[QUOTE="fba827, post: 4942141, member: 807"] It was a lot of "setup" seeing where people are now and getting a hint at what is to come for each of them. there wasn't anything ground-breaking. hints at what was there ... [sblock] * sylar's taunting was fun (though i agree with an above poster, should have kept the taunting to matt, and not have nathan 'feeling' sylar quite so soon in the season) * the [i]result[/i] of claire's jump/push/fall test did feel a little bit like a let-down from the buildup. * hiro was manipulated way too easily *peter showed a little manipulative side (patrelli showing through ;) ) * HRG calling tracy as his bed buddy (not to mean it as i just made it sound) seemed forced * there was no mr muggles * the death that tracy witnessed (won't say who to avoid spoiler though you can probably guess) was a quick death in of itself, but the real focus came in to what the 'killer' was after... which was mainly used as (as far as we can tell for this episode) a macguffin to get certain people together. * i normally like angela's scenes because she pulls off a good 'cold manipulator' but a couple times she came off as paniced/desperate/heavyhanded forceful rather than manipulative which seemed off to me * we got a taste of the new carnival characters * when Samuel stabbed (Ray Park's character) with the ink pen and the ink was shooting up his body, it was actually forming in to a hand choking him at the neck... it was subtle, but a cool image. * clarie's roommate is/was annoying (which was on purpose) * there weren't any plot twists that made me feel surprised. it was either x leads to y which leads to z. and the one or two 'we'll do it as a surprise' type things felt predictable (but then, i saw a 5 minute promo a couple months ago, so maybe i remembered stuff from that) [/sblock] but as i said above. it's nothing ground breaking - just a set up opener for the season to know where characters are and hints as to where they might be going. if you're going in expecting a lot you'll be disappointed. if you go in expecting a lot of new stuff, you'll be disappointed (the focus was on characters we already know while only getting a small taste of the new characters from the carnival; so it will be a lot of the same inner-conflicts that you've seen before [/QUOTE]
