Yeah, when saw that, I said “All the girl fans go ‘squeee!’” and my wife and son looked at me kinda funny.
Good point about Adam, though… they’re not really strong on their continuity. Then again, maybe an instance of time travel has changed the time stream so that this eclipse turned the powers off, while all previous eclipses have turned them on.
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
yeah but theoretically his powers came back…so yeah I got nothing
In case it wasn’t abundantly clear, my recap was tongue in cheek. You know, a big fat lie. Although some of it was actually wishful thinking.
Yeah, we got that (or at least most of us did), and it was amusing and all, but could you maybe humor some of us with an accurate description of the final minutes of the episode, please?
So, an episode or two from now we may get an answer to the question, “just how long does it take to regenerate back from a pile of ash?”
I saw the kiss in previews, but my DVR cut out before that even happened.
So, while I know that Tim Kring’s super power is failure to see the possibilites of the situations that he’s set up, so the comic book store would totally not happen, Sylar, HRG, and Claire all suffering from potentially fatal gunshot wounds is not entirely impossible.
I don’t want to jump to conclusions here, but from the looks of next week’s episode the theme seems to be ‘Having a gun is like being a superhero!’ (I’m kidding, I’m kidding). Still, too obvious not to note.
It kind of reminds me of Hand Grenade Man from The Tick. “I don’t need super powers- I’ve got a HAND GRENADE!”
Last four minutes - okay, testing my old memory here. Claire started bleeding again, she may be in a hospital now, Noah went off to shoot Sylar, Elle put Sylar’s shoulder back in place while he whined piteously, Noah was sighting his gun at Sylar, but we didn’t see any shot, Matt saw Daphne and she has braces on her legs now, Nathan got cold-cocked by a rifle butt in the Haitian jungle, and Hiro and Ando met Seth Green and Breckin Meyer at a comic book store where things got all meta with Seth and Breckin recognizing Hiro and Ando from the comic they were holding.
Hey, I figured out that we’re going to see a whole lot more of Usutu - he was always talking about spirit walking, and now he’s a spirit, and he’s walking.
I hope so. I really like Usutu and especially his voice.
A wizard did it.
Annie, you rock! 
De nada, dude!
After watching this episode, I’ve come to realise that I actively dislike almost all the characters.
I like Noah.
And… I guess that’s about it.
I like Hiro and Ando. I like looking at many of the other characters. I kinda like Ambiguously Evil Mom (she’s got more balls than all her sons put together).
“It is your spirit walk, PacMan.” 
I only really like Nathan and Noah by now - sucks to be me in this regard as it is abundantly clear that the writers haven’t got a clue with what to do with these characters and so they are just sort of hanging around. You can almost see the thinking - Adrian Pasdar and Jack Coleman are two of the best actors on the show so getting rid of them seems dumb but meanwhile they’re the equivalent of that big ball of string in the kitchen drawer that’s bound to come in handy one day. I desperately hope they kill Claire next week but I fear Heroes is just cruelly taunting me with false hope. Strange because she was actually pretty likeable back in season 1 - why’d they have to make her into such a smug little brat?
In general, nutty madeup science aside, I thought this episode was actually pretty exciting and way better than the last few eps. Glaring exceptions being the scene with Sylar and Elle in the bank. Wait, now she wants him Eeeevil again? Why?? Elle now seems a totally different person not only from episode to episode but actually scene to scene. I have absolutely no sense of who she is as any kind of coherent character. Shame, because after a somewhat shaky introduction, she was once shaping up to be a fun character.
Oh I forgot - I like Angela too! I loved her “oh I am watching you, bitch” face she pulled at Tracy.
I think it would be a good idea, story-wise, to have Claire die, even if she eventually recovers in some later season or even a few episodes later; it would give Noah a push over the edge so we could see more of the Company Man kicking butt and taking names. But Hayden P. has developed into one of the nicer bits of eye candy for me on the show (check out how she works those stairs leading up to the house this episode…rwooooar!) so I wouldn’t mind her running around a bit more, so long as she either (a) really does learn to fight and gets tougher or (b) just stops whining about how she wants to fight bad guys so much.
I think it’s actually part of her character; she’s mentally unbalanced. She seems up and down, compliant then defiant, because she had an abnormal upbringing and severe psychological trauma in her life. I dated a chick like that for a little while. That being said, she’s probably the LAST person that Gabriel/Sylar needs if he was ever hoping to reform; she just magnifies his own problems.
The problem with such a character as presented on a tv show is it means you stop regarding anything she ever says as being in any sense meaningful or lasting. To take a very small example, if one week she says how much she appreciates Claire helping her and showing grief at leaving her behind but the very next time they see each other she’s gloating over kicking Claire’s ass, it makes those past scenes meaningless.
I acknowledge opinion can (and obviously does) vary on this one but to me this doesn’t suggest ‘complex, conflicted young woman’, it screams ‘shit writing’.
Word.
I can’t even count the times where Elle has gone from concerned, caring, conflicted girl to psychopathic sadist and back again. She is the epitome of Heroes shitty writing, which is too bad because she’s cute.
