    Forgot about him...
    Is it wrong that when you said bob I immidietly Thought Dresden files Skull Bob?

    Anyway, I'm still waiting for Ando to use his powers on Hero or even Peter. I wonder what a super charged Peter would be like. Would his natural Spunging up power empaty thing go into overdrive and vacume up powers from all over the city, or would he just have his borrowed powers enhanced.

    I wonder what a Super Charged Sylar would be like.

    If his Powers are Understanding how things work Would that make him omnipotent?

    Knowing how everything works, and even beign able to generate his own powers in his brain. That I would like to see... He would be a God A psycopathic Fire Brimstone, Apocalyptic God.

    Whens Anyone going to tell Peter That using Claires Blood will fix him and his powers again so he can store multiple powers at once. I mean it worked for Sylar in the alley.

    I don't think they're going to ever mention Claire's blood again. That seemed like a mistake they're trying hard to never have people notice (like the irish girl trapped in the future).

    Personally I thought this episode sucked big time. I'm all for character exploration, and some back story but this was horribly done. The introduction of Alice was terrible and way too sudden. It also made no sense to leave Alice behind. How the fuck would a girl who can control the weather "hold them back". And hold them back from what? All they did was go have milkshakes and dance. It made no sense. Suresh bitch slapping her made no sense either. Peter's emo fly away and quick 180 about forgiveness was bullshit too. This episode was poorly done in every context. Also why the fuck did they have to dig the corpses?

    It's generally accepted that delivering a shock to a person, like a bitch slap, can snap them out of any hysteria they might be suffering.

    I'm going to point out that it's Peter, and that should be explanation enough. He's a natural empath. He gets pissed, then wants to take another shot at trying to make everything better.

    Angela wanted to find Alice's body so she could have closure. She said that in the episode.

    They have a habit of doing that. Reminds me of that Family Guy sketch where Stewie and Brian visit Germany and the Germans deny the Holocaust. "VE VERE ON VACATION!"

    They do seem to be connecting the future timeline so maybe Irish girl will make a comeback. Now what I also want to know is how the fuck Alice disappeared. Can she fly on wind currents, because it didn't seem like she had that much control of her power?

    And Noah seemed to be out of the loop at the last conversation. "We're a family and family's work together, they forgive each other. Now lets start this new family company... as a family... Oh Noah I didn't see you there, yeah I guess you can come to. By the way don't you have a son who you never spend a minute with?"

    I don't see how. I mean, she's stuck in the Quarantine/Virus future... the future that was erased after Peter nuked the virus. She's been erased from existence. Just as well, too. I wouldn't imagine her being too happy about Peter leaving her there.

    Probably just hid behind a big rock while that dust storm was confusing everyone and sneaked off to some other rathole, where she'll probably kill herself.

    I hope that's the last of the Petrelli-centric episodes. Honestly, no one cares about them anymore after the past two years of crap.

    I also hope that this volume is only 'Fugitives, Part I'. Wrapping up everything within the next few episodes really doesn't sit well with me.

    They wanted to slip away, the black guy made it sound ominous but they were just out for some fun. A sneaky getaway doesn't really work when they can track them through weather patterns.

    I think were thinking to much of the old company heads. The young ones were punk kids with powers. I don't think they thought past what they were going to do once they escaped.

    Really if Old lady petrellie hadn't had that vision of the future, I don't think they would have created the company at all. They probably would have just went there separate ways and tried to forget it all.

    I mean they aren't exactly the A team here.

    Maybee the true villain in the series are the prophets. They seem to fuck things up the most.

    Shoot the Prophet, Save the World!

    Well, that episode was pretty pointless. But it was nice to see Aunt Vivian from Pushing Daisies (Sylar's Mom) on my t.v. again.

    So Sylar is Norman Bates. A big resounding "meh" from me. And Matt and Hiro are total dicks. Matt for totally forgetting about his "twu luv" Daphne in 12 hours and Hiro for setting up Ando for the fall when he really didn't have to.

    Actually, I think the Hiro/Ando scenes caused me to actually like Hiro a little more.

    Look at the name, it should be obvious.
    Sylar as Norman Bates type of psycho was awesome. The rest not so much. However, just for the sheer brilliance of Zachary Quinto and Sylar, I liked this episode.

    This episode was bullshit. Here is why.

    1. Matt Parkman.
    So I guess Matt has developed multiple personality disorder since last week or something, since he seemed to completely forget all about how the government kidnapped, tortured and killed the love of his life. He has instead become a pacifist bitch afraid of conflict and trying to save his marriage and reconnect with his wife. I wouldn't mind so much, but then at the end of the episode he makes ANOTHER FUCKING U-TURN and decides he should go and fight after all. Bullshit.

