Am I allowed to post this yet?NIKI/JESSICA & DR. WITHERS
Jessica came out and ripped the handcuff chains off the interrogation room table. Dr. Withers had just told Niki that those cuffs could keep an elephant confined. Jessica slammed her hand down on top of the Dr's hand as she was about to grab the taser gun. I don't think the doctor is going to fare well in this situation.


ISAAC & SIMONE
Simone reveals painting of NYC -- after bomb goes off. The POV is from the roof of the Deveaux Building. Simone asks Isaac to paint Peter's location. Isaac says he's been trying, but when it comes to Peter, he can't paint his location and anything. In the end, he does offer to help Simone find Peter, though.


CLAIRE BENNET
Claire & Zach ask Mrs. Bennet for permission to cut school and go check out manatees. Actually, they're going to Kermit to meet with Claire's real mom.


HIRO & ANDO
Hiro's sister rolls out the painting of Hiro fighting the dinasour. Mr. Nakamura is standing there, looking disgusted. He says, "No more distractions. You will go home." After a couple more comments about Hiro being his only son and one day taking over as CEO, he tells Hiro, "This is your destiny." Hiro looks determined and calmly replies, "Father, I believe... I have a different destiny."


NIKI AGAIN
Dr. Withers is shown face down on the floor, with taser marks all over her. Her cell phone is lying in the floor, next to her. Niki says, "I tried to kill her... Take me back to my cell." Broken Nose says, "My pleasure" just as he hits her with his billy club.

PETER & CLAUDE
"You've been doing this for 15 years..." This scene took place too fast to get many quotes. Essentially, Claude says that Peter is stuck on what other people think of him. He says that people are bad and stinky when alone. He challenges Peter to spy on Simone, and they leave...


ISAAC
Isaac paints the exact location where Peter and Claude are standing, but they are NOT in the frame. In fact, three of his paintings are locations -- and none show Peter. The most interesting one is a cab -- from the overhead perspective.


KOMIKO & HIRO
"You have brought shame to our family, little brother." She tries to portray the situation as one of trouble for the family and the Yagamoto business. Hiro doesn't seem to buy it, but he does seem to come up with a plan.


CLAIRE & ZACH
"I always imagined my parents would live in a penthouse in NYC, not a trailer park in Kermit." Zach takes the keys and leaves Claire standing at the front porch of Meredith Gordon's trailer.

CLAIRE & MEREDITH
Claire and Meredith have a very touching moment -- full of love.


SYLAR, IN THE BENNET HOME
He's sitting on the hope chest at the foot of Claire's bed.
Sylar goes downstairs and runs into Sandra Bennet, who is coming in with groceries. With his best southern accent, "I'm making a delivery for your husband." He gives her some line about finding Mr. Muggles outside -- and bringing him back in. Sandra replies, "Aren't you just sweet?"

SYLAR & SANDRA BENNET
Sylar says he is so fond of Mr. Bennet and Claire.
Are you sure. If it's not too much trouble.
I don't think you'll reach him at the office, though. Last time I saw him, he was just swamped.

CLAIRE & MEREDITH GORDON
Claire and Mom talk. "
Meredith - "If I had known you were out there. ... I was so sure that nothing could have survived that fire."
She was in Mexico. "I moved around a lot. After I lost you, I sort of started running and never stopped. I just moved back to Kermit a few months ago."
Claire - "I have to show you something. YOu may understand it. You may not. But, I need you to see."
Claire takes a large kitchen knife and cuts her arm. "Please say something."
Meredith - "Some family." She opens her hand and starts fire in it.

SYLAR & MRS. BENNET
Sylar - "Cheerleader, huh?"
Team dissolved due to horrible murder.
"That must have been hard on poor Claire."
"She's really quite gifted."
Mom - "You've been to the game?"
"I should check with my husband again."
Sylar - "It's a shame not to kill her. Maybe I'll kill you first."
Sylar pulls Mrs. Bennet backward into a glass curio cabinet. She's laying on the floor, eyes open.

HRG and the HAITIAN burst in. HRG shoots Sylar in the chest -- and it blows him off his feet. Sylar drops to the floor, but escapes through the back door. As HRG heads to the kitchen, he yells to the Haitian, "Find him! He DIES!"

