Message: <blockquote data-quote="LightPhoenix" data-source="post: 4743776" data-attributes="member: 115">As an introduction, I just want to say that this review may be biased based on my response to this week's House.  The short version is I agreed with the message, but hated the ham-fisted way with which the aftermath was written, and didn't like (MAJOR SPOILER) [spoiler]that my favorite character was killed off, while my least favorite character (Thirteen) was not[/spoiler].  So I was already in a bit of a cranky mood going into Heroes tonight.I am sick of Danko.  I don't think that his story is interesting, and I certainly didn't find it any more interesting tonight.  Every day I hope for his death, and not because he's the villain.I enjoyed the HRG mind-futz via Sylar's shapechanging.  I do have two criticisms.  First, I thought for sure Danko was really Sylar; after all, Danko was dealing with Matt at the time.  I think that was poor editing, and could have used a throwaway line about Danko "dealing with something."  My second is that we've never seen someone with regeneration be able to control it; I'm willing to chalk that up to Sylar being able to understand how powers work, but it stuck out in my mind.  I think I would have liked it better if HRG actually killed the guy, and he was "innocent," and Sylar tricked him into doing it.  Great acting by Jack Coleman and Ashley Crow... they were just off enough to make me realize they were Sylar, without being completely off.Hiro/Ando/Baby Matt was completely pointless.  It was made more pointless by the fact that the baby cheered up for Matt... who has not been in his life.  I was hoping after last week they were going to make Hiro's stories less childishly stupid.  I guess it was a one-off.The Petrelli clan's scenes were equally pointless, since they didn't go anywhere.  There's no reason that all of their scenes couldn't have been moved into the next episode.I liked the show acknowledging Mohinder and Matt's friendship, and his attempt to stop Matt.  I don't necessarily buy that Homeland Security would miss stuff in storage, but okay, if it gets Mohinder involved in the main story, I'm okay with it.As for Matt... I actually enjoyed his part.  Matt was devestated and wanted revenge, but Matt was never that person that could go and kill an innocent person, no matter how much he tried.  Once he realized he couldn't have revenge, he gave up wanting to live.  It took Hiro rescuing him and bringing him his son to bring him back around.  I'm willing to fan-wank a bit and guess that since Baby Matt has a power, Matt knows it's his son, and can at least begin to forgive his wife a little.I have two hopes for the end of this season.  First, I hope that Sylar's powers are reduced again, possibly via Baby Matt.  Second, there really needs to be a large scale "blow the budget" action scene when they (hopefully) confront Sylar again.</blockquote>
