How does Elle get her powers back and Peter is still without his?

Hiro showing up at the Bennet's to save the day was the highlight.

I think because Peter's was stolen before the eclipse. So the eclipse doesnt get them back.

They killed KB. Fucking insane.

So the ratings take a huge dip and the one person who most viewers like they kill off? Gee I can see why those two idiots got fired. Lets keep around Suresh though. Viewers love him. While were add it lets bring back Maya!

My Tivo cut this off early yet again, anyone know what happened after Hiro covered Claire's mouth on the roof and pointed to the comic page with HRG saying he wouldn't make a good father?

I think Hiro's dad said "don't worry, she's indestructible, drop her on her head whenever you feel like it..."

No idea why Elle did not fight back like she did the first time.

Better question.. why did Sylar remove Elle's skullcap if he already has her power?

Well, there goes that. KB was pretty much the only reason I had left to care.

I was thinking the same thing, what is the point? He can get powers another way and already has hers, like when Peter went crazy for a few minutes, he already had their powers and can read minds, so what is the point of trying to take people's skulls off? I really enjoy this show, however, that makes little sense. Elle should have done something, like she did the first time, do not just sit there and be killed.

I've been enjoying the show so far, but this one just sucked.

Yup, let's shoot Claire ONCE AGAIN, and ONCE AGAIN have her heal! Whee!

Let's rehash Hiro ONCE AGAIN! Whee!

Let's have everybody's powers reappear, and really, nothing's changed! Whee!

I think I know what the problem is: Tim Kring has no testicles. That can be the only reason. They must have been cut off. They used to kill characters with aplomb on this show. Now, they gotta keep the same ones on, over and over and over and over again.

And fuck, they had Maya back on.

I find it good they did not feel like killing off half the cast, there is too much death with media now days anyway, what is with people wanting so much death now days? I do not get it, what is the point of randomly just killing off characters? I rather the main characters live.

Claire really does need to stop being shot.

It's his MO. He's sending a message.

I'm just glad that they explained that these new issues of "9th Wonder" were done by Isaac and were published posthumously. That little thing has been bugging me, what with Isaac dying back in the first season.

I still love this show but I have to say that this one was a chore to sit through. Why did I care enough about the Haitian sub plot for them to devote 2 episodes to it? Could the writing and acting in the Parkman/CP girl plot have been worse? What are they doing with Sylar? His motivations seemingly change every week.

If you die without powers would the powers kick back in after you're dead?

Because it makes any plot line in which we are supposed to worry about characters dying have no believability. If they keep putting characters in harms way, and they keep getting injured, but fail to stay injured or even die, then why do we even care anymore?

That is the dumbest part. So future Peter gets kill by a gun because the Haitian blocked his power. Claire and Sylar are dead without their power but fucking back alive when they have their power return. WTF? I still love this show but they shouldn't pull shit outa their ass whenever they feel like it.

My thoughts exactly. I'm just trying not to think too hard so I can continue enjoying the ride.

It was absolute genius of Pa Petrelli to send someone to secretly spy on and betray a mindreader, a plan so crazy it somehow worked.

They do. Take a look around message boards.

I have really stood by this show so far but..

that episode was ridiculous and not just because they seemingly killed off Elle but that sure as hell didn't help what I thought about the episode either.

I hope it wasnt what it looked like or my interest in the show really just hit the skids.

The Heroes writers seem to just forget what happened, from one episode to the next.
