Reaction on this episode....
It was good. Not great. I spoiled a lot of it for myself by watching about 10 minutes of the thing last week
I'm REALLY looking forward to next week's though!
A few things stand out:
Sylar vs. Peter. Not satisfying and over too quickly. I'll be looking forward to the rematch.
Mohinder knocking out Sylar -:... then not killing him while he had the chance. Not credible. They should have ended that some other way.
Removing glass from the head restores Peter's life: Utterly predictable - even down to who would remove the glass shard. Ah well. One man's "cliche" is another man's "iconic".
The Death of Isaac: That was interesting - not in what happened - but in how he had accepted it. The crucifixion was also some interesting imagery. I think
that in the long term will disconcert Sylar more than anything. He's not going to make it and he's going to come to
know it.
I guess the idea is that Isaac really blamed himself for Simone's death and he was done. The curse of foresight broke him in the end.
The List: How is it that Sylar - who has super memory and has seen the list - now can't remember it?
Re: Candace, Linderman and Micah: - Candace's days on earth are now numbered, and imo, so are Linderman's. I think he just made a terrible mistake. I am no longer sure that Malcolm McDowell is going to be around for season two - my bet is: only in flashbacks. He just screwed with the wrong lady.
My guess is that Micah is to screw with the electoral vote counting software to ensure that Nathan gets elected. To do that - he has to be in NYC. That is going to bring Jessica/Nikki and DL to the scene as the tow halves are united in purpose and DL gets vengeful.
I also happen to think that Linderman knows that - and doesn't care. The man is extremely arrogant. Almost like he thought of himself as Magneto...or saw himself in a picture in the future that he thinks is his get out of jail free card.
Hiro meets Hiro: Now that was cool. The timelines and the play on the imagery of the origami display with Charlie was a neat parallel. Good set direction there. Ando with a gun!
Peter Resurrected: Anyone notice how Milo flipped his hair back to the other side after he resurrected?
HRG, Parkman and Ted: Out of everything that happened, that was actually the most interesting I thought. But you have to wonder what HRG is doing bringing Ted to NYC. It's not as if he doesn't KNOW. He does. What is he thinking?
