[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 4590666, member: 115"] Overall I thought it was pretty good... I don't particularly have any complaints. Three stories, plenty of time for each one. First off, the totally nitpicky thing out of the way first, so people can slam me on it. :p The bottom of a vacutainer (the tubes the formula was in) is blunt and pretty resistant to breakage. I know this because I was a med tech for a while, and had daily contact with them. I almost died laughing when Ando "stabbed" himself with one. Daphne, Matt, and Ando are comedy gold. They have great chemistry together, and definitely need to be in more scenes with each other. Most of all I liked the actual [i]thought[/i] put into the scene... Daphne's WTF as to time travel and Matt's sciency explanation. Ando's power is neat, and it looks like wolff96 got his/her wish. However, god help them if they ever put Ando and Peter together. My hope is that Ando's power doesn't work on Peter, because it requires Peter to know the person. I know in the beginning the producers said they weren't good at horror. I disagree, and point to the Sylar storyline here. Excellent acting by Coleman, Rose, and Gilsig. Christine Rose in particular deserves a lot of credit for a job well done. Claire, on the other hand, sucked. Part of the problem IMO is that Hayden simply can not act badass enough for the stuff they're giving her. I think she's an okay actress, but the writers really need to write to her strengths. That said, I liked how she got revenge on Sylar in the end. She caught him monologuing. :) So Sylar is disabled but not dead... presumably he survived the fire and explosion. Also, it's entirely possible Meredith and Flint (may as well throw him in here too) are both still alive. They can't be burned, and they may have survived building collapse. I'm not sure why HRG didn't knock her unconscious though - that presumably would have stopped her power in the same way it stopped Ted. That bugged me a bit. Peter, again, way too trusting... but that's his character. He is the quintessential Lawful Good character on the show. I said to my friend after he injected the formula, "I hope we get a scene about how hypocritical that was." Did not disappoint. I like Evil Nathan. I wish we had gotten more of a path from them being close to Nathan pulling a total 180. I mean, I see all the road signs, but they could have been linked together better. Specifically, I wanted to see a scene where Nathan is jealous Peter is [i]still[/i] a hero even without his powers, let alone with the most powerful of abilities. I knew as soon as Mohinder was doused in the formula he was cured. I liked how they killed off a bunch of minor characters. I'm a little sad to see Knox go, as I thought he was the coolest of the actual villains, but it was a cool scene. They acknowledged Micah! Always makes me happy. My guess as to the two hands we saw were Micah and Monica. They do know how to make a promo, that's for sure. These last two episodes were, IMO, a good way back towards what I believe to be a good show. Hopefully they can keep it up. [/QUOTE]
