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

  1. Every genre television series must have an episode titled "Tabula Rasa." It’s the rules. 

  2. mcbaker mcbaker says:

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

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

  4. zombox zombox says:

    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.

  5. zombox zombox says:

    Also, evening Paul.

  6. zombox zombox says:

    Berserker sighting. That Milo’s book.

  7. mcbaker mcbaker says:

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

  8. JesTr JesTr says:

    Sylar the carnie… A whole new evil.

  9. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    I like the guy who plays the "earth-bending" carnie leader…also, Ray Park having a speaking role.

  10. Devastron Devastron says:

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

  11. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    Umm, couldn’t Claire’s blood be a healing tool, or are we supposed to just forget that???

  12. zombox zombox says:

    That’s sp two seasons ago mcbaker!

  13. zombox zombox says:

    The Haitian’s opposite. He gives memories back!

  14. boutux boutux says:

    night everyone. this epi is already better than the last 3 combined.

  15. zombox zombox says:

    Evenin Boutux.

  16. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    To give life or death…that power would probably drive anyone insane.

  17. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    Sylar looks too weird with the longer hair and split bangs.

  18. boutux boutux says:

    poor acting there by zachary

  19. JesTr JesTr says:

    @mcbaker Emo-Sylar!!!

  20. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    @JesTr – That’s probably it, haha.

  21. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    How old is that kid suppose to be? His voice is cracking something fierce.

  22. zombox zombox says:

     

    @mcbaker That’s pretty much the power I wish for every day.

  23. zombox zombox says:

    That was dumb as hell Peter.

  24. boutux boutux says:

    awesome, he stop time but just too late

  25. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    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.

  26. JesTr JesTr says:

    Peter could have just teleported behind and stole his power.

  27. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    @JesTr – Except that they don’t know how that power works yet, so it might not work right for him.

  28. mcbaker mcbaker says:

    Called it!…think happy thoughts, boy.

  29. zombox zombox says:

    I like Hiro this season. They are finally using his wonderment and geniality properly.

  30. boutux boutux says:

    and if he touches him he will lose teleportation and time control

     

  31. zombox zombox says:

    About as subtle as a sledgehammer on glass run through an amp at midnight.

  32. zombox zombox says:

    Emo kid, I don’t need.

  33. zombox zombox says:

    No! Ernie!

  34. JesTr JesTr says:

    Does Ernie ever play a likeable character?

  35. zombox zombox says:

    @Jestr Ghostbusters.

  36. zombox zombox says:

    Well, that was an okay episode all in all. I’m not a fan of emo boy.

  37. boutux boutux says:

    i heart sylar. even emo sylar

  38. captbastrd captbastrd says:

    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. 

  39. Cheezdog Cheezdog says:

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

  40. MisterJ says:

    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?
