And I guess I like Sylar better when he's a real bastard.
So.......Gabriel is close enough to 40 that Nathan doesn't remember his mother having a middle child before Peter? 
He doesn't remember if Peter had a twin? A twin that was brought home long enough for Angela to try and drown him or who was given away?
Bull shit.
At least Sylar's back to form, thank God.

I hope that flashback ep in 2 weeks straightens out all this stuff about the company & Angela/Arthur's history, Im really comfused about how all that fits right now.
But I guess... Angela & Arthur are both evil, but wanted to do different things with the company?

Is it just me or we getting really jerked around this season as to who's good and who's bad? I mean, just these last 2 episodes, Sylar, Peter, Arthur, Angela, Dahpne and Mohinder have all changed from heroes to villains to something in between several times each. Its very muddy.
It all seems very contrived too... especially Peter and Sylar... ones good, one's bad... then they switch, then they are both good, then both bad, then one is half good, half bad, and the other is 75% good, 20% bad, and 5% Teflon.
And I thought Mohinder was turning to a real baddy... I mean he did kill a bunch fo people and appeared to be totally psychotic, then all fo the sudden this episode, he's his old self again who had just done a few regretful things with good intentions.
And there's also Daphne... what is her deal? Fake good, but still good deep down? All bad? All good? Who the fuck knows.
I didn't like this episode much, though I liked parts of it. Its just the muddiness of the characters and the zaniness of the intermixing plot that makes it all seem like a pointless excercise. And what a lackluster ending. We know Hiro is just on one of those spirit walk things, cuz Matt did it earlier. And they leave with suspense as if we don't know if he's gonna be okay? Psh.
Oh, and anyone else notice how "The Company" which was so bad in season 1 is now pretty much good, so they just made a totally new company to take its place as the "bad" one? And Noah is back with the company seemingly willingly after vowing to destroy it only a few months earlier. Hmm.
The preview for the next episode makes it look like it will hopefully bring somg clarity to this mess of characters

I voted Average. The episode had its moments. Nathan deciding to take action at the end was the highlight as the sides are finally coming together. Lyle dousing Elle was pretty cool too and Maya being gone is a highlight.
But this episode just didn't have it. Hiro was annoying in the two scenes he was in, Mohinder gets stupider with every episode and even though I like both of them, Parkman and Daphne just don't fit as a couple. I was more disappointed to see Maury get killed than Adam. He was a creepy badass. This episode seemed demonstrative of a lot of the problems they've been having since Season 2.
Arthur's line about Angela was pretty damn funny. They're really rachetting the homoerotic subtext between Peter and Sylar. Though I'm far more interested in seeing Claire and Elle getting it on.

I can excuse this, because at the moment, The Company is run by Noah Bennet and his family. Really, think about it- -Bob's dead, Eric Roberts is dead, Angela's in a coma, Linderman's dead...all of the people who he had to run to protect his family are either dead, coma, or Sylar...and they were buddy cops. So really, at this point, he's pretty much, well, won. Go Horn Rimmed Glasses!
At this point in the narrative, as well, I think the only place the Sylar/Mohinder Circle-Of-Vengeance is for them to become friends. Like Londo and G'Kar.
And speaking of the Petrelli Bros, I'm calling 'memory wipe' on both of them in the new episode in two weeks.
Anyone else thinking that this Chapter's ending is just going to be a big badass super villain fight, with casualties and turncoats abundant on both sides?
I fear that Peter will not get any powers back until the next chapter.
I forgot but who was Eric Roberts?
Claire and Elle's plane ride from hell was a fun scene.

If Pasdar left the show I'd be gone, too. Angela, Arthur, Nathan, Tracy, and Sylar are the only characters I'm invested in anymore. They've even ruined Elle. Matt's borderline with all this Daphne nonsense.
I liked that line from Arthur, too. Have you met their mother?
i like him better this way too... he makes a convincing evil under cover.... with everybody wondering is he really....
Glad to see that the next new episode will tie up some of the (numerous) loose ends. Hopefully we will find out how Maury escaped from his own mental prison as well.
I really thought Maya would get a nasty end. But no, she gets cured & just goes back home. Huh.
Either way, she's (hopefully) gone. So let's just call it a win and move on.
I like Robert Forster as Papa Petrelli, but I hope whatever shoe is going to drop, drops soon.
