Well now that Marvel is owed by Disney, I wouldn't be surprised if that did happen once the merger settles.

I thought I'd read somewhere that Hiro will actually do something that messes a bunch of what has happened and undoes some of it (I suspect that Nathan may be one of the character resurrected by this - no surprise since how could they completely kill off a major character like that?). In fact I wouldn't be surprise if a great deal of "fucked up shit" from previous seasons didn't get changed/erased.

Maybe he'll go back and convince Fonzie not to jump that shark.

I don't think it's just Sylar's memories, it's his entire consciousness.

I don't think it's Sylar at all and that Parkman has just lost it battling with his guilty conscience. He's turned into Gollum/Smeagol.

No doubt. The whole Parkman/Sylar story reminds me of the Prof X/Magneto and Onslaught story line.

The only good things about this episode were Sylar saying "that's the second Parkman I've made scream tonight" (close enough) that made me LOL and the end.

That is most likely what they are trying to do, however I do not believe someone could have another persons consciousness in them, regardless of how I feel that is most likely what they are doing.

I thought that as well, how could anyone else in his own mind have any power over him? Not sure why he would feel bad about messing with Sylar, now feeling bad about making Sylar into Nathan, sure. (Still not Nathan)

I enjoyed most of it. I'm actually enjoying the Sylar/Parkman thing. Claire was a big, 'meh. And what was Tracy getting all emotional over Jeremy for? She'd known him for all of 5 minutes, in which time he killed a man in cold blood in front of her eyes.

I didn't buy for a second that drinking was affecting Sylar. I thought he was playing Parkman from the get-go, just like with the little girl under the stairs.

Sorry, wait... but you DON'T have any trouble believing someone can fly or turn into water or time travel? Okay... :lol:

Thing is... Parkman suppressed Sylar's mind and super-imposed Nathan's over it. How and why Sylar is now within Parkman makes no sense. But then this is Heroes. A lot of shit doesn't make sense.

Seems pretty clear why from what he did at the end of last season.

Wait, "Charlie" is that chick from "Glee"? Wow!
I think she was also in Paul Blart Mall Cop.

NBC is considering having Heroes wind down this year to a Series conclusion...
http://behindthescreensblog.com/2009...-heroes-rumor/

Which is fine with me. It's becoming a chore to watch and these storylines are getting d-u-l-l.

I'd be fine with that too rather than them canceling it. Of course NBC really needs to be ENDING shows since their remaining schedule is so full of hits. -ohbfrank-

NBC is essentially trying to start-over next year.

Well again, good luck with that. How many new shows did they schedule this season that are hits? Trauma? Mercy? Meanwhile they drop shows like Scrubs and Medium. They deserve fourth place.

No shows on NBC are 'hits'. Gaspin is going to try and build a whole new network next year.

Those are far from ratings hits. They may be fan favorites (or critic favorites), but other shows on other networks destroy those in ratings.

NBC is no longer programming to compete, they are programming just to stay afloat financially.

I completely agree. That having been said...Parkman can go away now. I'm just really, really tired of his sad sack routine. I've got nothing against Grunberg, but Parkman is a loser. Have him disappear to take care of Molly, who should be living with him in the first place, but we're not supposed to think about that.

Of course not, all that makes sense within the universe this exists in. :D
