Hey I thought it was a good episode. :)
Summary:
[spoilers]
- Feudal saga is over. Hiro blows up NPH, but obviously he has regenerative abilities. I expected him to still be alive, but the ending still surprised me (read on)
- Parkman's storyline with the Boogey man is over, it seems. Looks like Parkman's powers are like his fathers' , though I have no idea what it is exactly
- Peter's visit to the future ends abruptly, separated from his love interest. Very curious how this will be resolved. If they change the present the altered future cannot be accessed by time travel any more
- NPH, supposed to be alive, manages to live until the present. Looks like those who argued he is Linderman are wrong.
[/spoilers]
NPH = Neil Patrick Harris. Think about it.
Ending of that episode caught me off guard and was, admittedly, kickass.
(SPOILER)- Peter's failure to bring Caitlin back with him was an interesting twist. I'm sure he'll still save her somehow, and chances are she has latent powers, but for now I'm content to think she's been consigned to a doomed future.
- Adam Munroe = Takezo Kensei = win on a grand scale, tbh. However it was too quick and unsubtle a tie-in with the end of the feudal arc. Would have been best in two, three episodes time.
- Episode was significantly better and more controlled than the last one. I didn't feel like we were jumping between characters too much and every time a new scene came up it was one I cared about.
- Future wasn't given enough exposition. Too many things were taken for granted, cf., why would they be deporting foreigners? Useful plot point for seperating Peter and Caitlin, but in practise if something killed 93% of Earth's population nationalities would cease being relevant. Moreover, the inevitably limited resources would not be used to ferry someone across the ocean. Whatever is left of the infrastructure would be needed entirely to move remaining military, political, and survival personnel/equipment.
- Some general shortcomings/lack of thought on the writers' parts. I dunno about anyone else, but if someone asked me "Even with your powers what can you do against an army?" I wouldn't wait until nightfall and then teleport 30 feet. Noah... does Noah just keep that picture as his background or screensaver or something? I know it's something he's obsessing over, but it's just rough around the edges, the way they do it. Anyone could just glance at his screen and see it.
- Can't wait for Mohinder to blow Noah away.
The episode was pretty awesome the only major thing that ruined it for me ait was bratty Claire (oh how she lost some major points lol!) That ending was pretty good lol cant wait for next week lol!
Claire needs to DIE. Just die until she's dead.
Also, West is creepy. Creepy in that psycho-stalker, whacked in the head sort of way.
West sucks, but this was a good episode. Perhaps the last good one. No writers = bad TV.
Yes, probably the last good one. Adam Munroe ftw.

Hello. Claire.
I've brought Waffles for you, Claire.
Won't you try some of my waffles, Claire?
I've been watching you, Claire.
I want to be with you Claire.
West is a freak!
:laugh:
Here's an interesting interview with Tim Kring:
''Heroes'' creator to fans: I'm super sorry | Heroes | TV News | TV | Entertainment Weekly
Great. One less show to worry about.
I wonder what will happen with Heroes? With the Writers Guild strike they won't be able to create new scripts/story lines, as far as I know, but they do have the story set for the 11 episodes of this season. I guess we will have to put up with the story writing until WGA strike is over.
Though I have no idea what the problem with the show is. My only complaint is that they are sort of rehashing the first season with the 'disaster in the future' story. I guess since they have time travelers in the storyline, this can't be helped, but sheesh.
