Can't believe no one else started one yet so here it is. Finally a new episode and well worth the wait, this show doesn't miss a beat.

Sylar vs. Peter round 2 did not disappoint. I don't quite understand what Peter was doing while he was invisible. Shouldn't he have gone on the offensive instead of trying to tip toe out the door? Sylar's solution was fairly inventive. Amazingly that man just gets colder and colder each time he is on screen. The way he talked to Peter then later Isaac about murdering them is so matter of fact, it's like he's discussing a grocery list. Isaac's death scene was particularly brutal. I guess one could say he died like a hero. He didn't run or try to hide, as he stated, "I cannot fight the future it's too big for me".

I'm thrilled that Ted and Matt escaped, not so excited on their teaming up with Bennet. I knew Linderman was his boss but was surprised that he didn't know.

I enjoyed seeing Jessica get played, imagine she won't be very happy when she figures it out. I figure Linderman is going to use Micah's talent to alter the election results via computer.

Cool ending with Hiro meeting his future self. Didn't think that was allowed for lack of a better term. Future Hiro did not seem pleased.

Looks like all the players are moving into position for the endgame, the final four episodes should be fantastic.

The Sylar v. Peter was good. What we learned was the Peter can take Sylar in a fight. Until now Sylar appeared to be the stronger, but Peter was able defend himself quite successfully. Kind of like Hannibal though, he doesn’t seem to know how to use a victory, and actually ended up loosing this round. His death and ultimate resurrection was pretty predictable. We already know that killing Claire is kind of a trick, so Peter shouldn’t be any different, but Sylar doesn’t know that, which gives Peter a strategic advantage.

Ted, Matt and Bennett escaping was also kind of predictable. And it was also somewhat predictable that Bennett has been relegated to “middle management.” This was sort of his official exoneration. A distinction between Bennett and the real bad guys calling the shots.

Yeah, how does Hiro meet his future self? I’m not entirely sure that’s possible. Maybe that’s why future Hiro seemed pissed. He’s going to have to give himself a talking to.

Next episode looks awesome.

I had thought about posting a thread last night, but I figured I'd wait. I think some folks are kind of distracted by Drive right now (which in my opinion makes a wonderful lead in to Heroes, even if it is on another network ).

I liked how they protrayed Isaac's death as well. I wonder though, what is it he was referring to exactly, the last good thing he did to help? And on another note, I liked how they showed Sylar's style of painting. It kind of had an unstable look to it.

If Linderman is the big boss, where does that leave Hiro's dad? It doesn't seem like he'd be a small-time player, not with the huge corporation he runs. Is it possible he's more of a partner?

Micah leaving with Linderman gives me pause. Will he give Micah back after he's through with him? And if he doesn't, what will Jessica and DL, do?

I don't think Bennett, Ted, and Matt teaming up is such a bad thing. There might be a chance for them all to do some real good if they can set aside their differences. All the characters seem to be gravitating towards New York now, in preparation for the final showdown. I wonder what's going to ensue.

Oh, and that woman Candace? Really hating her right now.

Edit: I just thought of one more thing. In the previews for the next episode, Mohinder and Nathan were saying something about "genocide". Genocide against whom? If they're talking humans, it would be akin to the Nazi's actions in the Holocaust, clearing the way for a new master race. It would kind of make Nathan like Magneto, in a way. But if it's the heroes, that would have all sorts of interesting implications (not to mention the fact that it would smack of self-loathing).

One of the things I've been thinking for quite a while now is that Peter's and Nathan's parents must have been "Heroes" as well. Well, we now know that MoM Patrelli is. I figure that She, Linderman, Sulu (heh, Dad Nakimora) and maaaaayyybe Dad Patrelli were some of the first. The cabal that Linderman was telling Nathan about. Remember how he said they used their power for personal gain? Look at them..they're all well off.

Just a guess on my part though.

The elder Petrelli wasn't a mutant (the comics have confirmed it).

