Episode 206 "The Line"
Observations:
What do you think about Extra Ordinary?
What the the vector for the worldwide disease? Is it Sylar and Maia or is it the Company and their anti-hero serum?
Did we know the invisible mans name prior to this episode? Claude.

Bad Math?
Don't read if you haven't watched last night's episode yet...
From the beginning of the season, we've been told there were originally 30 of them, but only 9 of them were left. We're led to believe that they are the original group of heroes from back in the day.
In addition, we know someone is trying to finish them off, and he's sending them snippets of a picture taken when they were together.
Last week, we learned that Parkman's father is among the group, and that he may be the "nightmare man" that haunts Molly.
We learn this week that his dad does indeed have powers, like Parkman, but he has taken the ability much much further. He is the nightmare man. And, at the end of the Parkman storyline, they find another picture with the mark on it. It's Bob, one of the others still alive, which implies that Parkman's dad is the one offing the others.
Since he can induce nightmares at any time in anyone, that makes sense. He created one for Ando and Hiro's dad that showed a figure pushing him off the roof. From a complete outsider's perspective, maybe we would have seen Hiro's dad back himself up to the edge and over the roof. It also explains how he could get to Mrs. Petrelli in the middle of a police station and escape. He wasn't there. He pulled a "freddy" and induced some type of nightmare.
But, here's something else. In the beginning of the episode, they give us a glimpse of the complete photo of the "nine." I froze it and counted. This is what I came up with:
From Left to Right
Linderman (dead)
Charles (dead)
Petrelli Sr. (presumed dead)
Mrs. Petrelli
Hiro's Dad (dead)
Unknown Male
Bob
Unknown Male
Unknown Female
Parkman's Dad
So, we've got 10 people in the photo, with three unknowns. But, we know that three of these guys are dead before the beginning of the season. That leaves seven.
If there are truly nine left (well, eight), then who are the others? We know who three of them are. We have images of three more, but that leaves two unknowns.
Is the invisible guy one of them? Let's assume he is, but that still leaves one left.

Previous showing of the Boogeyman?
Some Truthers and I were having lunch the other day and I started a discussion about how I think that the 5 years in the future vision we've been shown could still happen given everything that's happened. All the elements are still there for it to occur. But, I digress to the real meat of this post. During that discussion, I remembered a scene from the 3rd episode of season one. In it, Parkman is being taken down to Molly by Audrey. As they exit the elevator, they realize something's not right and Audrey yells "It's Sylar!" And we're taken on a chase and certainly led to believe it is this mystery man the show has been giving glimpses about up to that point.
Fast forward to what we know now and how that scene played out. When Audrey comes around the corner and tells "Sylar" to freeze, the man turns around and forces Audrey to hold the gun to her head. Then Matt runs around the corner and plugs 4 shots into the chest of the man in the shadows and he drops. This releases Audrey and after Matt turns around from checking on her, "Sylar" is gone seemingly vanishing into thin air.
I present that this man wasn't Sylar at all and is the Boogeyman we're looking for now. My evidence is 2 fold. First, Sylar has no way to survive 4 bullets to the chest. Before you use that he could have stopped them with his TK, I say that they certainly hit him and they knocked him down. Second, Sylar hasn't shown a way to escape like the man in that scene did. The only time we've seen that escape style since is when whomever went after Angela in the police station. That presumably being the Boogeyman. Also, the Boogeyman would definitely have a use for Molly. Oh, and Molly says in that scene at the FBI, "How did he find me? How did he find me?". Given what we know about what happens when Molly thinks about the Boogeyman, I think that's even stronger evidence.
I have another theory that the Boogeyman is possibly Takezo Kensei since we don't know if those who can regenerate can ever really die. I mean, if my organs can constantly regenerate, then they'll never wear out and I'd be immortal. That theory is pretty far fetched, but I feel pretty confident in my theory about us already having been shown the Boogeyman. What do you guys think?

Lizard -or- "Claire, keep your body parts off the floor!"
So,
We've seen the second episode, and sadly, the teaser from last week showed a lot of stuff that wasn't in this week's episode...
Like Sylar...
or Nikki/Jessica (not that we really miss her/them)
I had to digest it for a bit, mainly because I was trying to remember why Parkman, Nathan, and Ando don't remember each other -- They were all in the finale, right?
Not really... Ando was in Japan at that point. Parkman had been shot long before Nathan dropped in and flew off with Peter. So, they may know names, but not faces.
The bad guy who is after the nine (er, eight - almost seven) - appears to be another person with multiple powers.
But the most startling revelation of the show: Nathan & Peter's mom was getting it on with Sulu at some point!!! And do we get a glimpse of her power? I'm not sure. I would argue that her statement to Parkman could be simply that she's been exposed to mind readers in the past and knows how to resist them.
Nice to see more of the Peter story developing. At this point, to me, it's the only interesting story arc. Plus, we have a cute Irish lass in the story now as well. : )
Right now, I'm hoping Hiro's story has a twist somewhere. The Claire storyline is waiting for something to happen (although we got our first clue about more paintings this week). Claire gets bored and tests her powers (again), and gets caught by her new stalker. And, I am very "meh" about the twins.
What about the car? Apparently the new Nissan Rogue is so hot that people can't wait to steal it. I would think that if it has a nifty system to detect when you have the key in your pocket to unlock the car, the same would work in reverse (automatically locking the car when you were far enough way).
Oh, here's something to ponder. There's a shot of Peter looking in the mirror. Is it just me, or does the new haircut now give him a striking resemblance to Sylar?
