Episode 4 - Collision

Oh, a whole lotta stuff happens in this episode.

Matt gets kidnapped by Claire's father and a mysterious guy we'll call The Haitian. They seem to be interested in testing Matt for stuff until he gets all manic on them and Cliare's father orders The Haitian to erase his memory.

Claire wakes up on the coroner's table and rather easily stitches herself together again, only to be faced with her would-be rapist at school. She somewhat calmly guides him into his own car and leads him to his death when she drives said car directly into a building.

Niki goes to see Linderman (the Las Vegas guy to whom she owes money), only to be told by one of his henchwomen that her debt will be erased if she puts Nathan Petrelli in a compromising position in a hotel room. Niki balks at this, but her 'killer relfection' (ikiN) takes over at a crucial point and performs the necessary deed. Unfortunately, after they fall asleep, Claire's father shows up with The Haitian and instructs him to "just take the one."

Hiro and Ando hit Vegas, and Hiro stops time to prevent Ando from losing all their money. Ando kind of digs this part of Hiro's talent and asks him to do it again so they can win more money. He does, but it ends badly when one of the sore losers from the poker table knocks Hiro down in an alley.

Peter and Mohinder meet, and Peter figures out that he might be absorbing people's powers; he convinces Mohinder to travel with him to Isaac's apartment but, on the way, something goes wonky on the train and everything's bathed in blue while time stops. Hiro shows up in a shiny black outfit, with shiny black hair, and speaks perfect English. "My name is Hiro Nakamura and I'm from the future. I have a message for you."

This is only going to get better, y'all.

"They seem to be interested in testing Matt for stuff".....this is poor writing people!!!!
Question: How can anyone be sure what happened to Matt if next week he's trying to read his wife's mind?

I'm with you lushlou-melb, poor writting & incorrect again, claire regenerates her bodies injuries as discussed last week, not a stitch required.Like the show hate the reviewer.

agreed, this show deserves much better commentating than this. it sounds like a ten yr old child was writing this. highly recommended that the writer should be changed

I agree. The message boards that were posted in America as the episodes were airing were brilliant. The web site that was given in last weeks episode was www.lasvegasniki.com. Carefull not to sneak ahead, the discussion is very in depth. They throw around different conspiracy theories, what the extent of the different characters power are, what is the evidence that you can see in each of the scenes that tell you what is going on. It is great.

On the topic of this reviewer, if you can try not just to state what events happened in the show. We have watched it, we know those bits. Put some thought into your analysis and try to talk about motivations and possibilities for what those events may mean to the story line.

If you wish you can point out possible continuity faults, like while the tissue of Claire's skull and brain may have regenerated after the stick was removed, how did the dried blood that coated her hair around the wound

I've been overseas for the last 2 episodes and will now wait for the DVD to come out.

I pity the people paying for advertising on a show that has such an important story thread, yet provides no support for those who miss previous episodes.
