I'm glad there was minimal hiro shit this episode. Want to see what's going on with "knows-how-to-do-shit-after-seeing-it-once girl.
Two words: photographic reflexes. Same idea as the Marvel villain
Taskmaster.
I kinda liked the other "learning girl" more than this one. The other one had a more cute/interesting personality than this one... though she didnt kick as much ass.
Two completely different powers. Charlie had eidetic memory, basically a photographic memory. It's been theorized that the human brain has the legitimate potential to perform this one and some people have exhibited a vague extent of it. Basically, she just sees and remembers everything. Monica, however, has photographic reflexes, making her able to mimic actions she has seen.
Two vaguely similar, but in effect different powers.
What is Sylar planning though? What point is it to know his companion's powers and such if he can't even use them anymore?
He presently can't use them. As Candice pointed out, his powers will return in time, but he's presently in rough shape.
Also, if the little girl that tracks people (forget her name) is afraid of tracking Bob, why not just track Parker's father? or vice versa? I mean, in case he didn't want to risk it.
Molly. In terms of your question, though, that's assuming that Bob and Park
man's father are together at all times, which is highly unlikely and a rather odd presumption to make. I know I sure as Hell am not with my coworkers at all times. Beyond that, Molly's afraid of tracking Parkman's father, not Bob. Mohinder would have no trouble getting ahold of Bob on his own, it's Parkman's dad that's the problem.
Finally, in case I missed something, since when did Nathan get separated and now is no longer to see his kids?
It happened in the four month gap. Not only was this established in the first episode of the season, it was mentioned repeatedly in this past episode.
