So what else is new?

I almost hoped I'd fall asleep during this, but I wasn't putting down the tequila like them.  Maybe it would have been a better episode if I had.  I really liked last weeks, but again a new direction??? What's up with this show.

I'm thinking either the Hunter has something up his sleeve for Sylar or he has a power as well.  But I think they writer who came back is doing the best he can do to undo the mess that was made previously.  This episode was bad.  But hopefully, like Hanso said, Season 4 can start out fresh.

I've been sick to death of Sylar since the beginning of Season 2 as well.  Just kill him off and keep him dead already.  It's really repetitve how they hype him up as a God, find a way to defeat him, but keep him alive and separate from the other main characters for a while, so it can all eventually happen again.  Get rid of him and create a new, and better, main villain.

btw, we never saw the Shapeshifter touch Sylar, so he never should've been able to change himself to look like Sylar.  Sure, it was a crowded bar, so he could've brushed up against Sylar in someone else's form, but they didn't acknowledge that, so it's a plothole.

Still like the show all in all though....I guess...I'll never give up on it though;  I'm with this til the end.

Seeing Sylar was the only part I liked. I do agree the change seemed strange. However, I felt as if the Hunter was trying out HRG's suggestions but on his terms. I really get tired watching Nathan. He needs to do something interesting intead of sucking so much. Nathan likes his power, then he hates it, then he likes it again. I would be happier if the Hunter eventually broke off of the government and started going after Heroes on his own terms. I like Peter and Mrs. Pitrelli but I did not like the hype that was at the end of the last episode.

Did Nathan take Claire to get a haircut before they touched down in mexico?  I don't recall her having a xena hair cut in the previous episode.

I believe that's her real hair, Amish. They've been using a wig for her character for a while but ditched it this week. Don't recall them explaining the switch to her real hair in the episode though..

Never thought about sylar that way...

it is time for them to find a way to get peter his full power set back and make him the one to keep sylar at bay. i think that there is a lot of potential to fix the problems and move in a good direction, but the show is still good. this episode felt a lot better than most, it was nicely paced and just the right amount of character developement for a few characters.

it would be worth while to get the 'good' characters together and have them 'plan' a way to deal with sylar and the hunter. i sure hope they start closing off storylines and bring back characters that we havent seen in a while to either integrate them back in or move them off the show. it was nice seeing micah again, and i think it was great that he was rebel, but it was also a little underwhelming because we knew it was most likely him.

i am really hoping that they can manage to get the show on track and give us another great season like they did with season 1. it would be alright with me if the whole season was one major plotline building all season. just dont give us a low ball ending like season 1.

Aw CRAP!

You know a show is in trouble when a character isn't a character but a dispousable plot device.

The whole bit where Sylar and Claire can be killed in spite of their healing powers came out of the blue several episodes ago ("Just shoot him in the back of the neck!!" HRG exclaimed, as I recall).  Pretty big surprise there.  I felt this was a Deus Ex Machina by the writers so they could someday kill Sylar, and also have a modicum of dramatic tension left for Claire.  Nonetheless, it was sloppy and went against established canon.  So don't fret folks, the writers (regardless of Bryan Fuller being around now) will come up with some "out of the blue" way to off Sylar, capture Sylar, neuter Sylar, or whatever they want to do to Sylar whether or not it makes any sense whatsoever.
