There were a few things I would have liked to see handled better, such as the fact that Alice stuck around for 48 years and didn't take off to parts unknown. I guess psycho-trauma might affect her that way; there's no telling what post traumatic stress disorder is gonna do to you. The scenes of them digging up the bodies weren't wasted time. Angela was looking for her sister's body. She was trying to figure out what her dream of her sister meant, and if she should even look for a grown, living woman at all. She had thought Alaice had not survived the horror of that night, and was unsure why her dream was calling her back. There were a couple of segues this episode like the one with Nathan and Claire, and I can't remember the other one, but I chose not to think that someone had gotten all wonky with time and space--though we were dealing with Hiro, in that one. I always thought that Charles Devereaux's power was out-of-body travel. Maybe that was just one aspect of whatever he could do, but I thought that Pete dreamed--his mom's power--about using Charles' power, which I thought was astral travel. I thought it was kind of cool when Claire said, "Dad," and both of them looked at her. My immediate thought was a sit-com called "My Two Dads". She is starting to become a better character, rather than being a hot-looking space-saver with a cool power. It seems to me that the dynamic is changing pretty drastically among those three, and Claire's maybe maturing as a result. I am glad that Sylar is getting some comeuppance for being such a jerk. His karmic tab was just getting way too high. Maybe it just had to "go around" a little farther to "come around" to him, again. I'm really sorry that some people can't seem to get what they want out of the show. I found when I started writing full time, it affected my reading enjoyment adversely. It took a lot of effort, actually, to quit looking at the way stories were put together, maybe catching a typo or mispelling, or the author's writing, rather than just putting my head in the book and being transported the way I was when I was a kid. It honestly doesn't seem to me that the show's shortcomings--and even someone who wants to believe it all as badly as I do can see them--are all that glaringly obvious, anymore. They do need to pare down the number of stories per episode, but they are moving in that direction, now. I think next season is going to be the best, yet.</blockquote>
