Told you so! As I wrote in my recent meta, this was the episode where I went from like to love with the show.

Hiro fanboys Nathan Petrelli. Which was the cutest thing ever

It so is. The Hiro 'n Nathan encounters throughout the show are all to die for, and it's such an expected and adorable relationship of two people you'd think have nothing in common but who hit it off famously.

I think my favourite thing in the whole episode was Nathan's landing - he can fly like a jet, but landing without shoes in the desert is still no fun.

That was a last minute addition to the script when Adrian Pasdar pointed out that Nathan, as opposed to Superman, is not made of steel.*g* (I love attentive actors!)

Elsewhere, Mr. Bennet proves terrifyingly awesome as he deals with the guy who tried to rape his little girl.

And now I can say it: doesn't Mr. Bennet strike you as the perfect mixture of Jack Bristow and Arvin Sloane?

Peter finally proving that his powers are their own kind of awesome, and Nathan reacting to blackmail by demanding that Mr. Linderman double his campaign contribution.

This giving us a great visual and a great outsharking scene respectively.*g*
