Heroes

Peach pie is the best pie.
 
Good episode, better than those wev'e had so far, although it did feel a bit look much like "Hey, remember how aersome season 1 was? It was pretty awesome, yeah. OH WELL NEXT WEEK BACK TO SEASON THREE WHERE NOTHING MAKES ANY GOD DAMN SENSE."

But Sylar was cool and Elle was super cool.
 
I thought in season one when Nathan met Linderman it was the first time they'd ever met, but they had already met here...maybe I'm remembering wrong and using the word "met" too much.

The whole episode seemed to exist to retcon a lot of stuff from season one, though I suppose since it's supposed to be like a comic that's okay...

It was a better episode because it was more focused on character stuff, though it made Noah seem really evil. Elle's sympathetic characterisation here also seems completely contradictory to how she was in season two where she tortured Peter for months and casually murdered that Irish guy looking for him. Maybe there will be another flashback explaining that the irish guy molested her or something.

STILL not buying the "Sylar was good all along!" stuff though. Didn't he killed Mohinder's dad (WHO HAD NO POWERS) before this episode would have been set? How do they explain that?

Yes, another long lost relative but I don't really care as much when it's more minor characters. I don't understand why Eric Roberts let Meredith go. Maybe there'll be another flashback explaining that he too had a child taken from him or something.

They still didn't explain why Angela was shoplifting when we first saw her in season one either.
 
Eric Roberts (Thomson) let Meredith go because he realised that she was only a shoplifting chav living in a trailer park because she thought baby Claire had died in a fire, when in fact, Thomson, Sulu and the Company had given Claire to Noah. I forget exactly why they did that, maybe they thought Meredith had died instead. Anyway, Thomson was feeling remorseful.

Sylar killed Chandra Suresh to get his list of people with powers (which is presumably how he made his map that he was chucking away). He didn't just kill Chandra for the fun of it. I agree they're twisting the facts a bit here, but it's not totally inconceivable that Sylar would feel bad for killing people, but then go right back to it when the one person he trusted turned out to be a lying weirdo who brought round people for him to chop up.

I didn't Elle had been allowed out in the field this early, I'm sure they said she'd been in the Company facility most of her life (which was why she tortured Peter), but maybe I'm wrong. I suppose they'll say she turned evil because she got pissed off at the way the Company treated Sylar.
 
"I accidentally set my grandmother's house on fire when I was six. Caused a blackout in four counties in Ohio when I was eight. I spent my ninth birthday in a glass room with an IV of lithium in my arm. I've lived in this building for sixteen years, ever since the shrinks diagnosed me as a sociopath with paranoid delusions. But they’re just out to get me, 'cause I threatened to kill them. I'm twenty-four years old and I've never gone on a date. Never been on a roller-coaster. Never been swimming. And now you know everything there is to know about me. I don't have the luxury of being more interesting than that."

- Elle (to Peter) (Four Months Ago...)
 
Well that's just stupid. You'd think the actress at least would've remembered saying that and pointed it out to them. The thing is, they could've explained it away by saying she was being let out this one time on a trial period or something, but they didn't even bother to do that.
 
Someone on IMDB said they should have used Eden (remember her?) for Elle's part in this episode.
 
Maybe all that happened to Elle in a different time line.
 
YEAH, MAYBE.
 
Yeah, using Eden might've been a good idea. I know it won't make any sense, but I hope they'll at least attempt to explain this one.
 
Also the redneck guy said he was "tackled by an invisible man" so you're supposed to think it was Claude be he left the Company years before.
 
Heroes 3x9 "It's Coming"

Rubbish title. Some things didn't make sense (why did the gas switch itself off after the fire? How did Knox and fireguy know they were there anyway?), but I loved the direction and editing. Some shots were downright animéish. Very snazzy indeed.

The stuff with Hiro was lame and had me shaking my head, but I suppose it appeals to some people. Why Arthur would make Hiro think he's 10 is beyond me, though. Just removing his memories of the last two years should have been enough. Unless Arthur wanted to erase Hiro's memory of Claire being given to Noah by Kaito, which he bore witness to at around 10 years old. Pointless, really, though, since tons of characters know about that already.

Glad to see they've remembered the eclipse. I was half expecting Mohinder to reveal the powers were alien in origin, but he stopped explaining when it got to the bit about the catalyst.
 
It was an ok episode.

The problem with this eclipse thing is, they won't have their powers for an episode or two, then just get them back, with perhaps one or two people dieing.
 
The problem with Heroes right now is that it has about 20 different story lines going on right now, none of which I particularly care about.

At least by the end of the episode they've seemed to group the characters up a bit more, so we're not constantly going between Hiro and Ando/Nathan and not-Nikki/Claire and Peter/Whatever Sylar's up to/I guess Noah's still doing something/Parkman and whatsherface/EVIL DAD PATRELLI/Mohinder doing science/those two evil guys EVERY EPISODE, leaving with each story about a quarter the time you need to actually care about what's happeneing in it.
 
Who did Parkman leave Molly Walker with while he is off doing stuff?
 
THey didn't say, just that she was off somewhere "safe". Would be funny if it was his ex-wife, but they've forgotten about her (and his REAL kid).
 
I hope they aren't going to say the eclipse is responsible for their powers...since I'm pretty sure most of them already had their powers before the eclipse in season one (especiallY if you consider flashback episodes.) How come Mohinder was crazy and living like a fly a few weeks ago but now he can function normally in the lab?

Is Speedster ACTUALLY good and "in love" with Matt now or is it some fucking scam again? Where WAS she before that was so bad? Running in a giant hamster wheel to provide power for a doomsday device? She's cute anyway.

Claire and Peter sometimes don't seem like a niece and uncle, if you know what I mean (incest.)

Tracey suddenly going over to Arthur made little sense since she's been "good" up to this point and she doesnt' even know what he's planning. In fact, what the fuck is he planning? Giving everyone powers to stop the world ending or something? Only giving powers to "evil" people? WHAT?!


I hate that "comedy" music they play during every Hiro scene.

The Sylar/Elle scenes were the best part despite all the ret-conning and character rape.
 
Yeah, I thought it was pretty fucked up that Tracy would just switch over to Arthur like that. I don't like unexplained character changes!

Didn't surprise me at all. Especially since she mentioned she was a consultant for Pinehearst for over a year, And also being a sibling of Nikki she is somewhat genetically predisposed.
 
What do any of them even think Arthur is doing anyway? He just says vague shit about "saving the world" but all villains do now.
