Ok, I did feel really bad for her at this point.

If so, look for a jail break next week as I do not think Dad has any thought of helping anyone but his 'daughter' and himself.

I don't think Peter can "keep" his powers for that long. Question though, did he have a scar from his Sylar encounter? Future-Hiro made a comment about a scar.

The question is did they save the right cheerleader?

They've been playing close to the line on that for a while. I think the main point is that it doesn't matter because he's still there for her

Sure, ‘Heroes’ is hot, but its much-hyped episode was a let-down

They're full of crap.

He didn't say he wasn't gay though. He basically said "I'm happy with who I am and I want you to be too." I took that as admitting he's gay with out upsetting right wing bible thumpers...who I would guess wouldn't actually watch the show. So then why be ambiguous?

It left me wondering if the writers (and actor) knew about this twist very long. Like I mentioned I thought he luvs Claire. So now I'm trying to figure out if it was intentional or did this come from out of the blue.

It's been in there though. There was a comment about taking her out for a date and he said something like "not on your life." And the second episode had a comment from Jackie about "I heard you got an erection in the locker room" to Zach. Basically a punch worthy comment that made Claire's assault on her so much sweeter.

I don't think they're avoiding upsetting the conservative Christian crowd, to me it's a very normal progression. He's 17 or so and even if he's sure that he is gay, he's not necessarily ready to reveal it. To him, that's as big of a secret as Claire's superpowers.

I think they're leaving it open for the audience so it can go either way, but they've already decided.

Apparently the characters have Myspace pages (I don't have access at work) and he's listed as "questioning."

Thanks! You're totally right. I was so under the "Zach + Claire 4 Eva" spell that I let those hints slip past me.