SIMONE (ISAAC'S STUDIO)
Isaac has painted he and Simone, standing together on the roof of the devastated Deveaux Bldg.
Simone - "I know we had a lot together Isaac, for a long time."
Isaac - "There's hope for us..."
More conversation -- too quick to quote some of it.
Simone - "You can't just see the future Isaac. You make it."
Isaac - "You really believe that?"
Simone - "I believe in you."
Peter and Claude are standing there together -- invisible -- watching as the scene transpires.

You threw me off a 30-story building.
You did it, didn't you? You cleared out your mind. You called out your power.
You were wrong. I don't have to cut her out. I have to remember her -- how she made me feel.

Sorry about the last post. BUT, when Nathan sat down in the chair, while talking to Meredith on the phone, I just hit Add Reply. Man, OH Man!

I hope this recap helps people recall and enjoy some of the details of Distractions. I gotta sign off and get some sleep. YEAH, RIGHT! Sleep -- after an episode like that?!? Not likely.

I don't see why not.

Cool, Hiro has a sister! The summary looks interesting. Comnfirms that Niki won't die in episode twelve like some people thought she would.

What seems strange is that the actress playing Hiro Nakamura's sister has "Nakamura" as a surname. Or is "Nakamura" such a frequent surname in Japan?!

Well, I had that information already in the spoiler section, since it hadn't aired yet, but meh...

It's should be fine to post though it is technically a spoiler this is the best section to put it in considering it's the section for episodes

01/29 - George Takei reveals: Mr. Nakamura, who is one of the world's wealthiest men, arrives with his bodyguards in a $450,000 car. He wants to bring his irresponsible son back to Japan. Hiro has mysteriously vanished to the United States, and that is intolerable! He has a need for appropriate defenses because there are evil people in the world — people who will kidnap rich men, or their children, and hold them for ransom. My character is very old school and believes in learning the business from the bottom up. He was brought up that way by his father, and he wants his son raised that way, too. That is why, when the series began, you first saw Hiro working in a cubicle. The Nakamuras are members of a long and very important Japanese dynasty. In ancient times we were in the shogun class. An old powerful family of the Japanese aristocracy would certainly have family treasures, and that could include a sword.... Only samurai were allowed to carry swords, and the upper echelon had the best of the swords, so therefore they became heirlooms. Source: TV Guide Online

Overall, decent episode--not my favourite, but it had some moments. Based on the previews, next week's will be really, really good.

Claude is the worst mentor EVER.

"I will teach you how to fly! I will throw you OFF THE ROOF OF A THIRTY-STORY BUILDING. It is a GOOD PLAN."

Regardless, I find myself a little bit in love with him.

As I said, not my favourite episode. I love that Sandra Bennet actually had some prominence in all of this because she's a vastly underused character and she doesn't need to be (people need to realize that having your memory erased so often is hard). Claude is growing on me.

Claude, I loved from the begining. I really don't know why, but he just really grew on me from the moment I saw him. I hate to say it, but the more I see Claude abuse Peter, the more I like him! When he tossed Peter off the building, I nearly started cracking up!

you no what the most important thing here is dont you? peter has all the powers of everyone!!

Peter is one of the only characters that really intrigues me. Is he an empath temporarily like Rogue from x men is or does he retain their powers?? Or is it just that whenever someone he has bin in contact with uses their powers he uses them too?? Claire used her healing ability, and Isaac used him painting ability. so now you gotta think is linked to them mentally?? or is he really not in control??

one character im really starting to pity is Mrs. Bennett. I feel bad for her due to her lack of choice. whenever something bad happens, her memory is erased. no wonder she seems so stupid. her brain has bin fried too much

Oh man what an amazing episode though I have to admit that Mrs. Bennet wasn't exactly the smartest person though she eventually figured out what Sylar was up to when he started sounding like some kind of pedophile

I had a pretty accurate feeling that Nathan would end up being Claire's father but man Claude is hilarious he throws Peter off the building and he's like fly!

In other news, Peter is Claire's uncle so no further romances there.

