Heroes – S03E20 – Cold Snap


Volume Four: Fugitives

Tonight’s episode – Cold Snap

Bryan Fuller (Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies) returns to scripting duties on the show tonight and advanced word is strong.  Fuller is one of my favorite writer/producers currently working in television, so I’m excited.

Only five more episodes for the season after tonight!

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

  9. Crippler Crippler says:

    Theme for this episode – Who Marions the Marionettes?

  10. boutux boutux says:

    wait what happened to sylar?

  11. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    WHy would Sylar do that?

  12. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    @conor – me too, and I collect knives and swords.

  13. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Hah – a shaving/razor theme!

  14. Crippler Crippler says:

    So, Cold Snap – Len Snart analogue appearance? 

    SIGH..  I wish. 

  15. Gabe Gabe says:

    rats, I’m such a failure, I didn’t go to the live feed until now.   

  16. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Whoever directed this likes close-ups.

  17. rayclark rayclark says:

    the hunter is so awesome

  18. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    Nice one, Hunter.

  19. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    All TV shows should have people pop in from out of frame to randomly taser people.  It’s fun.

  20. rayclark rayclark says:

    shes learning how to overcome the sun

  21. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    @conor- goes with the razor theme…they use a lot of slice shots.

  22. boutux boutux says:

    oh my i think i’m gonna start loving ali larter’s character for the 1st time.

  23. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @psyguy411: You mean jump cuts?

  24. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    see, this is why ice is awesome!

  25. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    @conor – Well, I mean when you usually just do a close up on on hand, like from the wrist down, I believe it’s generally called a slice shot. At least my former TV/Film production teachers would, haha.

  26. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    im hoping rebel isnt micah

  27. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Oh no! Micah is in the credits.  Rebel must be Micah.

  28. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    crap. saw that one coming like from the beginning

  29. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    There’s the word razor, too…

  30. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    Nice, the baby has a power

  31. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Ando and Hiro should open a babysitting service.

  32. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    heh, lead based toys

  33. piscespaul piscespaul says:

    prophecy fail

  34. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Angela cleverly out-witted the men who didn’t cover both sides of the car.

  35. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    i think having her in front of the lamps was a ploy to get her all sweaty

  36. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    Help everyone, damn you! Not just the important ones!

  37. boutux boutux says:

    i love parkman

  38. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    You only get rescued if you’re part of the main cast.

  39. Crippler Crippler says:

    lead-based toys… hehe

  40. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    jedi mind trick!

  41. Crin Crin says:

    Could rebel Micah??

  42. boutux boutux says:

    i wish they would have a commercial free hr of heroes.

  43. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    @crin

    he totally is

  44. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    Commercials make the world go round.

     

  45. velvet velvet says:

    doesn’t parkman get nervous really easy and not use his power so well? i guess he still had some sedation on board.

  46. RipperSix RipperSix says:

    @Crin Yesss. I waas thinking it must be Micah. Goood.

  47. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    Unless Rebel is the baby…wouldn’t see that really weird thing coming.

  48. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    HRG is a gifted mimic.

  49. Crippler Crippler says:

    Wayyyy back when I used to work retail, we generally frowned upon two people being in  the change room at one time.  Generally.. for just this reason!  Stupid sexy fugitives. 

  50. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    I hope Tracy leads HRG to rebel just so he can put a bullet in his head.

  51. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    creepy little baby

  52. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Baby Genesis Device. Genius.

  53. Crippler Crippler says:

    1) Baby Genesis device is funny.

    2) Scary monkey toys do NOT belong in a baby’s room.  No good ever comes from them! 

  54. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    they are vessels for satan!

  55. boutux boutux says:

    the gay asian thing again. god!!

  56. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    i wish atms talked to me

  57. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Creeeeeeeeeeeeepy ET homage.

  58. zombox zombox says:

    Why do Hiro and Ando continue to get played for bad humor stchicks?

  59. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    Jeses, Micah.

