I thought it was a very good episode, but a couple things drove me crazy.

I almost got sea-sick during the taxi scene. The camera was all over the place.

In the scene with Parkman and the Prophet, the Prophet was holding his walking stick over his shoulders from one camera angle whenever he was speaking, and was holding it with one hand in the other camera angle whenever Parkman was talking. It flipped back and forth about 10 times, with each new camera angle switching the walking stick. Generally I don't worry about that kind of stuff, but this was ridiculous.

These guards sure don't seem to have any powers. I thought Nathan was building himself an army of superheroes? They all looked pretty wussy to me.

Look at text in white
Spolier (last chapter):

Remember how the pinehearst was destroyed, the formula was dumped on the ground, aka the formula to my knowledge is destroyed, and they only tested it on one soldier?

Correct me if i am wrong, but I beleive thats the situation

That is indeed correct.

I wonder why they took Hiro? He's useless to them at this point, isn't he? Or does no one know that?

I was a bit confused about that as well. Right at the beginning one of the SWAT looking guys grabbed Tracy and she tried to use her cold power on him, but it had no effect. Did his suit protect him or did he have some power or what's the deal there?

Nathan "Frying Mon" knows that Hiro has(had) power. Just told his goons to pick him up. I do not think Nathan knows Ando has powers, though.

I believe it was the suit. SUIT UP

I thought so at first two, but they purposefully changed views that quickly, so I think it was intentional. It was all in Parkman's head.

Really enjoying this season so far. Solid episode tonight. It's clear who's good and who's bad for once. Some parts remind me a lot of the first x-men movie.

KevanGuy · 02-09-2009, 11:14 PM

Oh man, that was an awesome episode. This new season has been great.

What was the last scene tonight? My PVR cut off early because Obama's speech ran late. The last I saw was "they are ready for you", who's waiting for Nathan?

Nathan went to see Tracy, who is locked up in a trailer. Words were exchanged, "change the world", "i know what i am doing" "you promised me this and that" sort of thing.

Guards put the nose tube thing on Tracy to stop her abilities. Tracy says "you are one of us" to Nathan. The guards put the bag over Tracy's head, as Nathan walks away....to be continued.

wow... this show has gotten good again. Obviously they've they have a similar story line to x-men right now, but x-men probably wasn't the first to do it either and enough twists to keep me interested.

I wonder if Hiro gets his powers back through Ando. Maybe he already has them, but needs them supercharged. Although it's a bit too much like the wonder twins for my liking, i see it happening.

Also, can't wait for Parker to go off the deep end (although he probably won't). He could do some pretty crazy stuff with his powers.

Sylar and his new apprentice is a cool idea too. Borrows a bit from star wars, but seems to work in this context.

Good call on the Star Wars thing, makes sense why I thought it was cool. Hopefully Sylar decides to teach the kid how to do things. Could make for a great match-up when the kid is ready to fight Sylar.

kinda did that Thelma & Louse thing at the end as they drove off. adn they gave each other "that" look.

a bit on the gee-eh-why side.

Jason14h · 02-10-2009, 10:20 AM

Why do they keep killing all the cute female characters! Kill friggen Ando already!

Pagal4321 · 02-11-2009, 10:35 AM

"I kill Hiro.....that means....HE IS ALIVE"

Other than that, it was a fantastic episode, although mine cut out in the end, thanks for the recap awildermode.

That was the best episode in I don't know how long.

I think it was Micah texting Claire.

ohhhh well played sir.

Hemi-Cuda · 02-16-2009, 11:51 PM

god i hope we're done with Claire for awhile. ya she's hot, but she's really irritating to watch. she's a teenage girl wolverine with no claws, she reminds me of Meg in that episode of Family Guy where they all get superpowers. just shut the hell up and let the adults run the show

other then that it was an alright episode
