Who else caught the license plate on George Takei's car?

NCC-1701 from the quick glimpse I got. By the time I realized it was already gone

Missed the license plate. Ah well.

Gotta say I'm a bit surprised about Claire's daddy. I know it SEEMED like Nathan's arm last week, but I figured that was an intentional distraction. Looks like it was the real deal. Methinks this is going to complicate things and spin Nathan to the dark side.

What a pity.

Kudos to Hiro for playing his sister. Ha, he sure has HER number.

[mi4si]

I really thought it'd be Linderman and that Nathan would be too obvious. Oh well, still a good episode.

Kind of a weak show tonight. 7/10
Thought the writers said just kidding and set us back two or three episodes. Hiro/father stuff was very boring; I hope that there is more to this than what was tonight. Sylar is out and that part is reset. Claire and her mother was slow, love the father twist, I did not see that coming.
Some dead bodies in the sand… naaa you can go. WHAT???
I did like the Peter/ Claude thing should take a little time and that is a good thing.

[ShadowMaat]

Yeah, some of the storylines are a bit frustrating.

I know the whole thing with Hiro's family was supposed to underline the whole issue of being just another blank-faced cog and the Traditions that he's trying to evade, but I kinda wish we could have gotten more out of Mr. Nakamura than a stone-faced stereotype.

Claire and her mom was kinda meh. BTW, am I the only one who wondered if that suspiciously large necklace contained a tracking device? I'm sure it isn't, but dang, I really wondered for a minute. ...Of course, I also thought Daddy was Mr. Linderman in which case a tracking device might make more sense.

Claire's pseudomommy is a bit of a twit, isn't she? And yet I felt sorry for her at the end. How many times has her memory been erased? No wonder she's obsessed with her dog, it's probably the only thing she can be sure about with her Haitian-induced jittery memory.

Peter and Claude were interesting.I hope they go slow with this, too. And I hope Claude's gonna be sticking around for a while. LOVED the scene where Pete started freaking out about losing control and Claude just popped him in the nose. Hee!

Hope things pick up next week. And I really REALLY hope Nathan isn't going to turn evil. Please please please.

loved the licence plate. Such a sucker for in-jokes, what can I say.

"I would have died if I didn't regenerate!" Heheh...

[NowIWillDestroyAbydos]

Holy Crap. Nathan's the last person I'd expect to be Claire's Dad. Great episode, can't wait until next week's episode for the effects of "Nathan is Claire's dad" shocker.

"I would have died if I didn't regenerate!" Heheh...

That was sweet, wasn't it? I'm loving this show more and more.

And Nathan being Claire's father - I never would have guessed that in a million years.

[ToasterOnFire]

Oh ye gods, I looked at that cityscape painting of Isaac's and immediately thought "Look, a Stargate!!"

[the fifth man]

Oh ye gods, I looked at that cityscape painting of Isaac's and immediately thought "Look, a Stargate!!"

You know, I didn't think of that at first. But, you are right. It did look like one.

[memnarch]

Good episode. I don't think Simone and Isaac were necessarily being romantic and I'm disappointed that Peter didn't see that. Liked Claude's lesson though. Oh! And apparently Mr. Bennet is acquainted with him...interesting...

I thought Nathan being the father was predictable, but even still I didn't see it coming. The big issue is that all the Peter/Claire shippers are all going "Hold the phone!" haha

Did anyone happen to catch what Mr. Bennet's first name was on his driver's lisence? It should be there...

I liked Hiro's storyline, although it seemed from the storylines that Hiro's dad would take a bit more convincing than he ended up needing. Although I hear on the pipeline

Spoiler:

that we may see him with another hero besides Hiro, so who knows.

But who knows if those things are accurate all the time.

Overall, *** stars (for once a Gateworld rating I agree with...)

On the one hand, a buddy and I both thought it was Nathan, but on the other, WOW!

And let's not even start on the preview for next week

[alaskannut]

Methinks this is going to complicate things and spin Nathan to the dark side.

How do you figure that? If anything, I would think that it would draw him out of his box and actually get him involved in "the mission" to a greater extent, realizing once and for all that they are all connected.

Personally, I'm a bit more worried about the new friends that Mohinder and Isaac are keeping
