    Yeah, but he had to get the crap shocked out of him for like an hour in order to do it LOL

    Slice-n-Dice is quicker, and besides, it just *feels* better! ;)

    He did. I guess it's "the hunger".

    This ep was full of twists and some decent action but I'm getting really sick of Hiro's complete ineptitude. He was more resourceful as a ten year old boy.

    The scene between Hiro and his mother was the highlight of this ep for me...really well done.

    1)He was tired of toeing the line and decided to just be bad and give in to the "hunger".

    2)As Castor mentioned, Arthur got them Peter who had gotten them from Hiro.

    Also how the hell did Artur know where Claire and Hiro were? Did he jack Molly's powers too?

    Arthur's bag of powers includes both Precognition from Isaac via Peter and Time travel from Hiro via Peter. That's how he found and transported to Hiro.

    At least while Hero is trapped in 92 he can make some sports bets back to the future style.

    OK, there is one thing that bothered me. At the end, Sylar says he won't kill Peter because he doesn't have anything he needs or wants. But he killed Elle even though he had her power. And while they didn't show it, they led you to believe that Sylar also killed the other office workers who walked in on him getting the "lie detector" ability even though they didn't have any powers. It doesn't quite jive with the statement he made to Peter.

    That's to show that he's not completely horrible. Elle did have something he wanted... a list of all the "heroes" she knew when she worked for the company. Apparently he had to get inside her head to get them.

    I think he killed Elle because he "needed to know how it worked" even though he already had the power. I doubt he likes having to "feel" to use the power every time.

    I still don't understand how Peter and Sylar actually have the same ability if they're not related.

    He killed the office workers because he wanted their cake.

    But Sylar's ability was to look at something and figure out how it works.

    Not Peter's empathy power. But he does have it, it seems.

    He might be the first character with 2 inherent powers, unless they somehow explain it differently.

    Here was my point of confusion.

    If the Hatian suppression power was overwhelmed by the power of Mr. Petrelli and/or Sylar, shouldn't Mr. Petrelli have had Adam's healing power after the bullet hit him in the head? Shouldn't he come right back to life?

    BTW, reading the thread on another one of my favorite shows, made me think of how cool it would be if Sylar chose a 'middle path' and became sort of a superhero version of Dexter.

    I hope he stays dead and Adam comes back.

    No brain = no powers. They've touched on this in S1 and 2.
    ..and apparently some variant of Peter's empathy power. In S1, Inviso helped Peter realize he could re-tap into powers he'd been around by thinking about the person that had them. Sylar was coached by Pops Petrelli to gain Elle's power by sharing a heartfelt moment with her. But I guess "the hunger" wants things the old fashioned way. Whatever.

    I hate that I say this every week, but it's true. I really like this show and its promise. This can be a phenomenal show. But leaving it in the hands of "As the World Turns" writers is killing that promise and potential. The Sylar see-saw is beyond absurd at this point. Picka damn direction and go with it. (that said, I did get a kick out of his killer with a smile motif last night)

    Guys, we're getting lots of hate mail every week about how annoying Nikki's split personality is. They're saying we should have just casted Gollum for the part.
    Hmmm...let's scrap that angle then.
    How? A psychiatrist or something?
    Naw, we're not really going anywhere with Nikki and Micah anyway. Let's just kill her off and write out Micah.
    We're letting Ali go? A lot guys love her!
    Well....let's bring her back then, but as a long lost twin. We'll write the way we should've from the start. Just give her a new name or something.
    Done!

    Well IIRC, Mrs. P told Peter to shoot him in the back of the head right? that didn't happen so maybe he will come back...The tingle when he can tell if they lie or not is pretty cool...Sylar being bad just works...

    Arthur is not dead. There is no way it could be that easy. There is still half a season left. And when the hell is Peter going to have some damn powers again!

    I hope now that everyone can have powers, they make new villains. I am tired of the "fear makes me stronger" guy and the blue fire dude. Both of them are so stupid.

    Seriously.

    I like that dude but I'm sick of seeing his nostrils open up real wide to sniff all that fear. It's even worse when they over exaggerate it. (every time)
