* Angela's mind is still trapped inside her comatose body. Wouldn't it be convenient if we had a hero with the ability to enter someone's mind and read their thoughts? Well, I'm hearing Matt and Daphne are on the way...
* Next week one Hero begs for death. Another Hero has the power, and perhaps the motive, to do put that first Hero out of his or her misery. Could Herocide actually happen? OK, maybe, but what about when the Hero who wants to die is the totally awesome Kristen Bell?
* We'll learn next week that the formula is incomplete. There are the two parts we know about, but Suresh discovers a third element he calls "the Catalyst." What is it? More like, who is it? Dun-dun-dun! My money's on the blond chick in the skirt who's the key to saving the world!
Funny thing about the previews... while the US preview points out the coming of the Eclipse (which would be Ep 10 and 11, The Eclipse part 1 and 2 respectively) shows nothing about the actual episode
... while the Canadian shows everything that happens in this episode...
so Claire's the Catalyst... what's the Catalyst?... and how did Claire know about it?

The only heroes that I think are safe from being killed off the show are Sylar,Peter, and Claire. I wouldn't be surprised if Tracy or Meridith killed the other in fight or if Flint kills his sister which would then make him Claire's target.
EDIT: After seeing the other trailer (without the eclipse) I think Meridith,Nathan or HRG could sacrifice themselves to save Claire from being captured by Pinehearst.
I actually stopped watching half way through, went and made myself a sandwich, checked my e-mail, and then turned it back on. I know it's not a big deal, but I've never skipped out on an episode like that.
I did like the scene with Peter stopping Flint and Knox. But I realized something. Flint and Knox are so annoying man. They are so mindless with virtually no personality. And the scene with Sylar and Elle just wasn't what it should have been.
I just don't buy Sylar being a good guy. The man was willing to murder children to get powers. I mean, the writers have obviously made this storyline up as they go, it's sad. I mean "Intuitive Aptitude?" For a man who's power was initially "He knows how things work, and how powers work," he REALLY didn't know how his power worked.
Although props to Kristen Bell. It's rare that there is some sweet ass acting in heroes, and she did well this episode for sure. What a babe.
In the preview for next week, it showed the heroes losing their abilities, and I actually said outloud "...I only watch this show BECAUSE they have powers...this show is crap without them."
Which isn't entirely true, Season 1 actually had drama and story to it. Remember Simone? And Matt's wife? All of that stuff really made it a good show. Now, its just.....weak sauce man.
I could buy into Sylar not knowing that he could use his power to understand that way of taking powers, perhaps. Perhaps it made more sense to get down to the gritty brain-ripping and look at the brain itself rather than understand people... which was kind of weird, but the scene with Sylar and Elle was well done, they are both excellent performers.
Peter used his head with Flint and Knox... and as far as Knox goes, his power has some scary villain potential but he is just a thug when it comes down to it. And Flint... Flint just isn't a serious villain.
Should be interesting to see how everything goes next week...
