All right, Heroes
Oh, lest I forget, here's a video that's much, much better than Heroes, straight from Norway:
Bizarre? Yes. But it didn't make me feel dumber for having watched it, which means it's better than both Heroes seasons 2 and 3... so far. (Via io9)

I don't know. Methinks it may be too late to save this show. Even if Fuller can straighten it out for the rest of the season, the damage has been done. I'd be surprised if it gets renewed. I'll give it to the end of the season, but it may be like Manny Coto on Enterpoop: too little, too late.

Review on aintitcool is claiming it's the best episode since Company Men. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/40526
Hopefully I won't have the urge to throw bottles of whiskey at the t.v. tonight.

Bryan Fuller is the Barack Obama of the "Heroes" crew. He inherited a mess and people expect him to clean it up in his first shot.

First off it was Company Man.
Secondly, why all the hate? It's a fantasy show that's beamed for free into your house. You don't have to watch it, you don't have to bitch and moan about it.
No show bats 100%.
I have watched this seasons episodes in chunks, ie 3 or 4 at a time and have loved them. The only terrible one that I can see having skipped or having better writing was Exposed.
Other than that the overall stories have been engaging, some twists seen others not.
Willful suspension of disbelief.
It's a show about humans with funky DNA that gives them superpowers.
Rob, Hiro is a bummer of a character without his powers and Ando is a tertiary character AT BEST. Babysitting is just fine for them .
I loved Hayden in the comic book store, BECAUSE of the story you had posted of her hating the "ickiness" of comic book people and her fans.
Natch.

First off, Heroes has been picked up for next year.
Secondly, um he is a great writer and all that, but it is going to be a push to get it all straightened out, I would give it 2 weeks from now till it is good again, and if he sticks around for season 4 it should go back to year one greatness.

While I do hold some reservations - mostly stemming from the fact that they killed two female characters in order to push the storylines of male characters (Tracy sacrifices herself to save Micah, Daphne dies from wounds she got five episodes ago trying to save Matt) - I did enjoy the better part of this episode more than I have anything all season.
I'll sign the card too. But I fully expect Tracy to somehow survive, reshaping herself ala Iceman.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the last episode end with Sylar in "the Hunter's" apartment, looking like he was about to slice open his skull?
Other than that failure of continuity, seemed like a standard episode of Heroes. Cold wars had better camera work IMO. Caught me off guard in the first 5 minutes. This was nice, but really nothing too special.

The return of Bryan Fuller was more depressing than I was expecting.
I feel bad for Ali Larter. This show has not done well by her. She rarely got to do any onscreen She-Hulk action in season 1. In season 2, they neutered her by making her sane and giving her the Legacy Virus. This seaon, she's had very inconsistent writing (like everybody else) and could only do Sub-Zero's fatality (which got dull). Her best moment this season has been her sweating in bondage. It was stupid to sacrifice herself instead of actually developing Tracey. It's sad that the mini-commercials were the best showcase for her. How cool would it be if she was superstrong, thermokinetic, could fly, AND turn on lightbulbs with her mind? Why do only guys get to be omnipotent on this show?
I'm more upset over Daphne's death. She was my favorite new character since she actually had consistent and relatable characterization. She was pragmatically amoral instead of nobly incompetent like most of the cast. She was the perfect foil for Hiro and Ando. Why'd they have to kill off a refreshing charcter with plenty of room for growth and instead of the characters that have been played out (Peter, parkman, Mohinder, Claire)? WHY BRYAN?

It's a shame they had to spend so much of the episode trying to fix little things, but it needed to be done. Everything just looked better. The camera angles, the dialogue, the (if I remember correctly) complete lack of the useless camera shake when Matt mindrapes people...only complaint is no Sylar, but I can't wait to see how he handles him.
Unfortunately they can't really ditch the current ridiculous storyline so late in the game, so I guess we'll see how he works with that.
Count me in on the card :D

@JimmyPL
The bit with Sylar disappearing from Danko's (The Hunter) house wasn't a continuity error. It's pretty much implied that Sylar was the one who left Eric "Puppet Master" Doyle strung up and gift-wrapped for Danko to find in his living room.
Why? Best guess is Sylar is going to propose an unholy Cyberman/Dalek alliance since they both have the ultimate goal of wanting to find and kill a lot of people with powers.

@Snoodles-I agree 100% with your anticipation of Fuller-ized Sylar. He was been the only thing worth watching on that show as of late, and Fuller will only make the character better.
@Evil Monkey Pope-I agree with your sentiments towards Daphne's demise, but I have to admit that was a well written ending.
@Rob-Topless Pimpbot, MyNoNos would be honored to be included on a card of great thanks to Mr Fuller.

Huh, you know watching it again on Hulu I happened to see that Stacy Strauss didn't actually die last episode. Apparently she can now exist as ice, and likely as water, since her broken ice head winks at the camera. And here I thought we were finally over this whole Niki/Stacy thing.

This episode was much better. I think Fuller was trying to clean up some of the nonsense that had been added to the show. So some characters had to die, big deal. It makes the cast smaller again and makes it less complicated.
Now I think Ice-Woman will return since she winked at the end. That means she may have had a second mutation and is now much more powerful and closer in power to Ice-Man and not Sub-Zero.

The Truth said:
That episode of Heroes sucked balls. You kool-aid drinkers need to wise up. Just because it was better than any episode we've been given in the last two years just means they have lowered the bar way too far for you to realize how awful this show still is.
It's like saying a kick in the balls is ok because they didn't piss on you afterwards this time.
Hiro and Ando have been ruined. The sooner they die, the better. I hate every minute they are on screen.
The rest is such a load of pointless junk. Sylar and Peter are your money characters. Sylar is a pussy with daddy issues and Peter has no powers anymore and he's a mommas boy. It's all so far off the tracks there is no way to fix this shit.
