HEROES is back!

[OzzyKP]

meh?

I thought it was a good ending. We learn HRG's name. Nathan is truly a hero. And Hiro's dad is in feudal Japan!

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Yeah, meh.

Spoiler:

1. The big fight, well, wasn't. At all. Even a little.

2. I assume Peter is fine. Nathan's fate is now a no-win situation. If he lives, it cheapens the entire sacrifice-change of heart angle they were playing up. If he dies, it just makes him look stupid since there was an easy solution (fly up, drop Peter, and fly away before he goes off.)

3. Oh God the cheese. Love is all you need, apparently.

4. Nobody notices the mortally wounded serial killer crawling down a sewer drain? Or, you know, does anything about it?

5. Yay, they traded a ground-level nuke for an air burst nuke. Muuuuuuuuuuch better.

6. The big fight, well, wasn't.

7. Candice, getting knocked out, reverts to her true shape of...Candice? What's with all the hint-dropping about her not actually being as we've seen her? (They were hints confirmed by the writers, so people weren't just inventing things.)

8. Love, apparently, is going around, especially among ten year olds.

9. And of course, the one that I thought was biggest but forgot about until now: What happened to Hiro not being able to change events? They spent more than an episode establishing that he doesn't have the power to save Charlie. Why does he suddenly have the power to stop the explosion?

On the other hand, I do think Hiro's trip is going to be good.

Abso-****ing-lootly incredible!

Wonderful twist.

Great final episode. Showed just how powerful Sylar was (Peter seemed to be no match for him without the other heroes around). And Sylar seems to have survived by crawling into the manhole cover.

Seems Nathan is dead and gone. Peter will survive the blast and fall (unless Nathan went so high up that neither could really breathe... but I think they'll bring Peter back). It's Noah Bennet. Parkman is gone (no Linderman to save him... if he even wanted to). DL... I'm not sure. I think that was left up in the air.

Hiro looks like he's going to have an interesting time finding out about his ancestor. I think Volume 2 was called "Generations" for a reason and we'll find out about the history of the heroes. And perhaps the ancestor of others as well.

AND Molly hints at someone WORSE than Sylar!!

[Apocalypse]

I can't wait to watch this.

I wish I had a TV.

Couldn't Peter just fly away without Nathan?

I agree with Koy, why didn't anyone notice Sylar crawling away? Plus, I think that it's rather cheap writing to keep Sylar alive. Ooh, he's still alive. Who cares? There's a bigger bad guy out there, and Sylar wasn't all the great to begin with. He'll return as a lame secondary character, most likely to be killed by the next bad guy.

My brother, who is much more into the show than I, said Peter can't do anything when he's about to explode, because it overwhelms his other powers.

What are you crazy? Sylar is waaaay too good of an evil character to be killed off so soon.

Yeah, you have a bigger bad guy, but no one knows who he is or what he can do. He may not even be revealed until midway through next season, and maybe in snippets. Sylar is a great villain to keep in the foreground, with the bigger baddie in the background biding his time.

I think Imran is the cheerleader that they were supposed to save.

[Guynemer]

I think Sylar got Claude (the invisible man) at some point: the way he disappeared from the FBI agent last week, the way he appeared behind Noah(!) and Peter this week, and the way he disappeared down the sewer.

[Japher]

I wouldn't count anything out.

what was up with Peter and the black cripple dude seeing him? Was he dreaming or time traveling or both?

Very good episode, it will definitly hold me over until next season. I like that this show keeps me hanging on, that 30-minutes into an episode I am pleasantly surprised to discover that they have made it a one-hour show, and that while they keep you hanging they actually explain things in a rather acceptable time frame.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Maybe Mr. Deveroix (sp?) had some power that allows Peter to find him while time traveling/dreaming.

[Solver]

Good that Sylar survived, but him getting stabbed in the first place was silly. Peter, with a dozen powers, is no match for Sylar, he can stop bullets while concentrating on choking Peter, but he does get stabbed.

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Yeah, I agree, though I was willing to cut them a bit of slack because Hiro could have stopped time...he just didn't appear to.

THat was my assumption as well. If he is so out of control that is is going to explode, its understandable that perhaps he can't concentrate and fly