HOOOOOLLLYYYYY CCCCRRRAAAAAAPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn this show gets BETTER and BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't jumped for this much joysince conspiracy episodes of the X-Files were airing!!!!

It's the Fantastic four!!!!! (heheh) Nathan, Peter, Claire and now Claire's real mom!!!!!

I was NOT expecting this. Damn I love this show!!!! Heheh I guess it's Uncle Peter now:)

Loved the bit with Hiro and Ando and Hiro's sis Kimiko. Agh my mind is speeding through scenes of this episode I'm just real realy happy how the story is moving forward so much faster with so much more new story to take in. Zach re-establishing his friendship with Claire, Claire's mom's ability, etc , etc, yeah!!! If there is a show that knows the meaning of the word "build up", then this is IT!!!!!! DAMN I LOVe THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew it was Nathan From the moment I saw the preview of him sitting down! THE WATCH! THE RING! The WAY HE SLOUCHED DOWN!!!

Charlie_J can back me up on that! I am the one that told him first!

Tim Kring said that we will not see LINDERMAN until after someone dies! So it couldn't have been Linderman! Linderman couldn't have been Claire's Father!

I really can't wait to see Nathan explaining to his wife; "I thought she was dead! I never knew I had a daughter!!!"

That will be definitely crazy, if he even plans on telling her...

I knew that past would creep up on Nathan! After all, he is running for Mayor!!! Every politician has some skeletons in the closet, just like every Human being!

The question is, will this ruin his chances of WINNING? The Future has already been changed!!!

GO ISSAC!!!

We had already been told that Peter and Claire would not be getting together. I guess now we know why.
I think that Peter and Claire are going to freak when they find out their related.

I had narrowed it down to HRG and Nathan. No one else made any sense at all. I actually thought it was going to be HRG because he seemed so very protective of Claire but maybe just because he has raised her as his adoptive daughter. He sure didn't want her to be on the list so anyone else would know about her gift/power.

But I think it is going to be cool that her daddy is Nathan. I think he is going to freak when he actually finds out who she is. And that Peter actually saved his daughter and if Nathan had succeeded in stopping Peter as he wanted to, she might have been killed. So how much longer can Nathan deny his own gift/power? I think Nathan may just owe Peter some apologies! What do you think?

I think Nathan is disgusting so far! SUCH DENIAL! He definitely owes many apologies! But he will most-likely never come to his senses! Peter on the other hand really deserves to be helped. He has such a heart!

By the way, I knew it was Nathan as soon as I saw the preview for episode 14!!!

But I have to give credit to Charlie_J for hi "powers" of observation!

A little play on words there!

Sorry, i'm late. Just finished ep 14 & .....!!!!! OMG OMG OMG. Nathan is Claire FATHER!!!!!
qweafdsfasv!!! Don't know what to say!! Flying + Fire = Undistructable??? Does that make sense?

I think Peter will be the hero who fight Sylar, right?

(I fell the moment I saw Nathan sit down...)

Told ya so!

Was right ever since last week's preview!

-Alic

Excellent episode last night, the last two were a bit slow but last nite woke me up, and then after that 24 made my night.

No one has pointed out that since we now know more about Peter's power... that he has all of Sylars powers...

I like Claude filling the loveable rogue roll, though I think it’s pretty obvious he played the roll of Syler’s mentor now. I mean the manner in which he tried to get Peter to control his powers was the opposite of what peter has to do, so we can assume it’s what Syler needs to do to control his powers, not to mention the whole lack of any emotional empathy is the pedestal of psychopath which is very Syler… So does he know more than he’s letting on, or did Syler loose it after he taught him? My guess is he’ll be the mastermind controlling all the strings at the end of it all.

I love Claude. His character and his interactions with Peter keep getting better and better. At the same time, it makes me appreciate Peter more! I loved how he just socked Peter when his power was going nuts. Clearly, he and Bennett have history. Should be interesting to see how that progresses. So I guess Peter holds on to the powers much longer than we expected. I'm still not sure that he holds onto them permanently, but we'll see. If that's the case, right now he has regeneration, invisibility, precognition (which leads me to believe that his dreams are due to hanging around Isaac), bending time/space, telepathy, flight...damn! He could easily take on Sylar! Not clear on if he acquired Sylar's Mr. Fix-it ability or any of his others.