  60. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @zombox: Are you kidding? That scene was one of the most emotional we’ve seen out of this show.

  61. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    @conor

    e? must have missed that…. then again i was terrified of that movie as a child

  62. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    Run him over taxi…

  63. boutux boutux says:

    micah hit puberty nice. i think we found rebel.

  64. Crippler Crippler says:

    @zombox – because they’re the only thing funny on the show.  It’s them or nothing.

  65. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Micah can join Walt from LOST in the Child Actors Who Got Really Awkwardly Grown Up By Season Three Club.

  66. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    lol

  67. boutux boutux says:

    @ conor…wasted airtime. more and more i feel like i can do with the gay asian boys. so not funny

  68. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    That was an awesome line from an Upper East Sider.

  69. zombox zombox says:

    @crippler: Then I choose nothing.

  70. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    I quite enjoy Hiro and Ando even if they seem to have no idea what to do with them. They are funny and have great chemistry.

  71. piscespaul piscespaul says:

    remote control baby!

  72. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    Oh great baby’s mom is a user and has a human remote control. That could make for bad parenting.

  73. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    maybe the baby charged by ando gives hiro powers back?

  74. danj says:

    haduken!!

  75. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    yeah!

  76. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    Haduken!

  77. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    When Hiro and Ando don’t have humor/character moments…their other stuff works, too….like this.

  78. boutux boutux says:

    nice…baby parkman jump started hiro

  79. zombox zombox says:

    I don’t think they’re that funny. I think the actors do have good chemistry. But camp and goofball comedy is not for me.

  80. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    It’s a good thing they had a wheelbarrow handy!

  81. Crippler Crippler says:

    You know, the Parkman baby isn’t THAT special.. my little guy figured out how to turn on the tv last week.  So he turns it on, and off, and then on, and then off and then… ad naseum.  So, there.  ;-)

  82. boutux boutux says:

    psyguy411 love the baby remote control idea. not bad parenting if he would do it on his own anyway right?

  83. Spooky Spooky says:

    Does it matter anymore, when it’s followed by shit?

  84. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @Spooky: What are you refering to, exactly?

  85. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    Daphne has come back to me…

  86. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    gwen stafani? lol

  87. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    oh wow a character moment!

  88. zombox zombox says:

    Feh. On again off again, snore snore romance. Bad chemistry between the actors. Never feels like they mean it.

  89. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Well, that’s a lot of effort for nothing, Matt! I hope you learned your lesson.

  90. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    So… is that it for Daphne?

  91. greendart32 greendart32 says:

    puberty strikes again!

  92. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    Wow! Tough crowd, haha.

  93. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Micah should team up with Baby Parkman.

  94. Crippler Crippler says:

    Doesn’t mama Petrellli have some powers?  Wouldn’t this be a good time to break them out?

  95. zombox zombox says:

    Momma Petrelli is screwed.

  96. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    That’s the most ineffectual doorman I’ve ever seen.

  97. piscespaul piscespaul says:

    very cool

  98. zombox zombox says:

    Ah, now that was a cool moment.

  99. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Awesome.

  100. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    Peter will forever be a Mama’s boy.

  101. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @Crippler: Angela is a precog.

  102. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    Did we drop the razor theme??? Not that it matters.

  103. Crippler Crippler says:

    @Conor – Exactly.  She’s dramatically precognitive.  If the script requires it, she has it.  If not, like today, she passes through blissfully unaware. 

  104. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    Nice…. very ice.

  105. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @Crippler: I imagine that precognition is like every other ability, you have to either choose to actively use it (or it happens in the dream state). 

  106. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Very cool…

    That’s a pun!

  107. zombox zombox says:

    Ouch.

  108. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    WHOA!

  109. Crippler Crippler says:

    T-1000!  ?

  110. piscespaul piscespaul says:

    damn that was actually a very cool scene

  111. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    About time Tracy went down for good.

     

  112. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    Blink Blink

  113. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Hahah – not dead!

