Alright, I'm going to call it now... best Heroes episode to date. Yes, even better than Company Man, Five Years Gone, and Cautionary Tales.

Still sad to see Elle go. Dammit Sylar! Why go evil again?!? You're a one trick pony, aren't 'ya? Still, I'm holding out for you, because mommy issues are always tough to get over and I still believe you can do it. Yes, I like my fictional conversations with fictional characters. Leave me alone.

That is an interesting theory. I wonder if Claire still does have the catalyst. I'm scared that once the Haitian leaves, Mohinder is going to remove the bullet and he will be able to heal again. Oh wait, he can't because his powers left him. Yay, Arthur is as good as dead! Oh, Nathan and Tracy, you two have issues. Let's not even get started there. I'm starting to like Daphne more and more, and I like how Matt is hesitating less when using his powers.

Red Lightning here we come! But will it prove to be a good thing for Ando?

Future Claire was a few feet away from a Nuclear explosion but still survived. So no, I don't think the people here are dumber than the people in the show.

Also, this episode was pretty good :lol :lol (but not in the Company Man way)

Peter WAS a nuclear explosion and survived.

 

[yodandy]

Doesn't Claire still have the catalyst in her? I mean they removed the one from that timeline but Claire comes back to the present and still has the catalyst in her.

Now there are freakin 2 catalysts, one in the vat, one in different future claire, who ... went into the past to make sure her future self doesnt get the catalyst she already has *head explodes*

that would mean claire with catalyst would straight up disappear, which we havent witnessed yet...wait, i wonder where arthur transported her at the last scene there?

REQUEST: previews for next week, freakin DVR cut out

I don't think that's the case. As we saw in season one where Peter did save Claire, the future was still all the same. Changing something from a certain timeline only affects that timeline. In the preview it shows that

Spoiler

Big Boss sent Claire back to the present to Angela

. Concerning Big Boss regenerating, he's technically suppose to if someone takes out the bullet. Haitian leaves, powers come back, bullet out, regen. I thought the swooshy thing coming out was only the catalyst leaving him? Anyways they'll most likely ignore all this and leave him dead :lol .

 

[black_13]

Man someone make a gif out of the whole cake scene syler had. That whole thing had laughing out loud actually. Syler is simple the best character on this show, I even liked him as a good guy in the future.

And for once I didn't find Claire to be a complete dumb blonde whining about everything. Hope she continue's her new act.

Scenes with Hiro and his mom were well done too. Sucks how he did all that for nothing though.

 

[Sibylus]

An excellent episode tonight. We haven't had one of these in forever.

Still not as good as Company Man, though. That episode had me tearing up at the end.

 

[DrLazy]

Papa Petrelli dies because the bullet goes in and the Haitan is there to stop his healing powers. What's so hard to understand?

I don't think any of the healers have the ability to come back to life. In every case where someone was healed they were close to death, but not quite dead. Like you couldn't take an ounce of Claire's blood and put it on a corpse and bring them back to life.

However, the time travel stuff hurts my brain.

If i recall HRG was fucking dead when they put her blood into him.

 

[Chamber]

And Claire died during the eclipse.

 

[Kuroyume]

Can someone explain to me why Hiro's mom had to pass the catalyst? Wouldn't it have made sense to die with it?

 

[Sibylus]

Perhaps to keep it safe but also to keep it available to the right people as a last resort (If the Company guys had intended for it to be lost to history, they wouldn't have kept pieces of the formula in a safe).

Having your cake and eating it too and all that.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Peter WAS a nuclear explosion and survived.

Yes, but that was a part of the power. He had sort of like an eye of the storm thing going on then which meant he couldn't be affected.

What the fuck was that catalyst anyway? I'd believe that healing powers could alter the formula but some light that seemed unrelated to hiro's mother's power? Okay...

 

[The Chosen One]

I've been critical of the last few episodes, but tonight's episode was awesome!

