Heroes – S03E16 – Building 26

Volume Four: Fugitives

Tonight’s episode – Building 26

Heroes has been kicking ass and taking names so far in Volume Four, with the strongest batch of episodes since season one.  Apparently someone at the show remembered that this show is supposed to be excitig and fun and they’ve brought those two elements back to the show in a big way.

As always, I look forward to your thoughts, opinions, gripes, live-blogging, etc.

  37. boutux boutux says:

    hey i take offense. i’m a girl who loves comics

     

  38. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    That was super lame.

  39. rayclark rayclark says:

    @velvet: there have been 5 printings of that i htink he can find a copy somewhere lmao

  40. rayclark rayclark says:

    @conor: my mistake she didnt get her mind wiped Noahs just spinning more lies for her to believe

  41. superchuck superchuck says:

    What, is he deaf?

  42. rayclark rayclark says:

    @boutux: we know. apologies for Heroes being dumb towards you

  43. velvet velvet says:

    all that bagging and boarding for nothing

  44. hakaider hakaider says:

    "hey guys, can we just pretend that my daughter’s not involved? …greeeeeat…"

  45. rayclark rayclark says:

    stop a wedding…thats not a good idea Hiro

  46. superchuck superchuck says:

    That’s a bold statement from a total stranger.

  47. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Having just seen SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, this is quite a jarring change in portrayals of India.

  48. superchuck superchuck says:

    Hiro jealous of Ando, I love it!

  49. hakaider hakaider says:

    wait…where’d wedding lady come from?

  50. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Doesn’t feel so good being the bitch now does it, Hiro?

  51. rayclark rayclark says:

    @conor: shoulda watched cbs news tonight that was a portrayal of India. didnt know that Indians didnt think highly of that movie…really made me upset.

  52. Devastron Devastron says:

    How did they even get to India? Also, Ando destinyblocking Hiro, lol.

  53. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Ugh, Moira Kelly!  Stay away from here, Mandy!

  54. Superyan Superyan says:

    jeph loeb exec producer?  i thought he was fired…

  55. rayclark rayclark says:

    my moneys on nathan showing that girl his powers to prove powers are real

  56. superchuck superchuck says:

    This is the best relationship on the show!  Sylar and his sidekick!

  57. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @Superyan: TV shoots way ahead of what you see on screen (especially in a show like this with so much FX) so Loeb and Alexander are going to be in the credits for a while.

  58. velvet velvet says:

    rosebud

  59. rayclark rayclark says:

    sylars having a moment. "luke you really have to stop being my friend or im going to have to kill you"

  61. tlavan tlavan says:

    Tracy = mysteriously dissapearance/ liquadation.

  62. boutux boutux says:

  63. boutux boutux says:

  64. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Being sold for cash by his father explains a lot about Sylar.

  65. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

  74. superchuck superchuck says:

    I think we’re still going to see that image happen with Hiro.

  75. velvet velvet says:

    hrg has gone from super badass to keystone cop-like this season.

  76. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    That was a FANTASTIC "pot hitting head" sound effect.  Good work, foley people.

  77. boutux boutux says:

    sylar looks like the kid is driving him nuts

  78. hakaider hakaider says:

    you really don’t get that Sylar’s going to kill you…don’t you?

  79. rayclark rayclark says:

    sylar is totally taking this kid under his wing

  80. superchuck superchuck says:

    Oh, please don’t cry, Sylar!

  81. rayclark rayclark says:

  87. velvet velvet says:

  89. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

  90. superchuck superchuck says:

    Bad@$$! 

  91. rayclark rayclark says:

    hes gonna go back i think

  92. boutux boutux says:

    sylar sold the kid out

     

  93. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    Just Sylar, apparently.

  94. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    I love how everytime they make us think they’ve made Sylar soft he does something like that.

  95. Devastron Devastron says:

    So long sidekick, lol. He was quickly becomming annoying anyway.

  96. rayclark rayclark says:

    sylar is my fave character. i still think hes gonna go back though.

  97. boutux boutux says:

    that my name is earl promo looks kick ass funny

  98. superchuck superchuck says:

    I laughed at the ER commercial.  Classic!

  99. rayclark rayclark says:

    the paintings still gonna come true i think. cuz now hiro gets to be in the ep

  100. rayclark rayclark says:

    danny glover as the father….freaking awesome

  101. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    And there was the painting.

