Oh I think the "hunted by the Govt." arc can most definitely be wrapped up in three episodes. Well, the way Heros seems to wrap up many story lines at least. By quickly starting an unrelated arc and totally disregarding the current, unresolved one.

And isn't that supposed to be Matt Parkman's partner's baby?

I agree with the review.

This show is tanking really fast. I don't even care about the characters anymore. Why doesn't Sylar kill Hunter now that he can imitate him? Why can't Parkman stop Hunter from even pointing a gun at him?I think cared about the Baby most since he was in a very unrealistic and dangerous situation for so long.

Time to find some new shows to watch.

I disagree with the review.  I actually thought this was one of the better episodes this season, I would probably give it a B- or a C.  I really liked the fact that there were two stories about people losing love. You had Hunter losing his fantasy due to Parkman revealing the truth to his girlfriend.  On the other hand you had HRG losing pretty much everything because of a domino like effect Sylar pushed.  I thought the dichotomy was pretty interesting.

I do agree that the characterization of HRG was off.  He should be smarter than getting played by Hunter the way he did, but I think I would chalk it up to him losing his marbles.  I think this was the weakest writing element of this particular episode.

I disagree with your characterization of Parkman, however. I could see him not making Hunter drop his gun; he lost Daphne, and he didn't think he had anything to live for.  He couldn't kill Hunter because he wasn't a murderer, but at the same time there was nothing left for him as far as he could see.  I really liked that after he's lost Daphne that he found something to live for in his son.  I will say that  he seems to have gotten over Daphne really quickly, though.  I think he'd be happy to find out he had a son, but I think he wouldn't be as happy... maybe he would.  Also, I wasn't sure if it was ever revealed if the kid was Matt's or not.  All we knew was that he got divorced from his wife & that he had an affair I thought.

Rob, it seems like you just don't like Heroes.  I guess that's fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion.  It's just hard to not feel like your reviews aren't coming from a biased place because you seem to always tear the show down.

To be fair I actually went & looked back at all of the reviews of Heroes this season, and I saw that you gave two B- grades to episodes back in February.  I also realized that you've been swapping review duties with Stephen.  Overall it seems to me that you guys have been pretty hard on Heroes this season.  It has been the weakest season out of all fo them so far, so I guess I can understand.  The reviews just seem really negative.  They seem to scream to me, why do you guys even review the show if you hate it so much.

What?  Daphne was killed, then brought back and now is dead again?  You are kidding right?

Parkman gets over Daphne quickly?  Well that's just how that forced relationship started in the first place.  Oh look it's a blond chick I marry in the future, I must love her now in the present.  Daphne and Parkman never worked in my opinion.  Parkman and Mohinder was a better match I feel.  They should've explored the gay couple with superpowers raising an adopted girl with superpowers.

D !?!?!  Come on.  I like alot think this season hasn't been very strong at all but this episode set up alot for the season to run out.  Why you'd feel it's odd that at the end of last week Nathan and Claire leave Mexico and are in Ohio the ep when Angela decides to call them.  the man can FLY!!! Who cares that he has to back track.  Stupid observation IMO. 

Sylar is doing to HRG what HRG has been trying to do to him for so long and it's to destroy him.  Sylar could take over the Hunter but then he has to be on guard the whole time and can't slip up, whereas with the Hunter he can let him take the fall if he gets caught or exposed.  But he wants his powers and he wants Bennett. 

And I don't think HRG blew it or crubled at the end.  There was a scuffle when the agent got shot and then he stood back to watch Sylar get up.  the Hunter just jumped in to push him by stating he's gone crazy over Sylar and he bolted.  He knows what the Hunter and his crew are capable of.....why stand around and face it.  He bolted. 

Like I said.  Not the best episode but not a D .  I'd give a B- or C . 

Yeah. This episode was weak. No action in which how the first season was so well viewed by fans! I just feel that I am just going through the motions, half paying attentions. Nothing interesting happens.

They have turned Hiro in to a bumbling joke. I saw him as a Luke Skywalker like Character. Stumbles into being a hero but later matures into someone people can inspire to. Before he would talk about what a hero would do if they were in his situation. Now he is just tripping on his shoe laces. Annoying!

At times, it feels like these reviews aren't or haven't been watching the same show. And I mean that by it seems they aren't watching all of the episodes all the way through or watching with such a negative lens that no matter if things are addressed, they find something to twist to imply that it isn't. Sylar ha sbeen in Noah's head from the first time he tried to kill Clair. It doesn't help when a psycho can now turn into the people you care about and play with your head in such a way.

And didn't Noah suggest that to Danko, why he never considered that Sylar would turn on him eventually? So obviously, that point wasn't mentioned for no reason and we will probably find out why he chose to trust Sylar when common sense says not to. And the fact he didn't bat an eyelash when Matt threaten to shoot his girlfriend and to continue this hunt intrigued me as to what is this guy's deal.

Thank You Golden Eye, and Byzzaro, You guys saved me a lot of typing.

This weeks ep was a setup ep for a faster episode. You gotta have some setup, geeze. If they didn't you would complain there is no character developement.

Couple of things about Rob's biased, snarky for the sake of being snarky review.

1. Of course Parkman can get points off on Danko...HE'S A GODDAM TELEPATH!!!!! What because Danko is a killer and an agent, he's impervious to telepathy. Parkman is a pretty powerful character in the Heroes Universe.

2. AND I'm gonna take some heat on this one...

You give Heroes consistanly lower than c grades, but you call Near Dark "Great"?

If Near Dark is Great , then Heroes is Emmy award winning

Now I only watched it for the first time 3 weeks ago, so I don't have the nostalgia love that many of you do for it. But it is Near Horrible. Almost unwatchable, I certainly won't watch it ever again. Like I said most of you love it because you watched it 20 years ago, but it's full of plot holes, and poorly acted.

Go ahead, llight into me, but re-watch it, un-biasedly it's awful. Nostalgia makes it seem better than it is for you guys. I'll point out the bullshit of it if you desire.

BTW, I'll say Near Dark is OK in a campy, bad 80's movie way, just not "Great"

And I do SO MUCH want Hiro and Ando to become what they are shown to be inthe future,

But I still watch this every week, and give this one a C Plus
