Ink

This episode was a little boring. Not all of the characters were included, but it was nice to see them take the time to really focus on the few they did, and really dig deep.

Sylar using Matt's own powers against him was pretty intense, but nothing I would ever put past Mr. Gray. The comparison of him using his powers to abusing alcohol is really awesome. Everytime he uses them he considers it a relapse and gets down on himself. This, as Sylar mentioned to him, could be his downfall since he lacks self-confidence.

Claire told her new roommate about her powers after she saw her fall. They both went out to lunch with Dad and he could tell something was up. Still boring. They are just building up to the lesbian kiss I keep hearing about. I think Claire is settling and coud do a lot better. That's just my opinion.

Peter is facing a fake lawsuit from our Motley Crue friend. After he talks to Peter, he shakes his hand and says 'you're just like I thought you'd be". or something like that. Then drops the lawsuit that never made sense to begin with. Asshole. Motley Crue then goes to his old house where his brother and him grew up. (His brother died at the beginning of the season, but we have yet to meet him or flash back to him.) He asks the owner to look around and she pompously declines. In a fit of rage he makes a giant sinkhole and kills all of the rich people inside. Then Peter sees the crazy compass tattoo on his forearm. Lame.

A new hero is introduced in this episode. I forget her name but she is deaf and can "see" sound as light in different colors. Like Beethoven or something. She shows promise to being a worthwhile character, although her power seems sort of useless. I am also kind of peeved that all of the female characters are progressively Blonde. The new Motley Crue girlfriend character is blonde, Claire is blonde, Nikki/Tracy is blonde, Elle is blonde, and this new deaf girl is blonde! What the hell? Arian nation much? Even the black girl that was Micah's cousin or aunt or whatever just "stopped hanging out" with everyone. Did she get scared? She can do anything, she should be in the main storyline! And the other brunette, Maya, was annoying as hell and had the dumbest power invented. "Oh, I get angry and everyone dies with ink in their eyes." Stupid. We need an equal playing field. Just saying.

Whoa, I got carried away. This episode was lackluster so I had to go somewhere with it. Basically I like Matt parkman's character more and more with each episode. The Motley Crue guy is growing on me I guess. Everyone else stays the same on my Like-O-Meter. Step it up, Tim.