  102. rayclark rayclark says:

    yea HIRO…and painting totally came true

  103. piscespaul piscespaul says:

    I would have loved had she said "no I don’t know what these crazy people keep talking about "

  104. hakaider hakaider says:

    the non-world ends paintings always happen

  105. rayclark rayclark says:

    claire is the ultimate form of teenage rebellion

  106. velvet velvet says:

    he got away from a swat team in a wood paneled station wagon!!!

  107. rayclark rayclark says:

    nathans totally showing her his powers or making tracy show her powers

  108. superchuck superchuck says:

    Man, they really DO need more funding.  Cheapo bolts.

  109. boutux boutux says:

    nathan says "these ppl" like he isnt one of them. what a disappointment he turned out to be

  110. rayclark rayclark says:

    called that one

  111. Superyan Superyan says:

    that was um no pun intended… cool!

  112. rayclark rayclark says:

    @boutux: agreed

  113. tlavan tlavan says:

    Why would she do that?

  114. superchuck superchuck says:

    That was the dumbest thing she could’ve done.  But then again, she’s dumb.

  115. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Well, that was… cold.

    Thank you! I’ll be here all week!

  116. RobAbsten RobAbsten says:

    Moria Kelley is getting long in the tooth. Long indeed.

  117. boutux boutux says:

    save the tax payer save the world. lmao

  118. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @tiavan: They’ve got her anyway and they aren’t letting her go.  So why not?

  119. Devastron Devastron says:

    That was a dumb scene. She froze him purely for plot purposes unless she is just really stupid and mean which she hasn’t really been.

  120. boutux boutux says:

    if she was gonna do the she had to go balls out and freeze everyone in that place. move quickly one touch and she can take as many of them out and try to get away. she didnt even try…lame.

  121. rayclark rayclark says:

    NOW she believes

  122. rayclark rayclark says:

    totally backed him up. the mom lives in a fantasy life…come on mom wise up

  123. Devastron Devastron says:

    "I’m really sorry you had to see that, but it was damn convenient for me."

  124. superchuck superchuck says:

    "And you should really stop believing him, Mom"

  125. rayclark rayclark says:

    claire stop causing trouble between your mom and dad

  126. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @Devastron: Being incarcerated for the rest of your life can make you want to lash out at your captors.

  127. superchuck superchuck says:

    AwkWARD!!!!

  128. rayclark rayclark says:

    mom is NOT happy at all. they are gonna get a divorce or hes gonna hit her

  129. superchuck superchuck says:

    Why would he let you escape again when you already served his purpose?

  130. rayclark rayclark says:

    I CALLED IT SYLAR WENT bACK

  131. superchuck superchuck says:

    When the van is a-rockin’

  132. boutux boutux says:

    nice sylar save his protege

     

  133. velvet velvet says:

    they’re just now leaving the diner? what’d they stay around to have doughnuts instead of chasing sylar?

  134. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Man, beaten to death with a laptop is not a dignified way to go.

  135. superchuck superchuck says:

    He woulda been more badass is he just woulda left him, but we’ll see what he has in store for the kid.

  136. piscespaul piscespaul says:

    damn

  137. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    Wow, Sylar came back.

  138. Devastron Devastron says:

    Damn, I was afraid he was gonna go save him.

    And as for her freezing that dude, didn’t she see her buddy from the DHS standing there? They seemed to make a point of them seeing each other. If she had just gotten captured she would have been rescued by her.

  139. I wish the kid would of just ignited all the bullets in the guns and saved himself. kind of setting him up to being a punk.

  140. boutux boutux says:

    if tracy knew what nathan was doing why did she do exactly what he expected her to do. ugh die tracy die. such a waste of a character.

  141. superchuck superchuck says:

    Those are some cool iphone apps.

  142. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @Devastron: You don’t get rescued from places like that run by shady black ops units.  Not by bureaucrats.

  143. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Boy, they sure didn’t waste much time seperating all the heroes again, did they?

  144. rayclark rayclark says:

    i think rebel might be wireless….

    wow hes moving out

  145. piscespaul piscespaul says:

    rebel = Daphne?…speedster tend not to die

  146. superchuck superchuck says:

    Hiro, what’s NOT a message from destiny?

     

    And do we think Rebel is someone we know? 

  147. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    HRG just got Leo McGarryed.

  148. rayclark rayclark says:

    wow that really got me

  149. jorel3459 jorel3459 says:

    yeah.HRG got kicked out,i wonder why out of all the Petrelli’s Claire is the smart one

  150. superchuck superchuck says:

    This is such a complex relationship between HRG and Claire.  I’m kinda digging it.

  151. hakaider hakaider says:

    sad HRG makes me sad…

  152. jorel3459 jorel3459 says:

    he should have asked for a hug

  153. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    It really is a great relationship.

