From TV.com
"Sylar and Peter face off. Sylar will face off with another Hero and Isaac's new pictures show a dead Hero without a brain. Two unexpected reunions will occur and Linderman will reveal to Nathan shocking secrets and plans. We will meet a computer savvy geek and a competent security guard who works in the Corinthian Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas. A hero dies."

Well heroes is back after the long wait, what did people think?

personally, i quite liked it, things are starting to come together, and it's been weeks since we've seen matts shrew of a wife. Which is only a good thing.

And

Double hiro! w00t!

BKtje · 24-04-2007 12:46pm

Well i shouted noooooooooooo at my screen when credits came up at the end so i musta enjoyed it

Otacon · 24-04-2007 1:14pm

**** star episode.

I liked the way it touched on everyone's story thread.

The only thing I didn't like or rather, didn't understand was

why didn't Mohinder off Sylar while he was out!

BKtje · 24-04-2007 1:29pm

probably more worried with trying to save peter i guess.

abelard · 24-04-2007 1:51pm

I think it had a lot to live up to after the last few episodes, and it wasn't quite up there with them, but was still bloody good.

I thought he same thing about Mohinder not offing Sylar. So many sharp shards of glass lying about and he didn't use any!

I was wondering after the last episode if Linderman would actually turn out to be not so bad, but no, I guess he is one of these "fire is the cleanser" madmen!

I'm not really liking the way the writers are using Candice, she makes many things kind of too easy to pull off, and I think the writers could use a bit more imagination in that respect.

Can't wait to learn a bit more about Peter and Nathan's mum, she seems like she might have an interesting story/power.

Interesting development too that Sprague can cause EMP bursts.

Anyway, story developed well on the whole, so no complaints really!

Otacon · 24-04-2007 2:49pm

HRG seems to know more about people's ability to control their powers than they do themselves.

Interesting...

Mahatma coat · 24-04-2007 3:07pm

Y'd presume like from cludes experience n bennetts service thqt the lads may have run qa few trainin camps in the aul days dat de Granny is talking about

so that'd be wht Bennett knewthat about whatsisface nukedude sprague or summat, boring as fkcu but pivotal to the story\

and two Hiro's, oh the posssibilities

doonothing · 24-04-2007 4:35pm

do we need to spoiler the stuff about hiro?
my god what an ep! couldnt believe it about isaac though
what exactly did he do that was so heroic? i missed that...
micah off with linders eh?? that should be interesting!

Otacon · 24-04-2007 4:43pm

Same here.

Though he mentioned something like he was letting the others know how to kill Sylar or something...

And what about what Sylar was painting? Did it look like him in the Oval Office or just some sh*t painting skills!?

Faith · 24-04-2007 4:56pm

Why didn't Peter duck? I mean, he's standing there and can see what Sylar's planning to do, and it doesn't occur to him to get out of the way? In fact, he actually turned his back??

Volvagia · 24-04-2007 4:56pm

really enjoyed it, so glad its back.
One thing that got me thinking was when Linderman was talking about when he learned of powers and how there was others too and how they all found each other and tried to make a difference to the world but then some of them lost their way.
Maybe there was a whole crew of old heroes, like Linderman and maybe Nathan and Peter auld one, going around back in the day?

sunzz · 24-04-2007 5:03pm

With regards the kid, could we be seeing an electronic rigging of the polls?

How nathan has come over to the darkside is pretty cool in the fact that if he thinks his brother is now indistructable he MAY be willing to sacrafice the new york population in order to get elected, well it would assume that way what with him asking claire to leave.

Linderman and nathans mom + dad must have been in the old group linder was talking about perhaps an interesting turn of events regarding old relationships will turn up.

Not sure but maybe, just maybe issacs final paints on how to kill sylar were in his final edition of the comic book he gave the young asian chap.

All in all a nice episode and its becoming more apparent that linderman owns the "company" if thats so then what involvment does hiro's father have with him?

9/10 for me, progressed the story along nice and smooth, lost prison break writers take note please.

Sean7 · 24-04-2007 5:57pm

That was great, so good to see them still on form after the break in the season.

mewso · 24-04-2007 6:55pm

I would just say the final episode of the comic showed Isaac that Hiro will find a way to stop things in the future and it will be something Isaac has done. Also please people the thread says spoilers in the title. If somebody reads it despite this then tough you know what. We don't need to use them within surely.

I think people are taking Isaac's warning a bit too seriously...

His spoiler comment made me laugh too.

What was Peter thinking, turning his back to Sylar when he was invisible? Surely a stupid thing to do. Obviously though Peter is not ready for a face off with Sylar yet.

I liked the look on Nathan's face when he was asking Claire to go away for a week and then come back. He knows that Peter is due to go thermo the day after the election. I'd also assume that Mikah is going to rig the election too.

