I liked this episode but it's still average. It had some great moments, and some bad moments. Peter should be thrown out the nearest window.
He already has been!
He already has been!
Well, the other night when I saw this episode, I was feeling like it was the best damn episode I saw in a long time. Now I've calmed down a bit I see that it was the Clare and Hiro stuff that was really keeping the episode's trousers up. I love the show when Clare and Noah are being sweet together - I realise that we're now on Clare's 27th realisation that he tries to do good by her, which is beginning to get repetative. But Clare/HRG scenes are gold, and I'll take what I can get of poor under-utilised Noah this season. I've also really enjoyed seeing a bit more of Sandra this year - it makes the Bennett family seem a little more real than the Petrellis.
Hiro and his mum were really sweet. Hiro wasn't acting like a stupid person, and the emotion in the scene where they talk to each other was very honest. Of course, her last, dying action is to give Hiro the catalyst to protect - which he then duely loses nearly straight away. Bah!
Sylar was fucking hilarious. Best episode for him since the season started. He's a total mess, which makes sense - his character's been all over the place for a while. He himself chooses to kill those people. And then, 'Mmm, cake!' Classy.
Ando, Daphne and Matt could have their own little show somewhere. They seem a bit irrelevant to the plot but I like their interactions. I don't think I want Ando to get powers.
Peter continues to be more interesting without his power. I hope that when he gets it back (whether that's this week or at the end of the season, I aren't fussed) there's either a limit on what powers he can use, or that the writers write him in a more intelligent way. He was at the stage where he could solve problems as long as he just remebered what power he had. Which never happened. *sigh*
The Haitian should have ignored Peter's request about killing Pa Petrelli and done it himself. I bet he was rolling his eyes inside when Pete said he'd do it himself. Poor bloke. He could run the entire operation all by himself; 'tis the power of his awesomeness.
Is Pa Patrelli dead? Dare I hope? He was interesting once upon a time, but since they never bothered developing his character, I never really bought him.
And Nathan, what the hell are you and Tracy doing, breeding some sort of uber-race of humans? They've both gone a bit off the rails.
Where the hell is Ma Petrelli?
I actually suspect Hiro will get his old powers back, and so will peter.
Its true writers don't know how to handle there powers, but I suspect they are even more afraid of changing them from there first season abilities. Peter will probably only get his base power back and we will get more changing past never works.
Hiro also went stupid again once he got his memories back. As soon as Arthur showed up he should have blinked out.
I also don't want to see Ando get powers. However, i wouldn't mind if he already had a power we just didn't know about, but it would have to be something like 'luck' that worked along the same lines as Bink in the xanth novels. His power is to protect him or work in his interest by having lucking things happen, but his power also wants to keep itself secret so it wouldn't be obvious.

Yeah, that's been bugging me for a while now. Disagree with people's concerns about creating an army of super-soldiers? Sure, that's reasonable. Ignore two people who you know can see the future (Peter and Angela) telling you that it will end terribly? Now you're just being an idiot. This goes for Arthur too.