  114. zombox zombox says:

    My bet is that she’s liek Uceman circa 200 and can reform herself from water molecules.

  115. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    I actually kind of like Tracy, so I’m glad she’s not dead.

  116. boutux boutux says:

    that is so wrong hiro. stealing from a baby…funniest moment of the nite

     

  117. zombox zombox says:

    Damn, I need to learn to type. Like Iceman, Circa 2000.

  118. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Daphne is about to get sung to by Ewan McGregor.

  119. zombox zombox says:

    @conor: lol — Swoon.

  120. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    What the?

  121. boutux boutux says:

    how the hell is parkman flying? unless this is a dream

  122. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    I think Parkman is making her think this is all happening.

  123. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    Ah, of course…. mindscape.

  124. zombox zombox says:

    Oh, that’s some heartbreaking shit right there.

  125. boutux boutux says:

    i was right. poor parkman

  126. piscespaul piscespaul says:

    :(

  127. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

  128. Crippler Crippler says:

    Wow!  Ok, THAT was pretty cool. 

  129. ReiMehari ReiMehari says:

    That was messed up.

     

    I love it!

  130. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    Are they gonna pull the Ghostbusters 2 stunt?

  131. zombox zombox says:

    Still hate Daphne’s character, but at least she had one really cool moment in the story. I guess that proves there are no bad characters, just bad writers.

  132. boutux boutux says:

    noooooooooooooooooooooo. sylar working with the devil instead of killing him. i hate the hunter

  133. piscespaul piscespaul says:

    well done episode

  134. boutux boutux says:

    i’m disappointed for 1 reason. at the end of epi 19 sylar was hiding in the hunter’s house which made for an interesting cliff hanger that delivered nothing. i at least wanted a confrontation, a mental bitch slap…smtng! instead we got the puppet master…oooooh!! aside from that it was an awesome epi, lots to talk about with my only 2 friends at work tomorrow.

     

    later peep

  135. I pledged to never have watched this show again….But like the rest of you, a return of Bryan Fuller made me intrigued. One man, one single man should not have changed this show. That defies logic…

    But….I watched this episode, and I loved every second of it. Hooked me in from the beginning and I actually CARED for the characters involved. Unlike the previous seasons where it’s just too much going on and no time at all making us care. There were some problems, it wasnt perfect. Like the reveal of Micah as this ‘rebel’ (I havent watch this entire second half so I am a little lost) didnt seem to be that of a shocker. Something like that of a reveal should have tense music playing and a commercial break….but here it was something blown over and that was it. (Maybe I have been watching Lost too much when it comes to reveals).

    So yeah….this was good, a step up better then what I saw in the first half of season 3. Maybe I’ll give this a shot again next week.

  136. Spooky Spooky says:

    Late as shit, but better late than never…

    @Conor: I meant, that this episode could be the best ever, because the next episodes will be as shitty as those before. Therefore, it doesn’t matter anymore.

  137. biftec biftec says:

    I feel like this show was never this good.   Yay for bringing back Micah.  Yay for killing off Daphne.  Yay for remembering that Matt Parkman has a wife and a baby.

  138. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @Spooky: We must be watching different shows, then.

  139. roadcrew1 roadcrew1 says:

    Love:  Toddler Touch and Go

    Hated: The dreamscape part

    Love: What the dreamscape accomplished.

  140. MisterJ says:

    When the dreamscape started I was totally distracted by the poor sunset background, it just seemed bad, then Matt flew and the lightbulb went on.  That was damn near perfect execution.

    I have one question that has been bothering me since last night, HOW DID PETER KNOW WHERE ANGELA WAS??  Did I miss something or what??

  141. zombox zombox says:

    Maybe he’s been stalking her? Maybe Rebel warned him? Maybe it will be explained next week.

  142. MisterJ says:

    @zombox

    Thanks, I was just making sure that I did not miss anything obvious.  Rebel warning him would make perfect sense.