So great to have it back, finally, even if it's only for a few weeks and then half a years break

Otacon wrote:

I didn't think it was all that heroic to lie there and die, especially when he knew it was coming. I can only imagine that he knows exactly where his death leads and was OK with giving his abilities to Sylar. As for showing the others how to kill Sylar, I can only imagine it's either in the sketch book or the final comic.

Couldn't quite figure out what Sylar was drawing at the end either, looked kind of like a darker version of the President Nathan scene, with a green faced Sylar as president too.

DeBeere · 24-04-2007 9:09pm

Really enjoyed watching it after that break, its pretty addictive!

Please tell me that isn't true!!!

Star Lord · 24-04-2007 9:51pm

Very good episode! Not the best, but very good all he same!

I guess Peter was trying to sneak around without disturbing anything or making noise, thatd have given him away immediately!

Interesting that Ted is coming to New York now, when will he and Peter meet?

You don't think that maybe the reason that Nathan is willing to go along with Linderman is for his wife's sake. He blames himself for her ending up in a wheelchair so if he goes along with Linderman's plan part of the deal is probably to fix her.

oooh. interesting idea..

when sylar goes to isaacs apt and asks isaac to show him the paintings, the second time he says, "show me" it sounds like he's using edens voice command talent. i though eden blew her brains out to prevent sylar getting her power?

Basq · 24-04-2007 10:18pm

Didn't enjoy this episode much really.. apart from the showdown between Peter and Sylar, it was all a bit meh!

Didn't particularly enjoy HRG, Ted and Matt escaping, the death of Isaac was inevitable and nothing spectacular, the meeting of Claire / Nathan / Peter was decent but all-in-all a bit schmaltzy, especially with Peter & Nathan's over-acting mother.

Might just be me.. but probably one of my least favourite so far.

Lawdie · 24-04-2007 11:17pm

great Ep, I wonder what Hiros father can do (special power)?

what? wouldn't it be easier to use the full keyboard available to you?

anyways, this episode was really, really worth the wait, can't wait for next week

Same here.

Typical US tv show coming back froma break having to try and do too much in the episode.

Oh and BTW Isaac said he'd already sold the painting where he showed the "rest of them" how to kill Sylar. I assume to Lindeman

actually.. peter doesn't know what sylar's powers are. (and incase you're forgetting, Sylar obtained the super-hearing power not too long ago, so he knew where peter was at all times, ducking wouldn't help)

Very interesting plot development. Must say i cant wait for the next ep... also, Is it just me, or does Future Hiro seem.. mad at Hiro? the last comment 'You....' with the sword still raised.. blergh

Isaac, well.. i suppose we knew for about 2 episodes he was going to die. Still a shame, but maybe next ep. we'll find out what he meant? Regarding Sylars painting... i think it was Linderman? not too sure though, weird painting.

It will be interesting to see what use linderman has for micah's power...

also. DOUBLE HIRO OMG \o/

toxick · 25-04-2007 12:24am

how did Mohinder just get up and go with the attack he got from sylar?

its oviouse that they cant change the future, due to if they could.. wouldnt future hiro go back and do it, because his skills are so developed(when he meet peter, he can stop time, make 1 person still be in a bubble with him and talk ect ) there is going to be a fraction in the people, good V evil..

nathan/peters mum, oviously knew linerman and so did the father. and the mother knows what lies ahead. great ep i think

BKtje · 25-04-2007 12:44am

I dont think he can make someone in a bubble with him. I think this is Peter's power at work, ala seeing invisible man.

Nah... I agree... it was no where near as good as it could have been.. it was very much a pedestrian episode to move the plot along to the season finale.

Some of the dialogue was horribly corny and predictable as well.

Oh... and nice work on the opening post and the poll 'thelordofcheese'

Agamemnon · 25-04-2007 1:54am

Great stuff, delighted to have it back. Check out the latest graphic novel: in it,

we find out that the future can be changed and we get to see what the world would be like if Sylar had killed Claire and taken her power.

Interesting that Mohinder is now working with the Company. The poor guy has no luck with the allies he makes: Eden, Sylar and now that Company guy who looks like a refugee from a 60s spy movie.

Strange as well that Sylar seems to have Eden's power anyway. Maybe when she blew her brains out, the part that Sylar ingests was still intact?

It's no surprise that Peter was facing away from Sylar when the glass was flying - even if he knew he could heal, it would be a natural reaction to turn away from glass flying at his face. His eyes would have taken a few seconds to heal anyway and he didn't want to be blind around Sylar for even a little while. Most of his fringe is still intact but at least it's gelled back now. He's turned his back on the emo lifestyle.

I wonder what Angela Petrelli's power is? In the next season, we might see "Heroes - The Early Years" and find out what Angela, Linderman and pals got up to.

Gauge · 25-04-2007 2:10am

Future-Hiro!

Awesome! Can't wait for next week's episode. I need to go make a new sig now.

Has anyone been doing the Heroes 360 thing? I was tempted to post a thread about it.
