Claire can no longer hold back her anger towards HRG.​

I just about had a seizure, Ma Bennett style. I need some time to calm down.

After a sadly disappointing episode of BSG last night, Heroes delivers with what was probably the best episode in the series so far.

And scenes from next week look only to be getting better

 

[LightPhoenix]

Seriously, I totally agree Steel_Wind. A bunch of shows I watch, but especially BSG, seem to be lapsing into boringness, but Heroes rarely fails to deliver.

Alright, now that I've breathed a bit.

For one, it seems Peter absorbed Sylar's powers, though it does seem he needs to know about them. Of course, if Sylar can only use one power at a time, perhaps Peter only got telekinesis.

Speaking of Peter, I pretty much died when he threw Claude off the roof (natch) and the flew up with him. I wasn't sure if he slowed time or used telekinesis, or both, to stop the second tazer, but wow. Then the fight with Isaac... definitely Peter's become a little warped due to Claude. I'm wondering now if Peter destroying New York City will be intentional at this point.

Poor Simone... I can't say she'll really be missed too much, but I love that it was Isaac that killed her.

Also on the possibly departing list - Claude! Christopher Eccelston absolutely stole the show from the cast, and he had great chemistry with Peter. I could watch an hour of the two of them and be entertained. He also wins the best line of the night:

"So stop me! Fly! Stop time! Paint me a pretty picture!"

On the doubtfully departed - we know Ando is back with Hiro by the time Peter blows up. Also, the Stan Lee cameo was very blah.

Mohinder is the dumbest geneticist on Earth, and even though I love Sylar, their D-story should have been cut. Yawn!

Claire... eh, I know it was necessary to build up to next week.

Finally, Ted, Matt, and Hana teaming up to take on Bennet! I've been waiting for some sort of team-up for a while now - I think that's why Peter and Claude are so popular too. Matt's pretty much snapped at this point, I think. Can't wait for this to come down next week.

[edit]Oh, I meant to mention two other powers-related things.

First, did Peter use The Voice on Isaac? He certainly did something.

Second, add Super-hearing to Sylar's repatoire. Though it does appear he doesn't adapt immediately to them.

SPOILERS.......







This was the best episode yet. Everything about this episode rocked! Stan Lee's cameo was awesome. Heck any cameo with Stan Lee is awesome.

Peter is by far the most powerful character on the show if you think about him having absorbed the powers of everyone he has come in contact with. Especially Sylar since they encountered each other at the school.

One thing I'll say about this show is that I love how they rapidly switch gears on you. As soon as you think they are going to drag out a plot point, they quickly resolve it in an often explosive and dramatic manner. It definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat while watching because although certain things are predictable (Sylar escaping and going after Claire again), others totally floored me (Isaac shooting Simone).

I'd disagree that Peter is warped from Claude's influence . . . but he is pissed off at Isaac hardcore.

Do we really know that Ando returns? Or anyone in Peter's vision of the future? Unless a comic book miracle is pulled next week, Simone is dead and she was in Peter's vision. Having said that, I don't think we've seen the last of Ando. At least I hope not!

I was screaming at Mohinder like I was watching a horror movie and he was about to enter the creepy house! With Sylar having the headaches from stealing Super-Hearing Woman's powers, and Mohinder's realization that Sylar is dogging his footsteps . . . like, Duh! But then again, I know plenty of folks in the real world who miss obvious clues all the time (like me, for instance).

Tonight's episode was totally amazing! Ted coming back into the picture with Wireless and recruiting Matt! Peter totally using and kicking ass with his absorbed powers agaist HRG and the Mysterious Haitian, and then vs. Isaac! Wow! Claire standing up to her father and almost THREATENING him! Hiro using his powers, and more imporantly, using them in an entirely new way!

Did anybody else catch that? Hiro reversed time for the gun and bullet ONLY! Time flowed normally for Skanky Lady and Fake Cop (and Ando)! Very cool!

 

[Droogie]

Did anyone catch Nathan's reference to 'LOST'?

" I would gather them all up and stick them in a lab. On an island somewhere in the middle of the ocean."

 

[Hand of Evil]

Unless Peter has the ability to heal, the future may be changed, just his display of powers. Nice to see the B-Team form.

Best one yet.

I thought this episode was great. I don't even know where to start.

I loved Claire standing up to her dad.

Matt just seems a little to easy to manipulate. I like his character though.

I thought the previews mentioned that Jessica was going to confront Nathan?.

Will post more later.

Her adoptive father, not her biological father. It's pretty obvious in the previews, IMO. She's talking about protecting the family from him.
