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?
