Heroes: It's a hard day to be blond

tardis_stowawayRandom thoughts regarding Heroes:
-Two character deaths? TWO? :( At least Tracy kicked ass in her last stand. But WTF was up with that blinking? If someone puts her fragments together before she thaws, would she still be alive? Anyway, I liked Tracy with all of her ambiguity, and I'm sorry to see her go. Daphne actually dying caught me by surprise. Sometimes that character annoyed me, but other times I liked her a lot, and I feel bad for poor Matt. Kind of loved the flying scene, though. It was right on the edge of over the top, but for me it still worked.
-Hiro and Ando continue to be utterly adorable. Hiro pushing Ando around in the wheelbarrow while carrying the baby in a sling was probably my favorite moment of the episode. I literally applauded when Hiro's time-stopping power came back. Yatta! Actual serious discussion about Hiro's parental issues and his mom's death was also well done.
-If I found two strange men in my house, hiding in the closet, and no sign of the babysitter I hired, I think I'd be a little more upset than that. Just saying.
-I should really make a chart so I can track of where characters are from one episode to the next, who trusts (or at least is willing to work with) whom, etc. I keep losing track. Bad semi-fan.
-First we had what's his name hunter guy ominously shaving, then HRG didn't clean himself up after shaving. Is this some sort of motif? What does it mean?
-Angela Petrelli is amazingly cool and collected even when hunted like an animal and umbrellaless in the rain. And look! Unexpected flying Peter in the elevator FTW!
-For just a second after mini!Matt made the TV come on, I was convinced that he had a Michah-like ability with machines plus abnormal intelligence and that the baby was actually Rebel. How cool would that have been? VERY cool indeed.
-Micah being Rebel was totally unsurprising, but I was glad to see him again. He's grown, but still very recognizable. His revolutionary stance makes sense to me. He's getting into his early teen years, a stage in life when many young people powerfully want to identify with some group. He identifies as mutant/talented/whatever you want to call it, so he will throw himself into that cause to a somewhat foolhardy extent. The us vs. them morality seems black and white to him, which is why Rebel helped out nasty mutants like the Puppetman. Also, if Micah is back, can we get Nichelle Nichols again too? Please?
-And now for the ritual recitation of the lines that apply to pretty much every Heroes episode, especially after S1:
Mohinder, you idiot!
NEEDS MORE CLAUDE.
