The best part of the episode was the "Slow Burn" Sprint ad where Lydia's daughter tells her she killed someone and Lydia whips out her cell and starts texting.

Seriously, how many times have the "good guys" had Sylar down and not kill him? Yes, I understand its because his character is popular. But, c'mon. The guy is becoming unstoppable.

Yeah, that is annoying in an unintentionally hilarious way.

Remember a year or so ago when they pretty much a made a Nissan Rogue a character on the show?

If it comes back for another season, maybe Claire can get a job a Pizza Hut so they can work Pizaa Hut into every single episode. "Would you like to try one of the new Meatball P'Zone's, dad? They're only $5.99 for a limited time only. And Sylar's trying to kill me again."

Pretty crappy episode for going into a mini-break. No cliffhangers, no resolution to anything, no revelations, no real developments of consequence. Utterly and completely boring. Then again, nothing signals a break in the series like Nathan "dying" for the twelfth time.

You joke but several USA shows have pretty much done that. They don't just show a glamor shot of the product, or name drop, but actually demonstrate a feature and have the characters talk about it for a few lines.

You didn't notice HRG's new GF using the Sprint finger-print thingy before the Duplicator dude came in?

The falling was...bad. Like really bad. How is Nathan 'dead'? Because he 'gave' up inside of Sylar? And what's so special about Clair's lesbian friend?

And where is Hiro? Where is Ando? Parkman? Suresh? Ugh.

Anybody know what the deal is with the sun and the carnival? Claire shows up during a well-lit afternoon, and as soon as she enters the carnival it's dark. That disappearing sun has happened in several episodes.

My thoughts on T-Bag's endgame:
Spoiler:
He's going to threaten to destroy a city, like his brother said he could. The carnies not only power him up, but will be his defensive army.

Then Tom Baldwin and NTAC show up to take him down.

He left NTAC. He's a priest now.

Not a bad season so far.. I am just glad they stopped featuring the shows on the woman with the power to see sound represented as colors. I get that they were trying to show a side of Peter and Hiro and a person newly coming into powers. But it lasted way too long for a power that really doesn't do anything and was not that interesting.

The carnival storyline has been the best part of the season so far.
