... uh. So because he's their 'real son' you think ...? I don't know if I can ever finish that, really.

But that's the thing that's getting to me. 'Cause okay, let's say real = biological, which considering half of my family was adopted by one or both parents I'll vehemently protest, and I'm sure HRG would have LOADS to say about that, but for the sake of argument, that's never been confirmed with Lyle. I could swear there's a mention in the cut scenes from the DVD set that he was adopted as well, and then there's this from Wikipedia:

Lyle's actual parentage has been questioned, after isolated instances of him being referred to as adopted; upon being questioned about it, one of the creators declined to answer directly, instead saying "for now, consider Lyle's true parentage undetermined."

Why would they make the origins of their other more attention-starved child so ambiguous unless there was going to be a reason for it later? If it's so unimportant, why wouldn't they just handwave and say, "Yeah, they conceived him after getting Claire"? When the Heroes writers are vague about something, it's usually because they're going to use it later.

tl;dr translation? "Watch next season, as Lyle finds out he's also adopted and shoots laser beams out of his eyes for fun at his sister!"

okay there's a deleted scene from Nothing to Hide, which is different from what we actually see (instead of Claire and Zach chasing Lyle out to the car, he just comes out of his room and gives Claire the tape) and Claire literally says to him "Sometimes it's nice to know that we're both adopted."

I think the fact that the writers actually intended it to the point that it was written and filmed makes it valid that he's adopted as is she.

Thanks, I knew I wasn't nuts. :)

Re: 62

I'm not saying that he should deserve more attention just because he's (apparently?) their biological child and Claire is not. I'm not intending to argue that biological > adopted. (And for the record, Claire is one of my favorite characters.) I just think that if I were him, I would feel hurt that my own parents seem to barely pay attention to me just because I don't have some freaky powers.