- There were like 7 murders, two of which were main characters that aren't likely to come back.

- It was nice to see that the Haitian had some limits. But we only found out that he had limits because Peter was a Pussy. Normally the Haitian rolls with HRG so business is handled quick.

- Sylar was just all kinds of badass tonight. It's like it was bent up for a season and a half and it just busted out this episode. Him killing Arther was unexpected and awesome.

- I usually don't like time travel episodes but tonight's was good. Claire was less annoying (though still annoying) and it was great that HRG was about 5 seconds away from killing his future daughter. :lol

- For ONCE everyone seemed mostly in character and they used their powers as expected. Arther appearing in the past was a bit odd, but he's consistently just popped up in random places without much explanation. If you notice, the power's of the "old guard" (Arther, Angela, Hiro's dad, and etc) have been consistently remained vague. I think this is a good thing.

- I'm willing to guess that The Light will now go to Peter.

I'm still pissed at Heroes for sucking it up in the ratings this season, which helped get My Own Worst Enemy canceled. But there might be some solace if they can end the back half the season on a strong note.

 

[rollingstart]

Kaito's power was revealed in Season 2, but they might retcon it to fit bette with Season 3. His power is to know the probability of success and this is why he was so successful in business.

[jordan0386]

THATS HOW HE GOT THE SCAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Chosen One]

THATS HOW HE GOT THE SCAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH SNAP!

But who did it exactly? Sylar or Arther?

 

[FitzOfRage]

"The" scar runs across his face diagonally. That scar was only on his cheek.

You're right...

I ran to my ever-observant wife to tell her my "OH SNAP" moment and I was promptly put in my place.

Thank you GAF for making me look like a fool. I'm sure this won't be the last time.

 

[jordan0386]

Oops.

Heroes is no different to Lost. Ups and downs.

 

[Gallagher]

God dammit.... what a really great episode. Iam laughing like a crazy psychopath after watching sylar killing everybody.

 

[vicissitudes]

I'm with the others here, great episode. Season 3 has been so uneven, but at least it had its ups. I'm sad to see Big Boss go, but he was too overpowered.
Hopefully the last episode of the volume will end on a strong note next week.
(also, Sylar is bad-ass for killing anything that moves, and I'm really starting to miss Peter with his abilities. I hope he gets it back soon.)

 

[Ashhong]

if the catalyst was given to hiro, then the "future" claire no longer has it. at least, thats how i think the writers will handle this. and i doubt that big boss is truly dead...he will come back.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

"Huh, that was a good episode.
I also request a gif of Cake Sylar."

 

[Clipjoint]

This episode confirmed to me what I have suspected all along - Hiro is Danny LaRusso's son!

 

[Catalix]

A decently crafted episode...
Minimal bitching and actual praise in the thread...

I have a theory the two scenarios are connected somehow.

 

[DihcarEM]

Well that was good.
It looks like they listened to the viewers and switched Sylar evil again, it didn't seem like such a popular idea. People want him evil, oh well.
At least he seems to be having more fun that way. So it looks like Gabrial with a son-future is almost completely gone. It could be that Angela will reveil she's his real mother.
Cake.:lol Not a good day to go to work i guess.

Finally Hiro's memories are back, but he lost his powers and gets stuck in the past. This makes me even more sure that Peter will also get his powers back.

Arthur is finally dead, if they are smart enough to dismember his body after death, cus otherwise if the bullet is removed he will live again. The yellow fog thing that came out of his body was the catalyst, so it's lost. The only batch available is the container he put it in before leaving to confront Peter and Haitin.
My guess is there will be only enough remaining for Peter and Hiro.
Nice to see some limit to the Haitin's power.
I really hope Peter kills Nathan, he's such an ass, and the fear you saw on their faces when the soldier revealed his power was proof enough that their plan was the dumbest ever.
Really weird that Sylar let Peter live and when also could have taken on the Haitan? He was weak and Sylar could have gotten a gun to shoot him with, take his powers and be invincible. I hope Sylar first kills that soldier next week, then lay waste to Pinehearst.

