oh and the continued grey of HRG's motives was a good choice. it leaves us w/ questions not answers, as i've learned this season during Lost, i prefer questions. didn't know that about myself before, thanks Lost :)

It's episodes like these that make me wonder if they should just kill off a few of the principles, Sylar, etc. and just keep it to a 5 or 6 principle cast; since it always works better with a smaller cast. Keep HRG though, since he's always the best part of the show. Mohinder could go though.
I remember someone saying on one of these a few weeks ago that either Hayden or Ali Larter want off the show. I can obviously see either of them wanting off, but anyone have any more scoop about that? I'm guessing Hayden since she seems to have a real upstarting career ahead of her (at the moment).
oh, and I realise that most have brought up that it would be better with a smaller cast way before I just said it...I should've put in a "I'm on board with that" or something.
Am I the only one seeing this season as being a retread of season one, except with the government in place of the Company?
BORING!! Seriously, can we have an actual coherent storyline that DOESN'T involve saving the world? First it was save the cheerleader, save the world. Okay, that's been done. Then it was stop Nathan from blabbing and save the world. Okay, partially done that. Now we have stop Parkman and save D.C.?!?
This has gotten real old. It's like an old magician that insists on showing you a card trick with a card deck consisting of one card, except the magician has Alzheimer's, forgets that he has showed you the trick, and wants to show it to you again, and again, and again....
Let's put it this way, when Two and a Half Men has a more complex story plot for the week than Heroes does, it's time to pull the plug. When I find that doing the dishes is preferable to watching Heroes, the writing needs to change drastically. I'm running out of analogies so I just say this, Heroes is still struggling as far as I'm concerned. There hasn't been any improvement, and there really hasn't been that much plot (if there is one) advancement. Maybe once Loeb's episodes are burned off, but I'm not holding out much hope.
Oh, and ripum853, Larter wants off the show.
Oh that's good because I want Larter off the show too. True, she's damn hot! But, all three (or however many it is) characters have been boring and annoying as hell.
Couple questions about this episode:
1) Is Peter now able to "control" his new absorbing powers power? I mean, when they were in the plane, he absorbed someone's power just by touching them. He didn't seem to have any control over this (sort like how Rogue doesn't control her power in X-Men. If she touches someone, then it's absorbed.)
2) If Peter's power only allows him to have one power at a time, then how was he able to fly Parkman away? Parkman is not a small dude. Last time I checked, Peter hadn't absorbed any super-strength for anyone recently.
3) Going back to question one again, assuming Peter has no control over his absorbing power (like Rogue), How was he able to fly Parkman away. The second he toched the guy, Peter would have absorbed Parkman's mind-powers and the two of them would have come crashing back to the Earth.
Those questions aside the episode was much better than in weeks passed. No annoying Claire, no annoying Tracy/Nikki/Jessica/Whatever the fuck, and NO ANNOYING HIRO!!!
Definitely the best episode they've had this season. Best as usual being an HRG episode. You ever notice he eemsto be the ony one the writers trust with a full fortyt five minute more or less uniterrupted script. Every other episode seems like two minutes of Claitre, two minutes of Hiro, two minutes of Sylar, then back to Claire, and Sylar again and Hiro. And it just doesn't seem like anything moves forward not the stories or the characters. With an HRG ep you get a full forty five minutes with one tory arc through one characters perspective. They could and should do the whole seris like that. They could do the whole thig through the lene of HRG's inveestigations and intrigues and it would be a much cooler series. we've seen that potential in Company Man and we've see it here too.
I'm still a fan becasue I'm holding out hope until ep19 when Bryan Fuller took over the writing. But looking at this ep I am still seeing the issue they had with Jeph Loeb working there. No logic. It's like everyone in the room just forgot about all of the "rules" they have developed and then seem to break each show. Still nice to have somewhat of a cohesive story for a change this season. Good Luck Mr. Fuller you are going to need it!
Good
-devious HRG
-Peter with a purpose
-no unecessary extra characters
-angry Matt
Bad
-Mohinder/Matt
-angry Matt
-leaps in logic (peter's flying power)
-Claire... even when she's not in an ep she still kills the show!
redhairs99 to answer your questions...
1) No I don't think so.
2) Because Jeph Loeb is an idiot.
3) No really because Jeph Loeb is an idiot!
It's simple create the "rules" of the show and STICK WITH THEM!
PS... Jeph Loeb is an idiot!
i think the answer to the power absorption is skin-skin contact and unless Parkman was gently nuzzling Peter during their flight they'd be just fine
i'd give this one a solid B, it improved over last weeks ep so i give it a bump up. I have to agree that this splinter effect of the plots is working out well. a handful an episode is a great way to keep things fresh and add some needed anticipation to what comes the following week.
