How amazing was this episode, the back-story of everyone! The Nicole and Jessica issue just took an interesting turn. The suggestive girl gets a name; Eden. Bennets intentions are still uncertain and who is this man that he seems to keep in the shadows. Quite a shocking revelation on the Sylar story!

I can’t help but feel that this Linderman person has a bigger part to play.

Okay about Sylar, wtf is his power? 'Cause he opened that guys head up then took his power....how?

I think sylers pwoers is he can absurb othe rpeoples powers, liek peter, but then can keep them , notice the enpisis on the brain at the start, so i mguessing the brains of who syler eats he then has ther epwoers.

That's how I understand it too. Notice that when he went after the cheerleader jackie he was able to slice her head open with his finger, this is apparently another absorbed power that he didn't have in the 6months ago episode, Because he had to bash that telekinetic guy's head open with that crystal paper weight to get at his brains. All in all I thought it was a very cool episode. I like how Syalr is shaping up and I also still really like Hiro's story. Bouncing back and forth in time is sweet.

It was kinda sad how Hiro couldn't save that girl however much he tried... Which means he went up against Sylar at least once.

i too loved this episode. It is great to see the backstory behind the charactors, and how they had already had some interaction in the past. This show just keeps getting better and better. Personally, i am just "dying" to see what happens to Peter and Sylar now...[thumbup]

[Lillie_Steins]

The episode was great! I'm just sad that the season is coming to an end, only 3 more episodes!!! What am I going to watch after Heroes and Dexter ( probably my favorite show atm)?!?!

[teewHettive]

So, there's next week's episode and then no new ones until after the new year, right?

I've gotten into the show more each week.

[Biradallo]

Yeah, this was my personal favorite episode.
It was great to see a little bit of backstory, and how people found out about their powers.

[spoiler warning!!!]
As with Natahan Petrlli. He knew he could fly long before his brother said anything!
Niki's backstory was interesting too. To know Jessica was her dead baby sister. While I still think her power is the "worst", it is nice to see where it stems from and what exactly it is.

Correct. And I'm sure next week's episode will be a "cliffhanger", to make us all anxious for the next season. [yes]

[Lictimind]

is the season already over? or is it a split season like lost, where they do a few episodes before the new year and then wait and do the rest after so they can encompass sweeps in there? Would the episodes after Jan 1 be considered season 2?

Eh? Went up against Sylar at least once? I don't get how you came to that conclusion... he couldn't save her in the present from Sylar, but in the past, he lost control of his power and randomly teleported back to Japan. By the time he could return again, it was too late (this doesn't explain how he got back from Japan... Hiro said he took the bus...).

Anyway, Sylar literally eats the brains? I suppose that would explain the way people are found after he "deals" with them, and why he's going after them all (to "absorb" their powers). He mentioned to the telekinetic guy (right before he got bashed) that he was "broken," like how Sylar can analyze watches. Is that of significance, as if he could actually read the guy's brain, or was it just a cheesy phrase?

But which characters interacted in the past? I didn't see any of them together -- it was all individual.

I think Sylars power is the ability to understand how things work and ultimately fix them if broken (like he did with Chandras watch when he came in). Its this understanding of how 'things' work that allows him to see the powers of others (that and the fact he saw 'the' list). Because he understands how these powers work and are connected to a persons mind, he can somehow 'absorb' them or apply them to himself. Thats my take on it.

The police officer and Eden (Bennets suggestive girl).

Then why kill all the "super"people and cut their heads in half?

[Broker15015]

What I think is cool is that you cannot tell exactly who is good and who is bad. You have a small handful of characters that you are pretty certain about. Then you have some characters that are having a hard time struggling with developing their powers and finding their place in the world.

I like that the show is very slow. That the stories are more about why or who rather than simply finding the bad guy and stopping them like a typical comic book movie. So, I think they are utilizing the medium to it's finest.

I don't like this new "fall and spring" season idea that shows are doing.

Look at 24. Straight through. Olympics are on? 24 is on. President is on? 24 is on. Jesus comes back to earth and the book of revelation is coming true? 24 is on. God I love that show too.

He takes the watches apart to understand how they work too... He probably studies their brains. (altough I like to think that he eats them, makes the show a lot scarier [thumbup] )

Maybe he just has sex with them. Necro-brain-phelia.

This show is absolutely fantastic, i thought there was going to be 12 episodes originally planned for this series and not 11?

[kSmica]

Maybe he needs physical contact with the source? Just like he had to open the watches to understand their workings?
