Or more likely, they get back to Cali, the cops get the stolen car, take Sylar in, and he sees Claire and tries to kill her... again.

Excellent episode, imo. I loved Matt's dad, that was a really cool scene. I called it that they were fighting each other in the beginning, but still. If that's a show of whats to come for Matt's powers, than awesome. Also I liked the painting thing, but that girl is annoying me. I liked the Irish guy, though. I also really like Nathan, too.

Same.

I can't believe that I actually trusted Matt's dad at first though  :sad:​. But It is nice to know that powers aren't as limited as they seem, maybe other people's powers will grow more advanced.

Yeah, I guess I wasn't the only one to be upset when they killed Ricky.  But it was by Kristen Bell though, so I can let it go.

Speaking of, as much as I love her, I feel as though either her acting or her character did not go over well in that episode.  Hopefully it gets better from here on out.  I thought the same thing about Claire when we first met her.

It was a fun episode. I'm liking the way that they've begun doing episodes while leaving out characters- rather than cramming every single story into an episode, some characters are left out leaving other stories to be fleshed out. Like last week there was no Hiro or Peter, but you didn't miss them because there was a lot more. And this week there was no Claire or Alejandro/Sylar, but I didn't really miss them either.

Although I'm starting to get pissed with Hiro in japan. It seems like every storyline that doesn't really add anything to the main one is getting in the way.

Mat Parkman and Nathan Petrelli are a pretty badass team, and I love how so much is coming together. I really love ensemble casts but when everyone starts to come together on one central plotline it gets really good.

Same thing with Nikki from last season- if they don't hurry up and connect Hiro to the company etc I'm going to get seriously bored. Already by pulling him out of the environment that he thrives in, much of the appeal of his character is lost. He went from really cute optimistic nerd to just some dude lost in time.

They're also leaving some really BAD cliffhangers. They seem to be underestimating the audience. I mean Hiro and Kensei and get through an amry like that without even trying- Kensei could take them all on even if Hiro couldn't just stop time and let them walk right past them. Pffff.

Sucks that Mickey died. And right after I realized that he was the "his name was robert paulson" guy from Fight Club too.

you know, it never ceases to amaze me how little they can pack into forty-three minutes of programming.  it sucks that all these hour-long shows tend to follow the same path of being almost maddeningly slow-paced.  hiro does... nothing, parkman/nathan go to his dad's place and find out he's a bad guy (we knew this), and peter finds out who he is and decides to leave.  also, that black girl figures out what she can do.  that's it!  none of that is really particularly notable, really.  half of the shit is totally worthless reiteration.  it reminds me of a terry goodkind novel.  i mean i guess they are okay as far as entertainment goes, but i've never read another series of books and so often thought, "i can't believe so little was packed into 800 pages."  i'm not saying everything has to have some type of greater significance, but the past few episodes have felt very much like plain old filler.  i could see the series getting tiresome by the end of this season if it continued in such a way.

also, the hiro narration method is mad gay.  the rest was pretty good though, the nathan/parkman parts especially.  i just don't like watching a show like this and feeling like absolutely nothing happened at the end of the episode.

The thing that really annoys me about Heroes is that when someone discovers that they have a super power, they think they're a freak and have to go through the whole "I'm not normal, I hate this power" bit over and over. Like when the black chick freaked out after LEARNING TO PLAY THE PIANO IN A SECOND! I just wanted to slap her!

This episode was entertaining though, apart from the Nikki bit. She needs to die, fast. Wouldn't it be cool if Veronica Mars's dad was played by the same guy from Veronica Mars!? He was the best part of that show. Should've been named KEITH Mars!

He's probably Bob.

Although she looked like she might even be an older sister of Claire's and is working for Noah! Ohohohoho (i hope not that would be stupid)

bazookatooth is right.  Not much happens in any one episode.  Needs more action.  And the bad guys are far too vague.

Why isn't there people with powers going apeshit on the general populace?  I'm pretty sure that there would be some angst-ridden teens out there with powers, just based on the Law of Large Numbers.

***************************EDIT:*******************************

Also, there will be 3 major character deaths before January:

Not sure if they count as major, but I think Maya and Alexajndoreorosombrero will die, along with the kid, Walker, or Misty or whatever her name is.  She probably has to get back to school irl.

And while death, like low-fat food, is never a reason to cheer, the show has become too full of competing characters and storylines and it’ll be nice to see it streamlined a bit.

agreed imo

Yeah...

Also, I agree with the power thing. If I found out I could watch some Bruce Lee movies and then kick serious ass, i'd be flipping out.

I think it's fairly obvious that Alejandro will die. Not speaking English is just a bad omen for his character. Maya will be spared because she can communicate with others and because the writers will no doubt use her twin brother's death as a crucial moment for her where she will be forced to adapt and learn to control herself.

As to the other two, one of them must be Noah since that's already been shown to us in Isaac's painting, so that just leaves one more person.. I'd say Bob.

This has been the slowest episode of Heroes so far this season but it was still good... That's how good this show is.

Had some interesting things happening in Episode 5... I hate how Matt and Nathan kind of 'trusted' Parkman's dad even when he confirmed that he trapped Molly...

So is this guy really the guy who's stronger than Sylar? Seems like he couldn't do anything to nate and matt unless he took them through that door to INITIATE his dream trapping power (He just can't spontaneously summon it)..

And why the whole 'hide Peter' thing.. They knew how powerful he is and I don't think anyone can beat Pete now, not even Sylar (if he got all his powers back)

Think about it... close combat he's got Nikki's super strength power and mid-range/long-range he's got telekinesis, lightning. He's invulnerable with Claire's regeneration power... If for some reason he needs to escape, he's got flight and invisibility (which he can also use in his fight). Not to mention he's got the power to alter time from future Hiro's power.. These are I think his best powers.

So it seems Matt will eventually acquire all of his Dad's mind powers once he learns how to use it, he's already learnt how to project his thoughts onto the minds of others (he does it to Nathan to snap him out of the dream.) I wonder if it will eventually extend to full blown Mind Control because that would make them very powerful.

Professor M.

I really hope the Maya subplot goes somewhere next episode.  It's been really lame so far...
