I can't believe it, but Fuller has actually manged to make this show entertaining again. Last night's episode is easily the best we have had since Season 1. It made me care about characters that I disliked or completely had stopped caring about.

For once, the "romance" between Parkman and Daphne actually felt real. I love that Fuller called the other writers out for their terrible handling of this pairing. The last moment between those two actually was pretty touching, even though I kept yelling that Parkman couldn't fly. Once, I figured what was was going on, I enjoyed it.

I hated Nikki, and I hate Tracy even more, but even she had a nice redemptive story arc this episode. The coolest moment of the episode belonged to her, with her excellent use of powers.

Micah is Rebel. I think everyone knew that. His power is one of the coolest and most significant the show has. The kid can cause an apocalypse of the world if he chooses. Hopefully, his involvement leads to something.

I didn't hate Hiro for once, but I cringed at his "Yataa". Angela was good this episode too. I loved Fuller once again mocking the other writers in way of Angels character and dialogue. "I dug my sons a deep hole, and I'm now trying to pull them out of it". It translates to "Loeb, Alexander, and NBC fucked this show up terribly. Don't worry I will fix it though".

Go Bryan Fuller!

 

Peter seems to be acting like less of a tool and more badass(I loved the smirk he gave to the guys send to capture his mother), so I am hoping to see the next few episodes focus on him and Sylar.

 

Is it just me, or did they relegate Sylar to the role of "incidental bad guy you all care about who isn't the villain this season"? His daddy issues have gone on long enough, and wasted enough of his screen time, I think.

I'll enjoy him coming back into a more prominent Sylar-esque light -- his presence in Season 1 for me was a powerful reminder of the first time I saw the first Terminator movie: crush him, burn him, flay him, and he. will. keep. coming. Lately, he's been a whiny pussy who is about as badass as Aquaman.

 

I thought Sylar's daddy issues were resolved(by him essentially killing his dad).

Any thoughts on baby Matt Parkmans power, Im thinking the ability to power things up or maybe charge them. He can turn on at least the TV, Hiro got his hero power back(well the time stooping at least) and Ando can now blast people with his red energy beam.

 

Well with Fuller back, I think he can return Sylar to his former self.

 

?? Sylar's changing character has been one of the few consistent good points of the later seasons. We know Fuller can pull gold out of shit, but backtracking is NOT the way to go.

 

I enjoy Sylar greatly, but the whole thing with Angela and Arthur was done badly for his character. His flip-flopping from good to bad, while entertaining, didn't do much for the character.

 

It's a sad day when a character's inconsistency is touted as "one of the few consistent...points". I'll argue with you on the "good" part of that statement.

IE: Is he good this week? Is he evil? Did I stop caring three episodes ago?

 

Sylar isnt good or evil. He's out for himself. If you get in his way, well it sucks to be you.

 

Hiro explained the power fairly straight forward and retarded. He is 'baby touch and go'. What I got out of it is that the baby can essentially turn things 'on' regardless of power issues needed to make the object turn on. Thus he can turn on powers as well. My question is, is it permanently on or is it just temporary?

 

I think it might be until someone shuts the power off again. The TV certainly stayed on, as did the battery-operated robot.

 

Baby Touch and Go = Zombie Overlord

This is my dream.:awesome

 

Yeah this was fucked. I'd rather have him be that powerful but have the weakness of having to concentrate uber hard on it.

The last two episodes have been amazing, some of the best. I could of done without the God bit in the end, but overall it was sweet.

I can't fucking stand Hiro anymore, but at least him + Ando in a wheelbarrow was funny as hell.

Ditto. Peter has to go on the attack. He can piss and whine about it, but let the boy stop being a total puss.

Sylar stole the show as usual, and him killing the shapeshifter was awesome. it doesn't make sense though now, why he wouldn't kill the hunter, and take his place.

And what happened to Claire? She looks like she suddenly put on about 20 lbs, mostly in the face.

 

When actors get started they are thin. But then they get paid and can afford to eat.


Hayden Panettiere is short and when short people put on weight it looks twice as bad.
I thought it was just her hair that looked bad.

I thought the alarms hindered Matt's control. There were plenty of alarms going off and he had 6 people under control.

 

What was the point of that horrid episode? The only thing worth wile was the last minute, and even that was only a cocktease. I seriously have no clue what the hell, Fuller and writers were trying to do this episode. It was boring, bland, and boring. No one gives a shit about the Petrelli family.

 

I didn't mind it so much. I liked the bit with the past sequence with the heroes using their powers. It had this 1950's Sci fi Mystery feel to it that I found appealing. Almost hitchcock if that makes sense...

Plus compared to other episodes This was pretty damn good. Not Great but Pretty good.

I liked the whole Circular nature of Events though Battlestar Gallactica Did it First.

I don't like the Whole start up the secrecy and the company angle again...

I'm always for exposing the secrets to the world but I know there going to pussy out after that whole season With Nathan Finding God.

Why did Peter and Hiro Go Rogue again in that timeline? Something about designer powers and commodities... Claire Getting a leather fettish and generally looking like a walking angry stump. And Sylar having a mini Noah to toat around by his Sweater vests....

Shows never have the balls to change the status Quo... Iits like watching A cartoon from the early 90's. Some quest or Goal but somehow no matter how close and likely that they'll achieve there goals, They some how end up exactly like they were at the begining of the episode.

Either way, Sylar is still living up to his Natural Awesomeness...

 

Was it just me or were all three of the young male founders creepy as fuck?

They seemed more likely to gang rape Angela and bury her mutilated corpse in that desert than to help her found the Company.

 

I agree completely. Linderman was definitely the creepiest though.

 

I'm sorry, would you prefer to go back to the first half of this season, with the horrible acting and the non-existant character development? Jesus, man, since the writer's strike, Heroes has taken a sharp downward turn, with more unnecessary twists and "surprises" in its plot than all the seasons, past present and future, of Lost put together.

I really enjoyed last night's episode, because it was finally doing more to explore the fundaments of the story and the core Petrelli family the creators laid down for us in the very beginning, that awesome first season of airing. Last night, I finally saw the writers -- Kring, in particular, since I read that he stepped up to bat to solo write the piece -- doing a lot to clear the slate of all the awful fucking writing that has stained most of this season.

 

Who was the third male founder... There was Linderman, the black dieing guy peter took care of... and the weasely guy.

He doesn't seem like Matt's Dad and according the comics online from NBC Senior Petrelli and Linderman met in Nam or something and only then did his powers show...
