@Paul I was just thinking that I have seen that title a lot. Thanks for laying out one of the rules.

To name a few: Buffy, Lost, Stargate Atlantis, Law & Order, JLU, Criminal Minds...

In fairness. Heroes could use a bit of a clean slate. Also,I think thatr's indicative of the fact that most genre shows usually back themselves into corners they can't write out of.

Also, evening Paul.

Berserker sighting. That Milo's book.

"Did you send a cello to my house?" I love that you ask an EMT that question.

Sylar the carnie... A whole new evil.
Posted by JesTr on 10/19/09 at 08:07 PM
I like the guy who plays the "earth-bending" carnie leader...also, Ray Park having a speaking role.

I like the idea of everyone coming together to save Hiro. Its nice to see plotlines converging.

Umm, couldn't Claire's blood be a healing tool, or are we supposed to just forget that???
Posted by mcbaker on 10/19/09 at 08:15 PM
That's sp two seasons ago mcbaker!

The Haitian's opposite. He gives memories back!

Evenin Boutux.
Posted by zombox on 10/19/09 at 08:18 PM
To give life or death...that power would probably drive anyone insane.
Posted by mcbaker on 10/19/09 at 08:20 PM
Sylar looks too weird with the longer hair and split bangs.
Posted by mcbaker on 10/19/09 at 08:22 PM
poor acting there by zachary
Posted by boutux on 10/19/09 at 08:23 PM
@mcbaker Emo-Sylar!!!
Posted by JesTr on 10/19/09 at 08:26 PM
@JesTr - That's probably it, haha.
Posted by mcbaker on 10/19/09 at 08:27 PM
How old is that kid suppose to be? His voice is cracking something fierce.
Posted by mcbaker on 10/19/09 at 08:28 PM
@mcbaker That's pretty much the power I wish for every day.
Posted by zombox on 10/19/09 at 08:28 PM
That was dumb as hell Peter.
Posted by zombox on 10/19/09 at 08:31 PM
awesome, he stop time but just too late
Posted by boutux on 10/19/09 at 08:31 PM
Well, speaking of emo...I'm going to take a guess and say that the kid's emotional state is the fuel to whether he heals or kills.
Posted by mcbaker on 10/19/09 at 08:32 PM
Peter could have just teleported behind and stole his power.
Posted by JesTr on 10/19/09 at 08:32 PM
@JesTr - Except that they don't know how that power works yet, so it might not work right for him.
Posted by mcbaker on 10/19/09 at 08:35 PM
Called it!...think happy thoughts, boy.
Posted by mcbaker on 10/19/09 at 08:38 PM
I like Hiro this season. They are finally using his wonderment and geniality properly.
Posted by zombox on 10/19/09 at 08:39 PM
and if he touches him he will lose teleportation and time control
Posted by boutux on 10/19/09 at 08:40 PM
About as subtle as a sledgehammer on glass run through an amp at midnight.
Posted by zombox on 10/19/09 at 08:42 PM
Emo kid, I don't need.
Posted by zombox on 10/19/09 at 08:49 PM
No! Ernie!
Posted by zombox on 10/19/09 at 08:51 PM
Does Ernie ever play a likeable character?
Posted by JesTr on 10/19/09 at 08:52 PM
@Jestr Ghostbusters.
Posted by zombox on 10/19/09 at 08:54 PM
Well, that was an okay episode all in all. I'm not a fan of emo boy.
Posted by zombox on 10/19/09 at 09:00 PM
i heart sylar. even emo sylar
Posted by boutux on 10/19/09 at 09:00 PM
Anyone else catch the Arrested Development style sign cover up with Hiro's head making the sign appear to say, "RAGE"? Or am I just looking into it too far?
Nice straw hat, Sylar.

And the FOZ poster on the posters at the end, for Foz McDermott, the assistant to the executive producer?

So, Peter now has powers over healing and killing, which are taken from Elixir, who, in turn, took his powers from the leader of 'X-Men 2099. If they had just looked for a healer like Linderman, it would have been adequate.
Now that my bitch about the episode is out of the way, I liked a majority of it. I like what they are doing with T-Bag and Spock and how they will have them play off each other. I guess the love triangle is a required element. Killing a cop could certainly progress the carnie storyline forward in a good manner, in that they will now be hunted, especially since he was invited to go to the carnival.
Bonus: We now know how to kill Claire. We just go to Weapon X and get some of those cancer tipped bullets that they shot Wolvie with and she is done. So that's nice.

Why didn't peter just teleport the kid to the hospital to fix hero?
Posted by Blitheh on 10/20/09 at 10:06 PM
Every genre television series must have an episode titled "Tabula Rasa." It's the rules.
