Heroes

I was very happy with this episode, they dodged the stalker cliche but I have doubts that claire will become involved with her. Rather I think invisi-bitch is going to get claire's roomate killed.

[Cyrrex]

Wasn't invisi-bitch essentially told to cease and desist on the Claire front once they had Sylar? 

[Lakov_Sanite]

That part seemed overly vague but I don't think she was supposed to stop, maybe just not try so hard? I think the carnies are always looking for more people but sylar gets the special seat.


Am I wrong in assuming the whole carnival can teleport wherever?

I believe that was the old guy with the oxygen tank, he has Hiros power but is on his last legs.

[DLRiley]

Holy shit. Old man geezer can teleport an entire carnival? I thought it was earth bender boy who moved it lol. Anyway lesbian moment was  , Claire is defiantly edible. I need more girls who like exactly like her in real life.

Claire's just too short and stocky for my tastes even though she is cute.

[DLRiley]

I'll take short and stocky over tall and skinny any day of the week. Seeing her pick up that book was  .

[NowhereMan]

I get the feeling that they're falling into the trap of too many separate plots going on at once again. I can just about follow them but it feels really cluttered and they keep switching back and forth between them like they're terrified that viewers are going to lose interest following the same character for more than 5 minutes. I don't expect them to ditch all the sub-plots and make everyone a superhero team but I'm getting somewhat tired of the season arc pattern being, "Everyone is off doing totally separate and unconnected things until a couple of large events cause them all to meet up and join forces to defeat *insert whoever's evil here*. It's not as bad as it was at it's worst and none of the characters (save whiny Parkman, which is a shame cause I like Parkman's character) are too insufferable but not every character needs their own separate plotline.

[DLRiley]

They are defiantly returning to season 1 style plot. The other two seasons were painfully having them "team up" but with badly defined reasons for being together all the while having separate and interconnected plot lines that are jerry rigged together. This returns to slow mundane "every day life" that eventually comes to a screeching halt somewhere down the line.

[HaemishM]

I find myself overly bored with Heroes. It isn't shitty enough to quit, but I'm finding little reason to watch. The chick who can see sounds as colors (henceforth referred to as Dazzler) is puzzling. I can't figure out how she fits in. The CGI effect is cool, but meh. I did like the romantic vibe I was getting from Peter and her - he deserves to get a bit of action. He's been the most interesting of the returning characters. Carnie guy is cool, but I still can't figure out how he impacts the whole thing. Hopefully with Sylar in the carnie now, they can ditch the setup and get to the ass-whoopings.

Also, I knew about the lesbo kiss going in - not that hot. It was actually treated pretty well.

[Lakov_Sanite]

All of claire's bits last week had sort of a buffy vibe to them which I really liked.  I think while parkman is a whiny bitch i like carnie guy less, mostly because he seems to be more of the stereotypical cult leader type.

[voodoolily]

The thing is though, I just feel like they're going to shoehorn a shitty stalker subplot onto claire added to unrequited infatuation. The main girl just CANT be a lesbian but this creepy dyke will no doubt come in and be evilllllll. At least that's what i see coming.

Otherwise, a solid episode I thought.

Edit: I believe claire's friend is rather cute and could be a sweet love interest, im saying the writers are going to portray her as 'creepy dyke stalker' and this pisses me off.

Nevermore's link sort of spoilers us to the fact that Gretchen is  I think this season is fine, but I'm not as much a stickler as you guys. I don't think I ever hated a season, but this one seems better than the last, for sure.

[Lakov_Sanite]

Still liking it, they seem to be taking a very x-men route of things now. bennet = prof.x, carnie=magneto?

Parkman proves he is a bigger dumbass than mohinder or peter combined but hey...sylar is still awesome.

[CmdrSlack]

What I like about Parkman in this episode is that he seems to really not understand his powers/the whole "sylar in the head" thing. He's not as whiny, but makes a dumbass move that fucks him over in the end.

What I do wonder is what is the Carnie's power?

