Sure, Sylar was extremely amusing and Arthur FINALLY died (he was an annoying villain), but the whole thing on the roof was boring and could've been done in a total of five minutes. All we needed was Hiro getting his memory back (and then getting his powers taken away. sigh). Honestly, Tim Kring says he has the shortened arcs in volumes so that every episode has a purpose, like in cable shows, but...this eppy could've have been a ten minute episode! I was just bored throughout the entire thing...again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-15865945437831467212008-12-15T11:10:00.000-05:002008-12-15T11:10:00.000-05:00"I kept thinking of Timecop, where Ron Silver's yo..."I kept thinking of Timecop, where Ron Silver's younger self met his older self and they violently canceled each other out."<BR/><BR/>Sadly, I too think of this whenever any story involves time travelers meeting their past/future selves.<BR/><BR/>For a crappy, crappy movie it sure has managed to stick around in my consciousness as a result, sadly.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-30197337023100087262008-12-11T18:16:00.000-05:002008-12-11T18:16:00.000-05:00@Near: I think the producers made it pretty clear...@Near: I think the producers made it pretty clear when Sylar cremated her. Twin sister? Nah, been done. Flashback? Probably.<BR/><BR/>I felt sad for Hiro when he screwed up (again!) after all the touching moments with his mother, and his promises to defend the catalyst. In retrospect, Hiro was instrumental to gathering all the important parts of the formula to Arthur, when he was actually intending to keep it as far away as possible. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad Hiro lost his powers and is stuck in the past. Maybe in this time he'll toughen up, and learn to stop telling "baddies" his plans to stop them.<BR/><BR/>If you are injected with the formula after you've lost your powers, do you get back the same powers? <BR/><BR/>Who created the catalyst and where is it now? Is it lost forever? Can Mohinder develop another catalyst from his limited supply of catalyzed formula?<BR/><BR/>What makes Pinehearst so sure that the super-marines won't go renegade and follow their own agenda? Did Mohinder develop a safeguard for that or was he counting on Arthur's ability?<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, and how come Mohinder, Nathan, and Tracy became chums so fast?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490799547054876707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-27691964241806222872008-12-11T17:10:00.000-05:002008-12-11T17:10:00.000-05:00i thought Sylar was done inconsistently this seaso...i thought Sylar was done inconsistently this season until I realized what they were doing... In a season called Villains, we've seen former villains brought into the grey along with current heroes. While some end of as a hero and some as a villain, Sylar was brought through the entire spectrum, ending to be his own person.<BR/><BR/>Sylar is the anti-hero. He doesn't have any evil plan. He just wants to help himself. This is actually the perfect spot for Sylar. He can be evil but also useful for others. He's the wildcard character.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-78442867178741465432008-12-11T04:55:00.000-05:002008-12-11T04:55:00.000-05:00What can I say?

In fact, I think this episode goes a long way to restoring the series back to its former glory. They gave us just about everything we wanted; old Sylar back (great!) Not actually a Petrelli (great!) Arthur dead (great!) Hiro no longer an annoying 10 year old (great!), I could go on.<BR/><BR/>Yes, they killed Elle. Remember though that this show has trouble killing off anyone for good. Linderman bought it way back in Season 1, and the actors had a busy time of it this season. Nikki? Dead. Actress? Still with us. Kaito? You get the picture. Elle may be gone, but I doubt we've seen the last of her.<BR/><BR/>A fantastic episode over all, this has fully restored my faith in the show. I heard that they got in new writers because of falling ratings, and if that's true then kudos to them. This episode felt like fanservice TBH, because it gave me everything I'd been asking for all throughout this somewhat shaky season.<BR/><BR/>Next up, I'd expect Peter to take the forumla, get his powers back and rescue Hiro (after Daphne and Matt show him the sketches). I'm also hoping that Sylar becomes the new main villain, because let's face it, he does it far better than Arthur.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
