Season 1 is such a distant blur

I really liked the scene of Hiro transporting Adam in and out of the coffin. I think there were some missed opportunities for some comedy.

Well, at least the writers decided to go for a bit of comedy to break up the overbearing apocalyptical tone this show has been burdened with this season. The second half was better than the first half, and finally given the viewers some traction into the players in this drama.

So all of the good characters have gone bad, and all the bad characters have gone good, all at the same time. Whoa, genius, freakin' masterpiece!

I'm so sick and tired of the 'Claire doesn't trust Noah' crap. Make that one full, and a half of one, seasons and a fourth of a season in, and that relationship hasn't grown a damn bit.

She's the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks... um... er... wrong family.

His TV family?

No clue. I just assumed they were alienated from him after he went "nuts."

This season has been rocky, but this was probably my favorite episode. The first voice over intro was weird, especially when the narrator called Noah "HRG." It works on message boards, not so much in speech.

Yeah, the "HRG" was ridiculous. Haven't they pulled that once before? Also, Vortex Man would have been a great way to get rid of some characters, but instead we have what happened.

Spoiler:
Pretty entertaining episode, but I don't hold it to the high standard some folks on here do. I'm intrigued with Pa Petrelli and Parkman's dad. Also, a bit of a WTH with Ando. Also, too bad Maya and and Suresh didn't go off together, and what was going on with Nathan/Ali Larter/Peter? Are they all toast, and who was that in the hallway?

According to the previews at the end, next week Heroes is going to blur the lines between who's a hero and who's a villain...

Opps. Sorry, should I have spoilered that?

Well, I liked it. Certainly was better than the last four episodes.

That was lame calling him HRG in the intro. Trying a little too hard to be hip.

It would have been funny if they pronounced HRG as "Herg". That would have made me LOL.

It was an alright ep. I LOVE that Hiro getting punched is a regular thing in the series.

Puppet master looks decent.
I like the vortex guy.....and then he is gone.

Overall a very below average episode, just like this season.

But do you mean to tell me that Sylar can't hear HRG, Claire and vortex guy talk? WTF? Doesn't Sylar have super hearing? I mean shit, how inconsistent can we get here?

Ummm can't Hiro just go back in time before Adam escaped?

And Hiro stabbing Ando, I mean come on here, are we really in a position to be shocked here? Hell no. With Claire's blood able to heal people and Hiro able to go back in time, nothing is for sure.

This show has absolutely no wow or shock value left.

The ONLY redeeming part is Sylar talking with Claire and him driving a wedge between her and HRG.

I'm done. This show has gone beyond stupid to frankly irritating. This season they haven't even tried to be true to the characters, and Hiro killing Ando is the final straw. It may or may not (I wouldn't put anything past this writing) be some kind of trick to get into the "villain club"—I don't care anymore at this point. When you are wishing death on every character (except Ando, ironically), it's time to call it quits.

I seem to remember a bit with him seeing his kids at the school in season 2 when he was still seeing himself in the mirror half burned. I'm sure those characters are written out of the story now though.

I wish they would have made better use of Bubbles. Maybe it was because of past roles, but I was more drawn into him then into a lot of the other new characters. Naturally, he doesn't last long. At least Marlo seems to be sticking around for a while.

I cracked up at Hiro's comment about the "cantina".
