Enjoyable. Doesn't really grab me but this is probably the best they
can now do. I do want to compliment the directing: The contrast in
hues between the Bennet and Petrelli Thanksgivings, the colors at the
carnival, that scene in the cornfield - it's become a very pretty show
to look at.
And Gretchen only ran to the other side of the campus? So much for me
giving her credit.

I was surprised, I thought she left school and went home.

I thought they strongly implied that, yes. I believe Gretchen
specifically said she was going home to her family, with the implication
being that she was going to leave school.
Frankly, I consider this specific plot development from this episode to
be a bit of a 'retcon'... :/

Hmmm... is this "Tea Bag" guy with the mascara around his eyes a
complete idiot or what? Sylar pulls his head out of his own left butt
cheek just as expected. Claire can't resist some teen angst and self
mutilation at the dinner table. Didn't Hiro have his brain erased
several times already? In a show like this it is difficult to decide
whether this is aimless wandering or character development.

3.7. The Petrelli gathering showed just how amazingly stupid that
particular story line has been all along. I'm also not thrilled to see
Gretchen back. And the whole time travel thing with Hiro falls
apart--as does every time travel plot in every show--once you realize
that he could simply go back to a time before he first met Samuel and
know to play things differently the second time around. In short, he
has no reason whatsoever to allow himself (or Charlie) to be held
hostage by Samuel's demands. Once he crossed that "changing the past"
bridge, there would be no reason to turn back.

Nothing wrong with socialism mixed with Capitalism per se like in
so many countries (Canada for one). I think you meant communism
and collectivism.
In any case,
1.0 Not much new here. I guess were waiting for the big Samuel
blow-out sale.......<g> Again, we have Nathan's thoughts taking
over Sylar's body. This is just too silly.

Her parents didn't want to waste the $40 000 tuition either.

Oh c'mon, maybe they didn't write it well in that episode, but these were
in the can long enough that they could have made the change. Maybe
Gretchen had a change of heart and just moved out.

Yeah, but proved a point. Seems like she's saying she finally gives up on
being "normal"

Nope, just once, and we don't yet know what has happened this time.

Which is one of the most frustrating aspects of Hiro's character every
season. Although this season may be the worse.

It's the Hiro stuff that bugs me. Why doesn't he use his brain and do to
Samuel what he did to Adam, telling him "I'll be back when you're ready to
talk."

Or realized she couldn't tell her parents what happened without being shut

Not when you consider what he wants. He wants to know how to create
earthquakes which would kill "millions of people."

She's perfectly normal when she isn't digging a knife into herself or
throwing herself out a window.

No matter where they live, there are always good times to be had at the

3.5 - the .5 is for the return of my favorite character - Mr Muggles!
So first it was Sylar-in-Parkman's-head, now it's Nathan-in-Sylar's-head
- them writers is just full of great ideas!

Or gets in a fight? accidentily cuts her self on glass? Trips and fall,
get's punched? Thousands of ways her power would display at unwanted times.
Donald Cavender
:) You made a really good point, Claire is really accident prone. Lucky
for Claire she is indestructible, because any normal human would have
been dead a long time ago.
Donald Cavender
I agree time travel is the ultimate power, it should never been in a
show; time travel opens way too many possible plot wholes.

What makes it especially aggravating is the fact that Hiro *himself*
pointed out this mulligan option when he commented to Mohinder about the
fact that his first attempt to save Mohinder's life failed because he
arrived too late. But whereas he apparently won't try again where
Charlie is concerned, he told Mohinder that not only did he try again in
his case, but that he made sure to bring that bulletproof vest with him
in order to change the outcome.

Actually a show about time travel could be interesting if it had well
established rules. Because time travel doesn't exist (yet?) in real
life writers follow whatever rules make sense to them personally.
Multiple writers means multiple rules and contradictions.
