The Tracy storyline was the most interesting. Apparently paternity is going to be an issue in this Volume.

Thankfully Mohinder and Maya were missing this episode. But I can definitely see where Ando’s going to be visiting Mohinder soon in search of his own power?

Also, it’s been suggested that Angela might, in addition to her premonition power, have the power to persuade. Anyone think that Nathan’s Linderman visions might be Angela getting into Nathan’s subconscious and persuading him to do as she pleases?

It was nice to see the return of the Haitian. Too bad he’s working for Angela.

How come Micah was the only one at the house? you would think a funeral for jessica and a viewing that there would be more people there? why on earth would you leave a child alone with his dead mother?

When the african painter guy says parkmans name I keep thinking he is saying "Pacman"

Sylar asking that cop for coffe...decaf was the giggle moment of the night.

the lady who plays claire's adoptive mom seems to have had a stroke or something. the left side of her face seems to sag. i remember her from a movie in the early 90's called "little big league" (a kid manages the minnesota twins). she was pretty hot. anyone heard if she was sick?

btw. this season sucks so far. time travel is a confusing and worn out plot device. where is the military on all these super humans. seems they would be wanting super-soldiers. heroes to zeroes.

I'm totally thinking that Zimmerman created clones. Perhaps the clone Nikki did have multiple personalities but the other clones, Barb and Trace, are single individuals. It's got the potential to be good or get old really fast.

Not sure what's going on with Parkman. This is not interesting to me. It's just like last year when Hiro went to Japan. It takes me out of the 'now' because it's taking to long to pull his story together when you have much more 'action' in the other character's segments.

Speaking of which, Hiro seems to be really interesting but still, moving slow. I knew that something bad was going to happen while they were standing there chit chatting after the Haitian got KTFO. I was thinking "come on and get going already." But what hapenns? Daphne comes and swipes the briefcase and moves fast enough to get out of the Haitian's range before he comes to. Hiro frustrates me and at the same time, I think he's story line is interesting. I really want to see the rift between him an Ando develop.

I think we are seing how Clarie is starting to become all future/matrix/gothish. Seems like her biological mom will be right. Clarie is resisting being a normal 17 year old and in the process is going to miss out on a lot emotionally. I wonder if she's also not able to feel pleasureable sensations in addition to being pain free?

Sylar.... well I would have expected much. He played HRG and Mrs. P. He looked at all of the 4 fugitives files and to have all of them in one place for the taking was tooooo much for him to resist. Though, it seems like that Banshee scream power isn't much compared to gaining strength based on people's fear. I wonder why he let Knox escape and didn't get his power?

I am looking forward to seeing what is going on with Monica, Maya, Mohinder and Micah. Why are all the "M" character's M...IA? Monica, because while this is a really Beneton looking cast, it's nice to see a black female with powers. Maya becuase she really doesn't want her power and I can't see her using it to do any 'good'. She's got a bad power but a good heart. Mohinder because his new power is probably going to cause him to go back to the drawing board and try to create another, more stable serum that causes all of Ando get his powers. Micah because I think he's got one of the clooest powers to date. Makes you wonder if Micah was born 1500 years ago, would he had even known he had powers to beging with?

Anyway, good show last night. Looking forward to next week's. I want to see this kinder, gentler Sylar.

Sylar being anything other than creepy is odd to me. I strangely only like him being creepy.

Sylar being anything other than a creepy killer is... creepy. I don't like the humanized version of him. Weirds me out.

What about Mama Petrelli "feeding" Sylar? She said that girl had the power to see a thing's or a person's history. I'm thinking that power along with Sylar's own power to understand and assimilate powers may mean he won't have to kill anymore to "feed". Although it may not be enough.

I loved this episode. I've loved the whole season so far. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I had a few thoughts while reading your review Jason. First, I wish someone else was writing the Heroes reviews for tvsquad. Someone who actually liked the show. I'd rather read a show by a fan that enjoyed the show and maybe had a few critiques than someone who obviously either hates it, or is so nit picky that they really can't enjoy it. I come right over to tvsquad to read the reviews and comments for many of my favorite shows. It's fun to read others thoughts, but when a reviewer like you just bashes a show, it's not fun. Maybe you just don't like Heroes, that's fine, but you shouldn't review a show you just don't like. Second, a comic book style show like this shouldn't be dissected with too much logic. You should just accept what's going on and have a good time. Give yourself over to the ride. It's like the painter told Parkman about things changing and then painting over the old painting. Things change in Heroes, just go with it and enjoy. I don't enjoy your reviews, I don't respect your opinions. I wish a true fan was reviewing the show.

I was disgusted by the behavior of Mrs. Petrelli with Sylar, with the close talk, the touching of the face/hair, and then to top it all, she introduced the other character who could know the history of objects by touch as a sacraficial lamb! Damn! It broke my heart a little.

Also, has anyone thought that perhaps the answer to Sylar's threat is to have him ....warning for those who don't like SPECULATION spoilers....steal the Haitians power, so that he negates his own powers! Ta dah...no more threat from Sylar!

Oh well, a creepy episode.

I liked the episode overall.

The storylines that need work or a big overhaul is Hiro/Ando, Parkman, and to a certain extent Claire.

But I AM pleasantly surprised by Niki/Jessica/Tracy storyline. I am just oh so very intrigued by Zimmerman and the possible Niki clones out there. Plus aww, Micah.

And of course there's the main dish of Sylar/Noah buddy cop show from hell. Good times.

Tons of Ali Larter's what?

I have liked the season.

I think Sylar was reaching for his humanity with his...other mom...that one time and failed, and I think if there's anyone that can manipulate him into being not-as-evil it would be momma Petrelli. She's controlling.

The Parkman thing is taking a bit too long.

And Daphne is adorable.

There's no real proof yet that future-Ando-with-powers is really Ando. Surely, in Heroes, any character who acts inconsistently can safely be assumed to be a shape-changer or future/alternate version of him/herself until proven otherwise?

I think there are too many plot lines this season. It's just a little too much to keep track of. Sometimes less is more. Overall, I'm enjoying this season so far but I'm not ecstatic.

"There could be tons of Ali Larter's running around out there."

First off, lose the apostrophe because I think you meant to pluralize her. Remember, the apostrophe key does not mean, "Holy s**t, here comes an 's'!"

Secondly, if you meant, "There could be tons of Ali Larters running around out there," then you have just hit upon one of my favorite fantasies. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

Am I the only person who loses interest at the constant story jumping? Three minutes per scene if we're lucky...then BAM off to something else, just as I get into it. This is one of the most poorly executed shows I've watched in ages. I love the premise, the characters....but you just cannot show every character in a show with a cast this big every week. I don't think I can watch any more.

I'll catch up via the squad review....I'm done trying to pay attention.

Mohinder and Maya very well could be banging through the rest of the season with his new found stamina. And think of how kinky with the way he can fly all over the room now.
