[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 4583552, member: 22622"] The big bad villian randomly appears at a place in time at the exact spot he needs to be with no knowledge to the audience of how he knows to take some random magical (magic in a show that's first season stuck to science fiction) energy that he somehow knows hiro has. Then in the future he mixes a magical stew to give powers. In th mean time ma petrelli sends her best agent, the emo Peter to assassinate the man who she thinks will destroy the world. Once again the hatian's powers are nerfed or increased at the speed of plot and then sylar comes in and does the killing thing because thats what he does. Right... this episode didn't have any problems. The scenes were HRG was good (as they always are) but stupid Hiro has been done to death. The last half of the episode just broadcasts in high def the absurd inconsistencies of the show that will lead to the show's cancelation in the near future. The show's about people with powers, those powers need to be defined and consistant for any audience to buy into the mythos. If they keep changing, disappearing, morphing and twisting it makes for a hard to understand plot and even harder to understand characterization. Every season has 2 or 3 different versions of the future, which further strangles the writing as they make inconsistencies to fix future inconsistencies. People, like myself and many on this thread, are just frustrated with the show and can't accept a less than the first season version of it. I can't look at a crappy inconsisent episode and say ... well those three seens were good so I'll give it an average score. I need to look at the whole and say, was i fully entertained. Heck, if i just watched the first 25 minutes, i would give it a 6, but those last 35 ruined the overall show. I kept asking myself questions, trying to remember things that didn't exist to find some form of reason why things that made no sense were happening [/QUOTE]
