samuel is heartbroken and starting to go apeshit :lol

oh, and claire is giving in to her lesbo ways :thumbsup:

-bennet said that the carnival was more like a cult. (Cult leaders are very persuasive and charismatic, Samuel uses the word "family" when he talks to people with abilities to make them feel less like freaks and more accepted.)
-When Joseph was talking to Mohinder he said that his brother has always sought out to be more than what he is. (Samuel is ambitious)

Through watching his interactions with other people you can kind of see how charismatic and charming Samuel can be when he wants something from someone. Eg he asked Claire to stay and look around only till her popcorn was finished. He knew that Claire couldn't be convinced by words and that she had to experience it her self, to top it all off he let that guy beat the shit out him until Claire stepped in and said "leave us alone" and at that point Samuel pretty much had her.

He seems to be pretty smart too, he was able to trick Hiro into going on some quest to right the wrongs of the past. But he also used this quest to find out Hiro's weakness (charlie) and kidnapped her to get Hiro to do other things for him.

another possibility could be that he also possesses the power to control people's will similar to Joseph (his brother could control emotions). But noone other than Syler right now can have more than one power so its doubtful that Samuel has more than one. But in a sense he's more powerful than Syler because the people he gathers around him all have powers and are very loyal to him, and he was even able to persuade Syler too.


We all know that his ULTIMATE goal is to gather enough people with abilities around him to enhance his own abilities. So all this talk about family, settling down, and creating a paradise are just to get more people to gather around him. IMO the writers have a very good idea going, they're just dragging it out and making it boring for viewers.
