What a fantastic episode.
However, when they killed off HRG I could see them bringing him back from a mile away. My only thought is, if Mohinder just wanted to stop him from killing Bob, why shoot the guy in the eye? I mean, wouldn't a non-lethal shot to the arm have that effect? Or maybe he just has really bad aim. And that must have been one of the quickest back-from-the-dead experiences for a tv character, bringing him back after 10 minutes.
With only a couple of episodes left, is it just me, or does anyone think that the Sylar/Wonder Twins plot will go completely by the wayside and left unresolved until the next season?

I think Elle is a good character. I think they will slowly reveal more of her past and how her upbringing was opposite of Claire. Plus her sassiness is kinda fun.

Elle ranks right up there as one of the most annoying characters on the show. What is the point of her pawing all over Mohinder and then asking "can I keep him?" I was the same thing she did to Peter. Annoying as all hell. I had hoped that Mohinder put the bullet into her head, but then I remembered she had signed a contract for more episodes than what we've seen so far.

You guys are out of your minds.

The real interesting question is who brought him back? Adam? Bob? Claire? Was Mohinder in on it? Was Noah in on it?

Instead he lived in a cheap somewhat slummy apartment.

Once again, a greatly enjoyable episode. I think I have to watch through it one more time since parts of it took me off-guard. I love that they basically stated that Hiro will NOT be trying to undo anymore deaths. That removes the "reset button" that someon mentioned.
Oh, another defect in the "perfect girl" that so many guys here get excited about is that her nostrils are not symmetrical (the same size).

Add me to the list of people annoyed with Elle. Kristen Bell is a terrible actress, and she's not particularly attractive. Time to "cut the power" so the speak.

Yeah, like I believe Mohinder could pop a guy through the eye from several feet away. He probably can't even find his car keys without asking Molly for help.
What a tard.

To those of you who think Kristen Bell is unattractive, you're crazy, I tell you! 
I think that any episode of Heroes that doesn't feature the annoying Wonder Twins is automatically a good one, since I can't stand their glacial storyline. I hope the next time we see them, they're lying on the ground with the tops of their heads cut off thanks to Sylar.
Isn't it obvious that Claire's blood was used to heal HRG?
After a lackluster start to the season, I think the show has picked up considerably the last three episodes.
When Hiro ran into his past self, I was wondering if they would recognize each other a la Jennifer in BTTF 2.
I'm thinking that as Elle finds out more about her past, she'll become more normal and less sadistic.
Is there going to be an episode with Ali, Hayden and Kristen all onscreen? So far, we've had at most 2 of them.

I missed this, what did HRG (I assume) tell her?
Also, how could she not use her electricity until a little bit after HRG released her for Claire?
I guess i wasn't paying enough attention last night.