Curious as to why Sylar didn't just kill Mr. Bennett. Information perhaps? Nathan dropped a few rungs on the ladder. Yeah, at first, I was shocked about the revelation that he's Claire's bio-dad, but it's such a soap opera move and pretty uninspired I think. I hope they make it work, because right now the whole notion is falling flat for me. Huh...I wonder if Mr. Bennett knows that Nathan is Claire's bio-dad. Simone needs something better to do than fill the love triangle...it's just annoying and doesn't need all the attention it has right now. It's taking away from Isaac's spotlight a bit too. Interesting how he's now working with/for Bennett.

Yeah...Niki's getting annoying again. I feel like her stint in prison and Hiro's little stint with his dad didn't really do much of anything for their characters. I was kinda hoping the psychologist would actually be able to make some progress...instead she ends up tasered. I really didn't get the point of the encounter with Hiro's father. For all intensive purposes, it seems like that bit is over. Felt like George Takei was there just to boost ratings a bit...though I liked how he handled his character.

Wasn't a horrible episode...wasn't that great either. My 2 cents.

A romance between Peter and Claire was NEVER going to happen anyway. Come on folks! Peter is 26yo. Claire is 15yo. There's NO way Tim Kring was gonna make Peter a pedophile by having a romance with a 15 year old child. Even though she may have given him an "I dig you" look, there isn't any romance to be had between an almost 30-year old man and a girl who can't even drive yet.



OTOH, the dynamic between Peter and Claire will surely change (from her perspective) when she finds out Peter is her uncle. "You're so totally my hero" will change to, "You're so totally my uncle" soon.

Oh yeah... that would be kinda risque....and Oh BTW... she drove herself and the quarterback into that wall quite well don't ya think.

Ok, ep 15 looks like it will be cool. Looking forward to it even more now...

I agree, she's the devoted wife who's memory is constanly being erased. I also think that Ashley crow does an excellent job for however limited her on screen time may be. First when her husband mentions her forgetting "again" I got the feeling that there was almost a little bit of recognition and remembering but the horror of what's really going and the desire to live a "normal life" helps keep the memories suppressed. I got that feeling because she just seemed almost too willing to let some wierd black dude randomly put his hand on her face, even though to me it seemed like she had vague recognition of him. Which also leads me to believe that with every erase, the brain compensates more and the technique becomes less and less effective progressively.

I also think that as part of the brain compensation damage is done. I don't know if this was just her acting or maybe a physical problem of Ashley Crows but while Mrs. Bennet is talking to Claire I noticed the left side of her face seemed a bit slacker than before, like someone who'd suffered a minor stroke.

He should now have the powers of Sylar's kills:
- remembering everything
- telekineses
- whatever Molly's parents' abilities were

and the abilities of the ones he interacted with:
- power of flight
- bending time and space
- painting the future

Well, I think he has all these powers but doesn't know how to use them... it's somewhat like learning to walk for the first time, or learing to speak.... learning how to ride a bike...
If you would grow another arm or something due to mutation, whatever, you wouldn't instantaneously know how to use it.. you get the point...

Uu, I have an ideea... why doesn't Sylar just kill Peter. This way he can copy the other ones abilities without killing everyone...

That is right, I WOULD NEVER WRITE A STORY LINE LIKE THAT!!!

yep, I think the same. Paire isn't gonna to be a roma pairing. I like the fact that abilities seems to run in the family

wondering that too probably TPTB told Sylar to keep HRG alive. OR Sylar just want HRG to suffer after he takes claire.

I say George Takei IS THEE Best Actor to Play Mr. Nakamura. the Intimidation he Brings Suits it PERFECTLY the only bad thing I could say is he was too eager to Tear the Painting.
He should have made smaller stride to get to the painting. and MORE Rigid and Firm from his ANGER. (my guess it's the American influence that's rubbing off) the Episode wasn't Bad Most probably it's a start where Yamagato Industries start to Step in with the Battle of Companies.

CO.(OWI) v.s. Yamagato Industries v.s. Deveaux Society v.s. Primatech Paper v.s. Dunder Mifflin Inc.
