Heroes help

I basically liked last night's episode of "Heroes" ("Company Man"). But there were a few logical lapses that irritated me. I know, I know, it's a show about superheroes. I don't ask that it be realistic, I only ask that it be internally consistent and not obviously stupid.

So, one: Claire subdues radioactive man by injecting him with a sedative. A liquid sedative. At the same time that he's throwing off enough radiation to set the curtains on fire (what all that radiation is doing to the rest of the Bennett family is also a fair question).

Two: HRG's boss talks about what an asset Parkman would be. But wait, the company already had Parkman and then let him go. Why didn't they recruit him then?

"Heroes" often gets credit from "Lost" fans because, unlike the ABC show, "Heroes" pretty consistently doles out meaningful answers and generally keeps the plot moving forward, instead of spinning it in circles. However, "Company Man" was supposed to tell us HRG's story, but all it really did was tell us what we already knew: He works for some secretive organization with questionable ethics and that he adopted Claire when she was just a baby. The only real revelation was that Claude (the invisible man), used to be HRG's partner.