  154. superchuck superchuck says:

    Nice cover, sylar.

  155. rayclark rayclark says:

    sylar really wants a sidekick thats why he went back….oh oh is that a half smile i see??

  156. piscespaul piscespaul says:

    @conor will he start drinking in Cuba?

  157. hakaider hakaider says:

    I love plot-sensitive radio.

  158. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    I love that that song was on!

  159. boutux boutux says:

    sylar cant handle being a hero. so funny to see

  160. superchuck superchuck says:

    That’s a nice twist.

  161. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Nathan is living under like 14 layers of denial.  I love it.

  162. rayclark rayclark says:

    whoa…drugged??

  163. jorel3459 jorel3459 says:

    this hunter guy is quite intriguing,the whole letting Traci out on the sly just to get the lady to see Nathans point

  164. piscespaul piscespaul says:

    someone slipped him a mickey

  165. superchuck superchuck says:

    Oh, NICE!!!!

  166. rayclark rayclark says:

    WHOA!!!!!

  167. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    It’s a trap! Ha!

  168. And the heroes strike back

  169. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Hahaha!  Awesome!  Heroes’ revenge!

    GREAT ending.

  170. rayclark rayclark says:

    OMG AN HRG EP!!!

  171. hakaider hakaider says:

    HRG’s going to kill a lot of people next week…

  172. superchuck superchuck says:

    HRG episode next week!  Awesome!!!

  173. Superyan Superyan says:

    whoa

  174. boutux boutux says:

    the best part of the epi was the end. what a way to end it. still say last wk was better.

  175. jorel3459 jorel3459 says:

    So in ohter wrds,next week Parkman is going to be Emma Frost,lol. I wonder what is inside HRG’s head

  176. Devastron Devastron says:

    That ending helped redeem a somewhat lackluster episode. Next week should be awesome.

  177. piscespaul piscespaul says:

    badass

  178. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Next week looks fantastic.  Anytime you can focus on HRG and his motivations you’re in good shape, HEROES.

  179. rayclark rayclark says:

    I LOVE HRG EPS!!

  180. boutux boutux says:

    would love to stay and chat but i got work tomorrow. thanx for the fun boys. goodnite

  181. superchuck superchuck says:

    Well, the heroes are back to being all split up, but I don’t really hate any of the story lines, which is an improvement.  Sylar and his sidekick were the best part of the episode, but next week looks to be awesome.

     

    Who is Rebel?!?!?!? 

  182. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @superchuck: Wait, didn’t you see the ending with Mohinder and parkman and Peter all togegther?  They only split up Hiro & Ando, and Claire.  But it seems like Rebel is going to bring them all back together.

  183. Gerhard Gerhard says:

    Why is this volume so much better?

  184. chrispcade chrispcade says:

    Well I’m glad to se that there are people in the government that are alarmed by what is going on. I like the new Aquaman, although we really don’t need any new heroes. Sylar’s story is being way stretched out, find his father allready! Oh and kill that kid, I hate him. Glad to see some actual things changing in the claire household, no haitian to make the bad things go away anymore. Much better then last week.

  185. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @chrispcade: They are building tension with Sylar’s search for his father.  If he found him right away you would lose the moments of discovery that Sylar keeps having about his father.

  186. MrPopular MrPopular says:

    Great Episode, heroes seems to be right back on track.  The only thing that I wish we could see was More AndoCycle.

  187. Crippler Crippler says:

    I wish the episode had ended with the Talking Heads.. but oh well.  Otherwise, a pretty good episode.  Had good moments.  Still a pretty haphazard storyline though.  Ando and Hiro in India?  Pretty much just plain dumb. 

  188. Ruo21 Ruo21 says:

    This was a fucking fantastic episode, and like Conor said next week is looking to trump it with a Noahcentric episode.

  189. JackBurton34 says:

    Wow, that’s tits!. I love the bad ass Claire, especially since she shill breaks down when her father is looking out for her. Now it begins, Mohinder, Parkman, Peter put things into motion, Loving it.

     

    Wouldnt be nice if the "Rebel" was Claude?

  190. MaddieDaddy MaddieDaddy says:

    I agree with the consensus that the episode was really good and I won’t rehash everything that people have pointed out.  But I was curious about something.

    Nathan’s team of people have said several times that they have frozen bank accounts and all aspects of the various Heroes lives….so how is it that Ando and Hiro can get out of the country on an airplane? They can catch people by watching them thru street traffic cams but someone can buy a ticket and leave the country without them knowing??

     

    No big deal just something I noticed.  But definitely another good episode.
