Sounds good, the show needs bada** Sylar back - hopefully, it'll turn out good, I'm still not convinced that the show can redeem itself (pun intended :P) from all the season 2 and 3 crap...

Richard Dower

Very good.

Class!, very little of Claire....woot!, HRG back on form!!, Sylar....again?, getting his memory back and mommy issues....how many times have the writers played that card?

Hiro was actually GOOD in this this episode, not annoying at all...well put together episode, densly packed, gonna watch again for a fuller assement but overall really good ep.

Getting better by the week.

Nervous Wreck

Very good.

Agreed. Also, I nearly collapsed when

Peter realised that he'd frozen time too late to save himself from the shotgun blast.

It probably woulda been a bit quicker/easier to

teleport the healer to the hospital and have him save Hiro and then zip him back

but sure I like the way the whole thing turned out anyway.

Sylar's story was good I guess but if they're gonna have him confused etc, I'd like a bit more Sylar vs. Nathan going on.

Very little Claire is AWESOME.

Pretty much no Ando this season. A wise move.

I wanna see more Parkman. His story is getting really good with the Parkman/Sylar dynamic.

HRG is getting back into it. Good stuff.

Anyone else sick to death of the deaf chick sitting there playing some instrument with a gormless smile on her face looking at colours, do something with her already, its totally pointless and boring at this stage.

Good to see Sylar could be coming back to his best though.

youngblood

Very good.

Great Episode, Story moving along nicely, interest still bein maintained and maybe even reignited.
I think the Music/Sound lady could prove to be very interesting if they do her story right!! Fingers Crossed-

Will we see more Charlie considering she's in Glee at the moment??

Looking forward to next episode!!
Suprisingly!!

Monotype

Good episode. Will be interesting to see how Hiro messes up time. Or tries to.

MatthewVII

Bad, really bad.

The chances of Deaf Girl with Stupid Power turning out to be the villain of the series are starting to grow increasingly slim. Darnit.

J-blk

Meh with a capital "M".

There is no need to spoiler tag everything if you are talking about something that happened in the episode. The title should be more than enough warning that this thread will contain spoilers...

Good episode overall - no/very little Claire helps the show so much. Hiro's English accent is all over the place: it goes from crap to pretty good, back to crap.

Peter is a bit of a dumba** alright - he should have just teleported with the kid back to Hiro and then absorb the healing power rather than absorbing his power first.

Nervous Wreck

Very good.

I wonder if they'll let Peter save Hiro or if they'll show some balls and let him die...

Richard Dower

Very good.

Did anyone pick up what Emma said to Peter?....did you put that instrument in my appartement?
This makes me think the carnies put it there for a reason, her powers must have something bigger then just pretty lights and colors.

I think her power could be central overtime, speculation is rife it's Hiro who gets killed off!

Richard Dower

Very good.

I think Hiro will get killed off, Parkman or Nathan would not be as big a shock....WHY can't they kill Claire??????????? :mad:

HRG would go mad (literally) and start bagging and tagging

Richard Dower

Very good.

Weak. Yet another mediocre episode in a season of 'The only good thing left is Sylar, but we can't really call it the Sylar Show yet and god knows we don't have a clue what to do with his character so let's change it every 2 weeks...again....maybe they won't notice this time'. I'm also sick of Hiro at this point, at least in season one he had a purpose, since then he's just one half of Laurel and Hardy....stopping a guy killing himself because he kept photocopying his ass....doing a magic show to cheer up the Synesthesiac Wonder...yes, quality scripting and character development.
Seriously no matter how much I like some of the actors and their characters where is this season going? What's the gripping plot? Carnie cults looking to fill out their ranks? Peter finding himself, again....Sylar's character flips, again....Oh, and best of all Clare at college. Edge of your seat stuff It's like a soap opera with better fx.

suspectpackage

For the first time, I genuinely hope the show gets cancelled. So so cringeworthy with Hiro and th deaf girl and how many damn times are we going to see the deaf girl in slow motion looking around at the colours as she plays an instrument. There was some good in the episode, but it's not getting any better imo. I watched Dexter the night before and then to watch Heroes, there really is no comparison.

