[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 4580854, member: 115"] See, I thought this was almost a perfect episode. I'm glad Kyle Baldwin got a better power this time around. :) I liked Sylar's return to a) serial killer, and b) dark humor. However, what I also liked was they didn't completely negate his growth this season, especially in regards to Peter. Peter is, of course, still the moral compass by which the others are judged. However, I like that he had the guts to fire... albeit a little too late. This was, for me, the perfect use of time travel, with regards to telling Hiro and Claire's stories. I thought both were interesting and poignant, and completely believable from the point of Hiro's Mother and HRG. Both are immersed in worlds where the impossible is possible... so they both accept Hiro/Claire immediately. Then... they crapped all over that, with Arthur. Ugh, I almost turned off the TV when that scene on the rooftop happened. Way to make the whole time travel thing utterly pointless. Hell, my friend, who likes the show but isn't a fan (and didn't know the Haitian could disable people like that) immediately said to me, "Why didn't Arthur do that in the first place?" Even he was upset. [I]This[/I] is why the numbers are down... it's [I]not[/I] just the hardcore fans complaining, it's the general audience. Of course, that bullet was not to the back of the head. Hopefully Sylar got it right. [EDIT]Matt/Daphne/Ando was cool... I believe Matt is the only one besides Future Peter to have experienced all three modes of Enhanced Travel (Speed, Flight, Teleport). I liked his line about teleporting. Also, I can chalk it up to being excited, but Ando should know he doesn't get Time Travel, he gets Red Lightning. Small continuity thing there. I was hoping he stopped and came back because he remembered Hiro's warning from the beginning of the season. [/QUOTE]
