**SPOILERS** Heroes S03E22 "Turn & Face The Strange

Richard Dower

It's back people! ....yep, another twist-tastic episode!, great character development for Bennet and Denko and i LOVE this new direction for Sylar....using his powers not to kill people but using them to destroy his enemies lives by using his power wisely in a more realistic fashion.

I mean, a shapeshifter can be someone else and cause hovoc in that persons life, there were alot of very good shapeshiftery/who's who twists employed, and they were clever!

That twist Bennet pulled on Denko was genius!, whorthy of Sylar...Hiro and Ando wereactually fun this episode, it all seems to be going in the right direction with a build up.

Overall i'd say this was the third best ep. of the season, i think Fuller's influcence is working and it seems more focused and more clever plot twits....keep it up

Oh!....did anyone spot the plot hole they plugged involving Sylar? :-)
The next ep. is supposed to be the new Company Man, going back to the 60's to see how it all started.

Fantastic episode.The best in a long time imo. A lot of twists, Matt was actually interesting for once and Hiro and Ando were not annoying but provided some humour to the show.

It looks like Heroes is back to the quality of the first season.I cant for next weeks episode and its been a long time since I felt like that about Heroes

Best episode of the season!!

I nearly think Ando is being made to look an idiot for being so annoying in the last two seasons.

Best episode since season 1, without a doubt.
Glad to see Noah finally grew a brain too - finally acting like he did in the good old days -

until the end, anyway!

Meh!, didn't think it was that great HRG and his wife's scenes were very poor I thought. Parkman is still a waste of a character and I'm just sick of Ando and Hiro at this stage. Still way off the excitement of season 1. The shape shifter idea for Skylar is just getting to the stage where I think everyone is Skylar.

Not the worst ever, but still only average.

So I'm the only one who found the whole episode boring and very mediocre?

Didn't think this episode was so fantastic tbh. I gave it a 4, but it's a low 4.

On the plus side it was like an 'okay' episode of a good show, rather than just being straight up ****e.

The good : Noah's story. Sylar and his shapeshifting antics. The fact that it wasn't painful to watch.

The bad : the pacing was all a bit slow. Didn't particularly believe Parkman's revenge story (time for him to move on, tbpfh. Or die. Whichever). Hiro and Ando were boring. Denko's two dimensional never-before-heard-of love interest that they introduced for the purpose of this one story only... I hate when they do things like that and, at the same time, hope we never have to see her again. If she turns up again with some stupid power I'll be very upset.

Also.. at the end... "dig, and you will find the answers". **** sake woman! Have you not got a mouth on that craggy face of yours! What's the point in digging if you already know what's there!? Tell us for christs sake! Grrrr.


Ah well. On the right track at least.

Your crazy father left some stuff in storage??? and you didn't mention it until the script required some new information 3 seasons later.

Meh was underwhelmed by the whole episode, laughed my ass off at how many people HRG knocked over running from Denko.. Classic !

Good episode again but not great. The Noah/Sylar stuff was good. Hiro and Ando were ok, I laughed at the accent on the asian trucker. I could understand why the added in the love for Danko but an indication of it before now would have been better. Also would have thought that Danko was smarter than to just run to her without making sure that he wasn't being manipulated by someone. Especially as Sylar is around.

Agree that Angela could have told them what they were digging for. Looks like her sister is dead anyway. Next weeks episode will be interesting. They probably setup a camp to study peoples abilities. It may have been where they started developing the formula and once it was perfected they killed off all the staff/heroes.

I liked this episode. It got a bit confusing with Sylar shapeshifting. You judt didn't know who he was! I loved it though. It brought back some of the suspense!

I loved the line by Sylar:

Danko: "How did you make so much blood?"

Sylar: "I pushed a little extra out for the effect!!"

Brilliant!

parkman made him do it, remember he got into his mind and told danko, go to the one you love, cause there in trouble,

would be nice if parkman dissapeared till about half-way through season 4,

syler was just class, something will (or rather should) happen that syler will loose hes powers again, you can only allow him have so many,

thought angela was annoying, ya mom we found the dead bodies so what happened, "just keep digging" jesus, this week was terrible for dragging out stories, first 24 now this,

Parkman planted that thought alright but what I was saying is that Danko should know that Parkman can do that and that he should suspect any thoughts he has of that nature. I guess we can just put it down to Parkman's ability being powerful enough to overwrite any other thoughts. Just a small thing so it doesn't really matter.

hes can do it to anyone, sure when they escaped from the facility he made a crew of 4 or 5 people trained to capture them to just ignore them, even if you know what he can do you still cant stop it, even angela couldnt stop him getting into her brain,

That was kind of different. He made the crew not see them but the crew still were after them and acted normally. It all really depends on the thought that he put in.

He should really have a bit of fun with his power. Next time a group of soldiers catch him he should get them to perform the musical guys and dolls.

Nothing stands out for me about this episode and frankly I just found it boring. I couldnt get interested in it and ended up browsing the net constantly while it was on.

Hopefully next weeks will be better, given that it looks like those people in the ground were executed it could be a nice dark episode.

That episode sucked.

I found the whole thing unbelievably slow-paced and dull that I actually had to will myself to see it out. The stuff with Hiro, Ando and the baby was irritating and the stuff involving Danko and his love interest with the horrible accent really bored me to tears. Mohinder getting a lame storyline to prolong his relevance just made me roll my eyes along with his latest teeth-gnashing monologue about Icarus. The ending was lame as hell too. If you want answers dig? Yeah try digging up a half-arsed plot please and give me something to root for here.

I give this two stars and the only reason I do so was because I enjoyed the scene involving Noah shooting the guy (although I felt the scene's power was diminished when it was revealed to be Sylar. They could have revealed that in the next episode and left us guessing).

Overall really disappointed with this episode as I felt things had been improving of late.
