Somewhere between a rock and a hard place.
I don't know who's still watching this dross anymore but I'm a bit OCD when it comes to knowing what happens in a plot. That and T-Bag from Prison Break (Robert Knepper) has become a regular.

All in all, decent beginning, Claire is starting to look fit again.
 
I'm like you mate, I have to know how its going to end etc.

So yeah, I'm watching it, in fact, I just finished watching the 1st two episodes. They were average/good overall.
But with Claire it seems like its the same old story line - new friend, finds out she has powers etc etc.

The T-Bag Carnie Crew are a bit new though - strange that they've just come out the woodwork now and go straight after Sylar and co.

Hopefully they progress the storyline a bit quicker than in previous seasons, I've always felt that the idea of the show is brilliant, but the writing is below par.
 
I couldn't work out T-Bag's accent, but I'm pretty sure he was supposed to be Irish. Also, what exactly was his power because:

At the beginning he buries his brother with the soil using some sort of telekenesis to move the soil, yet he does the ink thing later on in the episode

Not to mention the:
choking of the guy (probably comes under the ink thing). But maybe he's a Sylar type character, he must have some sort of crazy power because he is the head of that crew.

What is the power of the blonde bird who shows the pictures of everyone on her back? Hardly anything special is it...probably the worst power out of the lot if I'm honest.

Also, has Peter got his old power back - where he got everyones powers? Or is he stuck with that same one, where he can only have one at a time?
 
The head of that new crew supposedly has the power to control the ground, so he can open up the ground and close it up etc. I believe they can control rocks as well. Not sure what is up with that ink if it is strangling that fast dude, found that kind of weird. Maybe he can control that ink as well? That lady can obviously sense and find people and know who they are. They obviously didn't know who stole that compass so she helped find the person.

No Peter hasn't got his old powers yet, he can take on other peoples powers but only hold onto one. Kind of lame really...

Not entirely sure what to think just yet, need to give it a few episodes yet. Some good things and some poor things. I'm liking Tracy's powers, a lot cooler than just being able to freeze things.
 
I thought the fight between Peter and the knife thrower was very good.

Decent episode, hoping it picks up.

Oh yeah! The episode was so long I forgot about that part!

Great Scene.

:lol: probably. T-bag made a seemless transition from resident paedophile to superhero, and grew a hand in between times.
 
it was utter tripe. Boring as feck.

Writers are just so shit.
 
I thought the last episode was amazing....

The bonding moment between Claire and her new friend was just eye-watering, the deaf woman playing the cello was beautiful, Sylar tricking Parkman was ingenious and the way the new villain managed to add himself to the paper article just seconds before Peter entered the door almost made my heart stop.

Oh, and don't get me started on the interesting Hiro story which had me on the edge of my seat throughout the episode.
 
I'm glad I stopped watching this, sounds like it hasn't gotten any better.

:lol:

Its like they only have one storyline for Claire. Meet stranger, tell them secret, leave for a new place.

When is Hiro going to turn into this master Samurai guy with a pony tail that we seen in the 1st season?! How many seasons do they expect us to watch this shit for until something worth watching happens?

Sylar should never have gone through this gay phase of 'trying to find himself' - bad turn for the storyline. Especially after he got that power from the mexican girl which let him kill everyone in a room. He hasn't used it since mind you, which makes me wonder if the 3rd season was worth watching at all...
 
Seriously, this is getting ridiculous, absolutely nothing happened in this episodes except for the last 2 seconds.

It's like watching a soap opera.
 
So, without reading the spoilers (just in case), when this starts on BBC2 is it worth me watching it? I've watched every episode so far, but swore I'd stop watching after the end of season 3 because it was so utterly stupid. Has this one continued in that same terrible vein?

Yes, it's shit, I've no idea why I still watch it, it gets worse every week.
 
What annoys me the most is Micahs mum, whatever shes called in this form, but ffs, she just randomly pops up, double crosses somebody, dies, and is back again.

Next time, she'll be called Shiela!
 
Well it didn't take long for:

Sylar to return did it. He'll probably still think hes Nathan but I thought they might tease his return and Nathan slowly realising who he is a bit longer than 3/4 episodes.

Its all gone a bit rubbish. Oh and Hiro going back to the past several times to stop some guy photocopying his butt? Whatever. Wheres badass future Hiro with the sword from season 1? He hasn't developed at all.

I think she has another sister called Barbera so if this current one is killed off we still have another to look forward to \o/

Yeah was completely boring this episode, a filler episode as they say. Problem is Heroes is quickly running out of time and they really shouldn't be having any filler episodes considering the mess they have got themselves into. Right now for me is nailed down as not returning for next season, from what I've ready only reason it is still around is because it is successful outside of America so NBC have stuck with it.

Why did Peter seem so unsurprised that Nathan can suddenly move things with his mind and sense the history of every item he has touched? You would of thought he would of been shocked that he has gone from only flying to having all these powers.

Claire gets more annoying every week. They need a complete change with her, make her bad or chop her head off! HRG also needs to get back to hunting these people down because that is what made him interesting, living that double life is what made the character so intriguing.

Hiro seems like a character who has no purpose whatsoever. His scene with his sister could of been better. He has had an emotional scene with his father and mother and for me those two scenes were up there with the best parts this show has produced.

I've read next weeks episode is the one where things really come together and things get interesting but I've been hearing that for a long time. I sometimes wonder why I even bother with this show....

Because he knows that Nathan is really Sylar
 
The show was better when we had a vision of super Hiro with a gigantic sword and ponytail - who actually looked like he could do something rather than piss about all the time. Seriously...Hiro is a just a fat Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime who's had the most boring storylines since season 2.

Sylar should stop pissin around, kill the lot of these bastards and finish the show.
 
Yeah hopefully by the end of this season something bad happens to Peter and Hiro that turns them into those badass versions we saw from the future. I think that is the only thing that might save this show now!

I'm sure Peter was there when the real Nathan was getting burned.
 
Thanks for the spolers prateik ;)

That wasn't Nathan getting burned, that was that shape shifter who had shifted into Sylar getting burned.

Could have sworn Peter was there when Nathan's body was burnt, look back it was indeed Sylar's. His comment of 'must run in the family must have been his real opinion then, after all his dad could use different powers, and so could be at one point, it stands to reason that Nathan would be able to, even if he'd never demonstrated it.
 
Nathan was given his power though by the formula, he doesn't naturally have powers like Peter and Arthur so it wouldn't really make sense for him to share similar abilities with them.

Thought he would of been a lot more surprised at his brother for so long only having one power and all of a sudden he is pulling out all these new ones. I'm not sure Sylar can fly, only hover or propel himself to great heights so will be funny if he suddenly realises he can't fly. Also if Peter tries to take a power won't he realise that all these powers seem to be the same as the ones he tried to take from Sylar?

Technically speaking Peter's current power has come from the formula as well :) Rumour had it as well that Arthur's power actually came from the formula as well but I don't think they ever confirmed or showed it. After how lame that formula story was I doubt they will ever mention it again.