    While we're on the subject of Matt being a prick and forgetting all about the people he loves, what the fuck happened to little Molly Walker? Y'know, the girl he practically adopted?

    2. Hiro and Ando.
    I like Hiro. I also like Ando. I really want to like them together but the writers are making it so fucking hard with all the bullshit they keep pulling with their characters. Hiro as an aspiring hero and Ando his faithful sidekick? I liked that. Then we had a role reversal with Hiro trying to be a hero without his powers while Ando tried to come to terms with his. I liked that too. Then baby Matt gave Hiro his powers back and I was looking forward to Hiro and Ando struggling over who gets to be the alpha hero. But at the end of this episode, Ando has powers and Hiro has a nosebleed. Bullshit. Also bullshit was how Hiro only just worked out that he could touch someone and they wouldn't freeze when he stopped time, despite the fact that he's been grabbing people to teleport them since the beginning of the first fucking season, but that's easier to accept because Hiro is fucking retarded.

    3. The Extended Petrelli Family.
    At the end of the last episode, Angela, Nathan, Peter, Claire and Noah decide that they're going to work together as a family. Approximately three minutes later, Nathan flies off to Washington on his own to save the President, because he started it and he has to finish it. What the fuck? What was the fucking point of dragging everyone out to Coyote Sands for '1961' if they're going to undermine it in the very next fucking episode? Bullshit.

    4. Sylar.
    There was a time when Sylar was an emotionless killer who showed no remorse, no fear, no mercy. He was a relentless engine of destruction and we loved him. Then the writers turned him into some kind of creepy stalker and had him manipulating the fuck out of Maya for some reason. And then the parental issues started and Sylar quickly stopped being a badass and started to turn into Peter Petrelli with stubble. We now come to the point where Sylar is self-harming, obsessing about losing his identity and shifting into the form of his own dead mother in order to carry on a conversation - with himself. And what the fuck was Sylar helping Micah escape for?! Not killing him, sure, OK, it's a stretch but I can accept that. Acting as a decoy to help the kid get away? Bullshit. Someone needs to track down the mouth-breathing faggot who thought making Sylar more human was a good idea and kick the shit out of him until he admits that he made a tragic error.

    5. Everyone Gets Captured.
    Nathan gets shot in the back. Danko says the agents are getting ready to move. We then see a montage where everyone gets captured. Despite being on the run for practically the entire fucking volume, everyone gets captured in the space of thirty seconds. Without even any dialogue. Mohinder Suresh is a dude who has super strength and super stamina and has managed to continue fighting (or at least running away) with multiple darts in him before, but he drops like a fucking stone. Bullshit. Angela, Claire and Noah get captured without any kind of fight whatsoever. She didn't see that coming? Bullshit. That's a full episode's worth of action there that we were screwed out of. We should have had a car chase, we should've seen Mohinder throwing agents through walls, we should've seen the command center directing the troops. Instead we saw Sylar turn into an old hag and carve up his own arm. Bullshit.

    Every time Heroes looks like it's going to start getting good again, we get an episode like this that just shit all over everything and leaves us back where we started. I can't understand why I still watch it.

    Peter wasn't caught. Besides that not much to argue about.

    Hiro wasn't touching Ando when he froze time in the van, yet Ando was groggy and able to talk to Hiro when he yanked the cable out. Touching them while time is froze isn't supposed to do anything to the person.

    This. Bitch vanished. She should be the first hero Nathan and co. went after. She could tell them where they all are.

    Maybe you blinked at the wrong time. Hiro slides his foot and touches Ando's foot before he stops time in the van.

    Didn't see that at all. Interesting. But still, if he needs to touch someone, shouldn't it be skin contact?

    Nah. Peter can absorb abilities through clothing and Sylar transforms his body and his clothing when he changes to another guy. This isn't any different.

    I'm sure the writers realised this, they just didn't feel like complicating the story line with these little things. One could always argue however, that these abilities can't be explained, and neither can the clothing tidbit.

    Yeah but several times Slyar transformed back into himself, wearing the same clothes as he had in the transformation. They're not really clear on it.

    The episode sucked. Period. On top of all the shit that has been said they have no made Sylar indestructible. Now, not only does he have rapid healing, know how things work, telekinesis, matter disintegrations, touch history, shape shifting, electric manipulation, and probably all the other shit he had before, but he also can't be killed by the neck nerve thing. It looks like every hero gets weaker all the while Sylar gets stronger.