And I don't think Linderman is the boss of Bennet's organization. I think he's someone outside, who is pulling the strings of Bennet's superior.

Sylar vs. Peter round 2 was a bit of a disappointment. It was cool to see the look on Sylar's face when Pete's healing ability closed the wound on this forehead and then Pete gave him a TK shove across the room. I thought that Pete going and invisible and not launching some sort of attack was lame. He had his back to Sylar when he was struck by the glass? WTF?!? And why didn't Mohinder kill Sylar when he was out and helpless on the floor? The man is evil and a cold blooded killer. Why would you leave that psycho alive?

Isaac's death struck me a little more deeply than I thought it would. Apparently he had painted his death and was at peace with it, but he didn't put up a fight? Did he really paint a pic on how to defeat Sylar and stop the bomb? Who did he send it to? Or was it the comic art that he sent out with the carrier? It sucks that Sylar has his ability now.

Mohinder is joining with Bennett's boss? That can't be good. With Mohinder's program and research that will put a lot of heroes in the hands of the shadow cabal.

Nathan appears to be sliding over to the dark side. He appears willing now to allow the bomb to happen to help Linderman and his NWO buddies to get their catalyst to launch Nathan into the White House. Is he that self motivated or just that easily manipulated?

I think Nathan & Pete's mom is the one with powers, not their father. In their conversation Claire said "you're like me" and their was a pointed moment of silence before Mrs Petrelli changed the subject. Her having powers would also explain why she is so involved with the heroes and what is going on.

I thought the part where Bennett is sending his thoughts out to Matt to instruct him on how to break them out was pretty cool. I like seeing Ted learning to control his powers a bit more especially creating an EMP to shut down the power in the building to assist in their breakout. Not sure how realistic it was that he "learned" to do it by taking instructions from Matt who was hearing Bennett's thoughts. *shrugs* I think the three of them will make a pretty potent force in taking down the tracking station and putting the hurt on the cabal. The enemy of my enemy is my friend is certainly apt in this instance. The tracking station is in NYC. That explains how those three get to NYC for the big boom.

I liked seeing Jessica get played too. I am kind of despising her character. Hope Nikki makes it back soon. I agree that Linderman is going to use Micah and his ability with electronics to alter or rig the election in Nathan's favor.

Our Hiro meeting future Hiro was pretty cool. Future Hiro just seems so cool and confident. A lot seems to have changed in him in five years. He is keeping track of the timeline and its divergences with yarn and pics? Seems unconventional, but guess it works for him. Why in Isaac's old studio?

I really like how they are writing Linderman's character. He is evil, but he sees himself as good and doing what he is doing for the good of all mankind. Kind of New World Order type.

I am so loving this show.

He was in shock from seeing Peter's death, and likely assumed that getting the hell out of there was the best option. It's fully possible that Sylar would've woken up before Mohinder (who was wounded) could have finished him. Destroying the computer and getting Peter away were the fastest options.

Unless of course, Bennet succeeds in bringing down that "Weapon X" program.

I'm not convinved he's playing along. He may be wrestling with the decision, but remember his words to Peter after he came back. I think he'll make the right choice. Also note how quick he is to get Claire and his mother out of the potential blast radius.

Heh.
"What's an EMP?"
Idiots.

I agree with with Cybersnark here. I think Nathan is really kind of lost right now. I don't think he agrees with Linderman, but considering who this guy is, it's a little overwhelming to take him on. And I enjoyed seeing him mourn Peter. Nathan isn't exactly known for showing a lot of emotion, so it was nice that he was expressing his grief.

I think that future Hiro possibly sees Isaac's death as one of his first mistakes, and he set up shop there as a reminder. Maybe Isaac's death is where everything startss to go downhill for the alternate future.

I'm telling you...If Ted isn't one of the Cavemen on the GEICO commercials, he should be.

Y'all know Ted is really married to Claire's mom, right? And has she had a stroke?
