Literally the only thing Carlos has accomplished is getting Dearing killed. Even pre-powers Ando was more effective than Carlos has been so far, & part of Ando's character arc was his frustration at not being very effective.

Pondering out loud: Maybe Erica couldn't Matrix-jack Tommy's time travel because it isn't his native power? Like, maybe her machinery would only tap his absorption power instead of the space-time manipulation? (And maybe that's why she hasn't been looking for Peter or Sylar either?)

Agreed.

Easy-Mac is a product made by Kraft Foods, a single-serving microwavable variant of their signature macaroni & cheese.

For real, my dad was in the room when I started the episode, & even though he's never seen a second of the show (or any MCU stuff other than Iron Man 1 & Avengers 1), he was willing to watch the rest of the episode on the strength of that joke. :)

"As is often the case in Whedon TV shows, a man turns into a total asshole after having sex"
Other than Angel (repeatedly) & Ward, I don't recall that happening.

"Ward was a bit of a pyro as a kid. Please do not tell me that is a hint that he will become Hellfire."
Nah, it's just a callback to Ward's backstory in seasons 1 & 2.

Minus a leg.

What if Loki had won & unknowingly killed all the Inhumans anyway?

I don't think Harris knew White Korra was there. She hadn't been a factor in the fight, & she never left the diner afterwards until Noah came to get her; by then he & Joanne were long gone.

His power was Super Sunburn; it's nothing to brag about.

Based on what we saw onscreen, he had to get them to make contact with the penny. Noah stepped on his penny. Meanwhile, Caspar stopped Emily from touching the penny he was gonna use on her because he changed his mind & decided to let her keep her memory of Tommy. Joanne was about to touch her own penny when she…

Tracy was bad, but Nikki had been interesting. Barbara might've had potential.

Noah made a passing reference to Sylar (comparing him to Erica as somebody who stole others' powers for their own gain), & Angela made a passing reference to Peter (comparing Nathan/Tommy's power to Peter's 2nd power). We have no clue where they actually ARE, though, which is especially frustrating in Sylar's case, as…

Is there, though?
Hiro gets trapped in Evernow, is freed a year later by Noah & Miko, warps back 1 year to help Noah, warps back 16 years to hide babies, loses powers, ages 16 years raising Nathan/Tommy, fights room full of gun-wielding Harrises while using only two swords, probably dies.

Hell, I have a friend who still publishes zines; I don't even need to change THAT. :)

Miko's fun, though. And Joanne actually became relevant for a second when she nearly screwed up the plan to kidnap Tommy.

Taylor is taking Rene to Parkman's compound, so we might see all those people get un-brainwashed very suddenly; that's the tactical upside to having the Haitian instead of the Penny Man. (The artistic upside is that Rene is a better character than Caspar.)

They've ripped off video games before; Hiro's brain-surgery-hallucination swordfight was the ending of FF7.