 

[Raistlin]

Angela could still be the mother.

Yeah, that's my guess.

 

[Zoe]

Yeah, that's my guess.

Twist! Peter and Sylar have the same father. That's why Nathan looks different and more like Arthur.

 

[Raistlin]

This episode confirmed to me what I have suspected all along - Hiro is Danny LaRusso's son!

Is that who played his mom?

Crap, I thought she looked familiar.

Twist! Peter and Sylar have the same father. That's why Nathan looks different and more like Arthur.

:lol

 

[diunxx]

hiro's mother was hot.

 

[Ceres]

Twist! Peter and Sylar have the same father. That's why Nathan looks different and more like Arthur.

And why Arthur wasn't completely retarded like Peter when he had almost all the same powers.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Great episode!

Hiro's mother hottest MILF?

 

[y2dvd]

No mention of Mohinder. Is that dude dead?

 

[broadwayrock]

Was it me or did they 'woll smoth' Claire's mother in the 16 years earlier sections? Her eyes looked really small.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Twist! Peter and Sylar have the same father. That's why Nathan looks different and more like Arthur.

I'm guessing the actual twist will be that Peter isn't actually Angela or Big Boss's kid.

That way they can satisfy girls who want Peter and Claire to hook up, "just like in real life!!"

I'm serious, btw.

 

[Sibylus]

He isn't dead, he was just mostly invisible this episode.

 

[KibblesBits]

Special effects were use to make the Bennetts look younger in those scenes.

Will we ever see Hiro of the future from season one again? That scene with

hiro of the future and peter on the subway was amazing

for the love of God make this show watchable again

it would be funny if hiro lived all the way until present time and finally gets his powers back when arthur dies

i wonder how he would have spent all that time

Doubt it since the future has changed because ando lived so Hiro does not go all commando/samurai.

Can't happen he's dead.

Actually no, the future has changed. Future Hiro never existed, probably.....

I love this pic.

God knows why he died, the Haitan failed to stop his powers, it was Syler using his telekenisis in a manner similar too how papa stopped Hiro from porting when he took his powers.

Needless to say this has been another bullshit episode, I wouldn't be shocked if see see Papa alive and well in the next episode. Also, for all those people orgasming over Syler, why? He's still being written horribly, at the end of the episode all he says was "You don't have anything I need Peter" before running off I had to cringe. I mean no, you don't need a thing from Peter... but Arthur and the Haitian are in front of you on a platter and would make you invincible if you had a nibble.

With Arthur dead, the Haitian wouldn't have to contain him anymore (as in, he's free to target anyone else in the room). Sylar trying to attack the Haitian when all he has to do is stand there and focus on him is an insanely bad idea. Especially when Peter is still holding a gun. He took out Arthur and left promptly. You know, it's called not pushing your luck.

I'm assuming Syler could prevent the Haitian from using his powers if he was aware of his presence before he activated them, further still I thought the Haitian burnt himself out on Arthur. Though if you really want to argue this out, he could of took out the Haitian when he was unaware of his presence, then paralysed Arthur if Peters shot didn't take him out.

True, but he was coming for Arthur primarily. If he took out the Haitian, Arthur might have guessed at his purpose (or read his mind) and done something. I see it as Sylar just going for the more practical route, as in not giving Peter or the Haitian a reason to attack, but still getting an answer out of Mr. Petrelli.

 

[Lavpa Jasai]

Have the Haitian and sylar come into contact before? The Hatian comes and goes so often its hard to keep track.

If they havn't sylar wouldnt really know about what the Haitians power is, or if he even had one. He also seemed like he was in a bit of a hurry towards somthing and dealing with those two just wasnt what he wanted to accomplish.

The Hatian has already captured Sylar before, back in the Homecoming episode.
