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 exciting 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.

  45. stop a wedding…thats not a good idea Hiro

  46. That’s a bold statement from a total stranger.

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

  48. Hiro jealous of Ando, I love it!

  49. wait…where’d wedding lady come from?

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

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

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

  57. @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.

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

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

  77. sylar looks like the kid is driving him nuts

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

  90. Bad@$$! 

  91. hes gonna go back i think

  92. sylar sold the kid out

     

  93. Just Sylar, apparently.

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

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

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

  97. that my name is earl promo looks kick ass funny

  98. I laughed at the ER commercial.  Classic!

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

  100. danny glover as the father….freaking awesome

  101. And there was the painting.

  102. yea HIRO…and painting totally came true

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

  104. the non-world ends paintings always happen

  105. claire is the ultimate form of teenage rebellion

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

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

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

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

  110. called that one

  111. that was um no pun intended… cool!

  112. @boutux: agreed

  113. Why would she do that?

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

  115. Well, that was… cold.

    Thank you! I’ll be here all week!

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

  117. save the tax payer save the world. lmao

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

  119. 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. 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. NOW she believes

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

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

  124. "And you should really stop believing him, Mom"

  125. claire stop causing trouble between your mom and dad

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

  127. AwkWARD!!!!

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

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

  130. I CALLED IT SYLAR WENT bACK

  131. When the van is a-rockin’

  132. nice sylar save his protege

     

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

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

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

  136. damn

  137. Wow, Sylar came back.

  138. 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. 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. Those are some cool iphone apps.

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

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

  144. i think rebel might be wireless….

    wow hes moving out

  145. rebel = Daphne?…speedster tend not to die

  146. Hiro, what’s NOT a message from destiny?

     

    And do we think Rebel is someone we know? 

  147. HRG just got Leo McGarryed.

  148. wow that really got me

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

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

  151. sad HRG makes me sad…

  152. he should have asked for a hug

  153. It really is a great relationship.

  154. Nice cover, sylar.

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

  156. @conor will he start drinking in Cuba?

  157. I love plot-sensitive radio.

  158. I love that that song was on!

  159. sylar cant handle being a hero. so funny to see

  160. That’s a nice twist.

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

  162. whoa…drugged??

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

  164. someone slipped him a mickey

  165. Oh, NICE!!!!

  166. WHOA!!!!!

  167. It’s a trap! Ha!

  168. And the heroes strike back

  169. Hahaha!  Awesome!  Heroes’ revenge!

    GREAT ending.

  170. OMG AN HRG EP!!!

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

  172. HRG episode next week!  Awesome!!!

  173. whoa

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

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

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

  177. badass

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

  179. I LOVE HRG EPS!!

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

  181. 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. @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. Why is this volume so much better?

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

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

  189. 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. 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.
