I may start recording the show so I can fast forward through it from now on.

Disappointing episode after Fallout, which was great. It seemed to just remind everybody of what each person's powers were. As hot as Ali Larter is, I wish they would stop showing her stupid scizho scenes. By the end of the episode when we were watching Claire try and kill herself at that contrsuction site again, I was rolling my eyes at the irony.

She's amazing on Carnivale and in movies (effective as hell in 21 Grams despite the small part), but she is painfully bland on this show.

Just finished watching this latest episode. Thinking about the Hiro / Dinosaur painting being somewhat off, I wonder if they encounter someone with shape-shifting powers a la Beastboy that Hiro ends up fighting?

Plus, Clea DuVall is a fairly in-demand character actress so I don't see her being a regular.

I think they should work in some sort of all-female prison angle with Nikki, except instead of one of the other prisoners making advances on her, Jessica would be the one trying to seduce her.
For example, all the other prisoners would be wondering what's going on while she's trying to grope herself in the shower at the same time she's trying to resist.
Alas, it's network TV and there's no way they'll allow such a thing to get my interest in her subplot which has failed to catch my attention from the start.

I can see the creator of this show watching X-Men and saying I know how you could do a Beginning story. It'd work as a TV show. I wonder if i can steal it and get away with it. I don't care what anyone says this show has no orignality in any way, shape or form. It steals an idea and then sets it at the beginnning of the mutants. Whatever. But the level of interest in this show when it's blatant rip off of someone else's idea is disappoointing. But the public never ceases to amaze me at the amount of sh*t they can be swallow and then smile.

I still think it's a great show. I like how the characters appear to be bad then turn out good or vise versa. My concern is that they're going to drag this show out like Lost.......hopefully not

Speaking of Lost, the next time Peter has one of his exploding dreams where the whole cast is there with him, I wish they'd show Michael running down the street screaming "WAAAAAALLLLLLT!"

Nikki + DL + kid = boring. I hope they get weaved into the greater plot pretty soon. As it is, I almost want to fast forward through all of it.
I enjoyed the rest of it, despite not much happening.

This was an ok episode. It was kind of slow, but I think that's because they were trying to make a re-cap episode for potentially new viewers, without really doing a complete re-cap episode.
Plus, am I the only person who just wants to hold Peter down and shave his head? I absolutely can't stand his bangs always getting in his face!

Just watched it this morning. Looks like things are moving along as normal. I wasn't surprised by anything. Well that is not completely true I was surprised at where they were at in the show. I didn't think the bad guy would still be locked up. I didn't think nikki would ever get to jail. That sort of thing. And I'm not to clear how Bomb man got to Nevada.

Baron, that's my major beef with these online comics. I have no problem with supplementing the show with online comics. but it shouldn't hurt the show. if the information moved to the comics (how sylar was subdued, how radioactive ted escaped the authorities) leaves plot holes in the show, that's a bad thing.
