Let's hope they get back to the quality of two weeks ago.
And I hope they reveal the weakest part of Danko. Right now it seems he's all work and that's it.

I just watched last week's, last night. It was good, but a bit uneven. It didn't help coming off the Daphne/Tracey episode. It is a bit strange that the whole episode he's berating Noah for his "one of us, one of them" method and then jumps at the chance to team up with Sylar.

Decent episode. I'd call it better than last week but certainly not as good as 2 weeks ago. So there we have it, Danko has some humanity in him, and Parkman owned him. That was good, but him dropping the gun and accepting to be shot was lame when he simply could have willed Danko to shoot himself or something. Hiro saved the day.
I like that all characters are heading together, similar to season 1, in this case ANgela and the kids and Noah. As for the whole Sylar getting mean and destroying him, that was pretty weak. Why even bother? Just kill him. That part made no sense at all. Why would Sylar waste his time on Noah who isn't a threat to him at all? IF Sylar really wants to round the heroes he shouldn't bother with him.
Good idea to have Mohinder leave to India, I hope that's the end of him. Script a plane crash or something.

Crap episode...I think someone hit the nail on the head last week when they said that any episode without Hiro and Matt is a good episode. Well, this definitely wasn't one of those episodes. And what the hell was with the goofy music playing in every scene with Hiro and Ando? These writers need to wake up and realize that they can't write comedy and need to stay to within their limits.

the show was ok but didn't the shocking ending make it worthwhile?

Sucky episode. Can't stand Danko. I was waiting for what the suprise is from Angela and that storyline was drag to the last minute.

Overall, I thought this was one of the better episodes of the season. I thought the idea of the shape shifter could lead to some interesting possibilities and was disappointed when he died so quickly. I'm glad they are utilizing his power with Sylar. However, it could get old really quick... always wondering if a character is really who they appear to be. It was neat to see Bennett become so unraveled during the show. He's usually so in control.
I liked how Parkman used his power creatively to get to Danko. The lack of creative use of powers is my of my biggest gripes. But I didn't like how they portrayed Parkman as potentially killing innocent people for revenge. Way, way out of line for a character that is supposedly one of the heroes.
I thought Ando's happy baby face was pretty funny.
I'm not exactly sure how Hiro found Parkman in Danko's apartment. Pretty contrived.

^^^Hiro or Ando said they got the address from Mohinder.
The big annoyance for me was Noah's wife, who out of the blue decides to show up. Huh? That was completely out of character. Pretty good episode otherwise.

So-So episode. But yeah, it was better than last week.
Noah was really great, I actually liked his "chess" match with Sylar.
Next week should be interesting. Did they mention that there are only 3 episodes left?

I guess the writers are running out of ways to annoy fans - so this week, they resorted to the ultimate annoyance, a screaming baby!

This shape shifting thing seems like a very bad idea to me. Where time shifting was fun, this is just annoying and really, really old. No Sir, I don't like.
The show peaked in season one and never came back.

I'm sick of the shapeshifting already. A power never got so old so quick with me, but I am tired of it. Danko needs to go, too. I enjoyed seeing him as Ray Fiske last week on the finale of Damages, but I never liked Danko at all.

Giving Sylar the shapeshifting power was a mistake. They've overpowered him again, and this power doesn't suit him. Now not only can he impersonate anyone, but if he happens to be discovered he can most likely kill everyone in the room. In the last thread we discussed how they had to make Peter an idiot when he became too powerful, with Sylar they just make him more insane.

I couldn't stay interested in this ep but there were some things that kinda got me like the pretty Russian chick, Matt finally using his powers in a badass way, and HRG losing it(god I hope he dies soon).