It looks like there will be a cancellation at the end of the season and I would be happy to see it cancelled because the writers have shown that they don't have what it takes.

Volvagia

mediocre episode.

Didn't like the whole jealousy thing between the Fast knives guy, and Sylar. Was very childish and pointless.

I didn't mind hiro and emma, Hiro is probably a good person to talk to if you want to get into the whole "Do something positive with your ability" which is something i'm curious to see.

No mention from claire about her trip to the other team with gretchen.

I do agree with suspectpackage in that I'm sick of watching her play an instrument and staring at the colours like some stoned monkey, i'd like to see a little bit more development on her part.

I also thought It would be a lot quicker for Peter to transport the kid to the hospital rather than take his power for himself.

Mackey1977

Why did I just waste 45 minutes?

I really can't see how anyone could this episode 5 out of 5. I voted 2. I absolutely hated it. it bored me to death. The trailer last week gave me the impression that Sylar was going to learn something major about himself. All he did was remember parts of his past, that we knew already.

I didn't vote 1, because it wasn't that bad. If someone really liked the episode and voted 4 out of 5, i'd say nothing.

Are people watching a different show?

My one hope for the season is that it finishes strongly, and is then cancelled on a high. Not a massive fan of the carnival folk. The blind girl storyline better lead someplace quick. Although having seen the storylines that Ali Larter (tracey strauss, Nikki\Jessica) has got, I wouldn't be too entusiastic.

This is one of the only shows I watch or have watched in the last number of years (24, Prison break, lost, West Wing, Sopranos, Life on Mars, Dexter) that I honestly don't like one character anymore. When i heard of plans to kill off one major character that everyone will miss, i'd still dumbfounded as regards who it would be.

Bryan fuller is a massive loss to the show. The best episodes of last season were the ones he had direct input on. It gave me hope of a return to form for the show. I'm gonna keep watching til the end, but with any luck it will come quicker than anticipated. The show could have done with a "Lost" type decision being made on the longevity of the show. If the show was going to be 4 seasons long, they could have worked on the start, middle and end. I don't see how they can rescue it now.

PirateShampoo

Very good.

Bryan Fuller is over rated.


There i said it.....

You're probably right. I've not seen Pushing Daisies or any of his other shows. I'm only going on the best episodes of Heroes all had him involved, and in most of them he had a massive input.

Nervous Wreck

Very good.

Pushing Daisies proves that this is not true. The latest episode of Heroes that he wrote was defo a let-down though.

Mackey1977

I thought he left Heroes after about the 3rd or 4th episode, or certainly his contribution is minimal.

Nervous Wreck

Very good.

^^This season? I'm not sure when his direct influence runs out actually. He's still 'on-board' but only as a producer if I recall.

PirateShampoo

Very good.

Sorry i meant just in Heroes, im not familiar with his other works.

Sherifu

Meh with a capital "M".

I liked it. Much better than last seasons drivel.

A Neurotic

Very good.

Deaf Girl's power better be seriously impressive once she figures it out, after all the time we've invested in looking at the f*cking thing.

EDIT: Oh yeah, really kickass episode. 5/5.

AlmightyCushion

Real let down. After last weeks episode I was hoping that Gretchen would turn out to be able to shapeshift. She'd then shape shift so she looks like Claire and the rest of the season would consist solely of claire and gretchen lezzing out. Maybe throw in invisible chick in to the mix as well to spice things up a little.

Joneser

Very good.

The preview for this weeks episode for anyone that needs a teaser

Mr.Nice Guy

Bad, really bad.

Thought it was alright but I'm getting pissed off with the deaf girl's power which to me seems like the most pointless power in the show's history.

A Neurotic

Very good.

Random thought just occurred to me. Could Peter heal Deaf Girl's Deafness?
