"One Of Us, One Of Them"

When four ruthless, powerful Villains, Knox, Flint, The German and Jesse bust into a bank and take hostages, Angela sends H.R.G. and his shocking new empowered partner in after them. Determined to derail a cataclysmic future Peter must first find what he lost along the way. Meanwhile, Hiro and Ando track Daphne and part of the formula to Germany but run afoul of The Haitian. Horrified by her ability, Tracy Strauss leaves Washington, D.C. to search for answers about Niki. A distraught Claire asks Meredith to teach her how to fight. As his romance with Maya intensifies, Suresh finds himself unprepared when his experiment yields some unexpected results.

From the synopsis:

Sounds like a good episode. Wonder how bad things will get with Suresh!

[The Fly] I'm getting.... better. [/The Fly]




Can't Wait!

Hopefully it will get back over 10M viewers, but considering how busy Monday's are, that might be a challenge.

I had forgotten about the Haitian. He a very convenient way for the writers to kill off the supposedly immortal heroes.

I also realized that the African dude in last week's episode has a similar power to Isaac's.

So, after spoilerizing it twice, the 5th post decides to just throw it all out there. Shazam!

I have to say that I don't get a good feeling about tonight's show given that synopsis. Hope I'm wrong.

Yeah, I'm anxious too. I guess we'll see soon enough.

:lol:

WTF? Mama Petrelli just had that girl killed by Sylar? Uh, very cruel.

So, we've got us a new Isaac Mendez on our hands? Meh. I'll wait to pass judgment a little bit longer on this African guy.

I like the African guy, but I hope he has a limited purpose. This show does not need new characters.

So far I'm mixed on this episode.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised so far, except that they've turned Hiro into a moron. Teleport, then argue, Hiro.

Wow. They're really screwing Micah over. I feel sorry for the character. They're essentially just abandoning his mom's story from last year, it seems. I don't care what happened to the woman, but it would have been more comforting to me if they had just written him off as well.

Some thoughts from tonight:

Yeah, Hiro is a bumbling idiot. Getting sick of his childish ways.

I'm hoping they can prolong the Noah/Sylar thing a bit, I think it adds a nice new twist.

Ando & Hiro in jail, eh? What's the chance we come across Ando's power within the next few episodes?

Nice to see Claire suffer. Looks like she can die, just in "creative" ways. And this made me think of another - Tracey freezes her and shatters her into a million pieces. I think that would take care of her.

Glad to see Peter back out of that body, I wasn't going to be happy with him just going around shouting at people.

Parkman can paint the future now? He ate something, then listened to sounds (or perhaps a lack of sounds?) and he went Isaac. Interesting.

Dr. Zimmerman "created" Niki/Jessica/Tracey/Barbara?


Overall, not too bad. The series does what it's meant to do - giving you just enough but still leaving you wanting more. I'll stay with Heroes a little bit longer I guess.

Yup. He's an idiot. His story was the weakest last year too. I liked this episode a lot more than the first one. Didn't have big Mohinder. Nikki was likeable and Noah was awesome.

The scene with Claire and her mom was worthless. While I saw a lot of flaws, I saw a lot of room for good storytelling too.

I have my fingers crossed.

good episode... i thought it was fine for what it was...keep the big picture moving... show some of micah....

one thing is for certain... how did parkman get those powers?

I wonder if Parkman isn't just entirely within his own head.

How did he get to Africa, anyway? I don't recall that from the S2 finale.

Nice change of pace from last week's jam packed premiere. I liked it! Plus, Hayden P. Dripping wet=awesome.

near the beginning of the S3 premiere
Future Peter sent him there because he found out that he was the shooter, same time that Future Peter sent Present Peter into the shouters body

This show is a train wreck.

What happened to flying boy from S2?

How did Nikki die? I don't remember her dying.

And what's in the paper box Claire has with her?

The building she was in blew up last season, surprised she wasn't burnt crispy or in pieces but I guess they needed Tracy to see her.

The box I'm assuming the profiles of the Level 5 and so on villains. Won't be surprised if she meets up with Knox since he got away.