[Cyrrex]

Carnie guy seems to have some form of earth moving telekinesis.  Not sure why it would only be limited to earth-type stuff, but it seems that way...has he moved anything that wasn't dirt?

He did move the entire carnival (or hid it), so I'm not sure how that fits in.

[CmdrSlack]

I thought he also had some kind of paint/ink moving thing as well . . . I know there's scenes where he does it to people besides tattooed power-finding chick.

[Cyrrex]

Right, forgot.  His powers seem oddly unspecific.

[Lakov_Sanite]

The ink is easily explained by saying it's soil-based or somesuch and as far as carnivalportation, my friend says it's the old guy with hiro's powers that is doing that. I'm going with next week, hiro won't change his own past but what will change is that instead of dying, sylar actually gets the tumor out of charlie. Past hiro still sees her on the floor bleeding and assumes she died, and since sylar never used charlie's powers there's no plothole to clear up.  The only question is how hirp will convince sylar to save her.

[ahoythematey]

Oh god, is Mohinder coming back?

[Threash]

Oh god, is Mohinder coming back?

I loved that even Sylar made fun of him with his offhand "hes probably off working on his fathers research somewhere".

[Signe]

I thought all this time that the ink thing was that woman's ability.  Now I don't know or have forgot what she does!   

[Cyrrex]

The ink thing is at least partly her ability, because she explains the results to him.  I'm not at all clear on where the line is drawn between their abilities, or even what those abilities are.  I don't think we're supposed to know...they usually go out of their way to make sure we understand what people's different abilities are.

[HaemishM]

The Carnie guy is definitely shaping up to be Magneto. The scene of him destroying the cop shop last night was good. The last few weeks have gotten much better, to the point where I want to watch it again. I even liked Claire's story, though the "will she won't she be a lesbian/bisexual" thing is such obvious audience titillation.

[Cyrrex]

though the "will she won't she be a lesbian/bisexual" thing is such obvious audience titillation.

It is obvious, and yet appreciated.

I like this season so far.  Season 1 is gone forever, but hopefully 2 and 3 are as well (though I thought 2 was okay).

[Lakov_Sanite]

It may be for the audience but it does seem natural for claire to be confused considering most of her teenage life has been spent dealing with powers and conspiracies, not with relationships. If she would have flat out said yes or no that would have made less sense.

[HaemishM]

It's not the relationship thing I'm questioning, it's the whether or not I like girls thing. She's had boyfriends but not sex. I thought maybe she'd have figured out whether or not she likes girls by now. It kind of falls into that whole male fantasy stereotype that all girls had a lesbian experience in college (hot!).

[Cyrrex]

I don't know, it somehow doesn't seem to far fetched in her case.  I don't think she'll ultimately discover her inner lesbianism, but she might explore the possibility a bit.  After all, it is rare that she gets to connect and open up with anybody outside of HRG, so she'll be attracted to Gretchen for that reason alone.

Also, we all know Gretchen is going to end up on a meat hook or something.

Its a college thing, most girls are one hot roomate and a wine cooler away from hot lesbo action for those four years.

[Lakov_Sanite]

FFFFFFFF UUUUUUUUU

You dirty carnie fuck, it's not bad enough you kidnap charlie...and god help you if anything happens to her...but even WORSE you want to bring mohinder back to life?!

 




Solid episode though, enjoyed throughout.

[Bunk]

Normally, I think the whole side plot with Bennett and Elizabeth Rohm would have been derided as being pointless, but I liked here. I think it just comes down to the fact that Bennett is the most compelling character on the show, and I just like seeing plotlines with him.

I kept waiting for bambi-eyed guidance counseler/waitress girls head to explode at some point throughout the episode.

[Xuri]

What DID happen to Hiro's sword? I've forgot.

[Nerf]

I just want him to save Hatori Hanzo damnit.

[ahoythematey]

Welp, that's the show then.  It was getting better, but here comes Mohinder.  I'm sure the next episode will be nothing but a Mohinder and Parkman bitchy bullshit extravaganza.

I think Ando has the broken sword...

[Lakov_Sanite]

Parkman is going to be  if the preview is any indication.
