"Close to You" ep:
I love all Hiro and Ando scenes....and finally Dr.Suresh is back in the picture!
Also i'm kinda confused about Ando's ability. In the beginning I think they said he was like a 'power booster' for other abilities and now he has some form of electric power. Like Elle?? What exactly is his power? Did I miss an explanation somewhere?

It was introduced as a power booster at the end of Villains, then expanded on as "red lightning" in Fugitives. There was never really an explanation, although I'm sure Ando can still boost someone's power if he focused. Red lightning isn't normal, after all. The Hiro/Ando/Suresh scenes were indeed the best scenes of this week's episode.

Thanks fot the explanation. *karma*
I wasn´t that familiar with season 3 and just knew that Ando had this power boosting ability.
It would be nice if the writers clear up what Ando´s power exactly is.

Well brain activity is electrical and Ando has red lightning. Makes sense he could boost someone's ability (since the brain is where the powers are located). I'm sure they just don't want to confuse Ando's ability with little Matt Parkman's ability (the baby Parkman).

Pass/Fail ep:
I'm not sure if i'm in the minority here, but i was super excited to see Gretchen back and have Claire finally fess up her feeling to her. The "I want to hold your hand" moment was very sweet.
For Gretchen: Please don't die! Don't get murdered! Stay away from windows, chandeliers, meat hooks, evil sorority girls and parking lots that make you vanish for episodes on end.
Also, heartbroken Samuel = yikes!

I know everybody was kinda ugh about "zomg Claire and Gretchen kiss early on in the season, they're pandering!" but I feel like their relationship dynamic was handled very well in the long run. This was easily the best episode so far. Not a single dull scene. My favorite was the Sylar/Claire storyline - very psychological, very powerful. Sylar of course continues to dominate the screen, but Claire was very good too. And Hiro's trial - oh man. Poor Sam. I like him as the villain, he's an interesting character. Totally excited for next week!

^^ you want her to hook up with Sylar??...the rape scene from the last ep was completely horrible and totally crossed the line for me...and after seeing that still, you want them together? I don't think so. And i don't think that's what EVERYONE wants to see. That would be a terrible move on the writers part for Claires character growth imo. Howevery, I do think that the two actors work really great together in a scene.
And Peter/Claire....eh, i see them as bro/sis type relationship, so definitely no on that pairing.

wait...Peter/Sylar as a couple??? haha...i thought he meant Peter or (slash) Sylar for Claire. oh yeah, i can totally see that pairing....every scene they have, especially them beating the crap out of each other, you can cut the sexual tension with a knife....

Besides, Peter and Claire ARE related. Nathan's Claire's birth father, remember? Peter's her uncle. <_<

^^ yuk, right-o...scary visual place.
Anways back to the story, I have a question about Hiro's story arc. After the trial and his mom cures him....was that really her spirit and did she really cure him?(even though i'm sure the docs are gonna get credit for removing the tumor)...Is this really the final closure of his "i'm-gonna-die-storyarc"?
I'm thinking yes, I just want confirmation or another view from someone else.

Pretty sure it was the doctors did that did heal him but Hiro being the wide minded comic booke hero that he is made a re-imagining in his head of what he felt was going on inside him at the time. I have been LOVING this season of Heroes. Ever since S1 thye have ruined the show at some point or it got boring but this season is the best since season 1. Really am hooked on it now and its because thye have sort of made Syular a background charatcer (finally!!!) and brought the heroes back to their "normal lives again (finally!!!) Samuael is a very interesting villian. Curious to see where he ends up.

Yeah, the trial sequence was some sort of dream or projection of Hiro's, his collapse at the beginning of the episode really forced him to re-evaluate his life. And, this being Hiro, he dramatized this re-evaluation into a "trial of character" in order to decide if he should fight for his life or let the tumor take him away.

Right, i got that part now. I guess i got thrown off when his mom says something like "Some things are more powerful than science. Destiny."....and so i assumed something unnatural (his mom) helped him stay alive while the docs were operating on him because i figured Hiro's tumor was way too bad, up to the point where even the docs couldn't have removed it completely and successfully on their own.

I think the point there was to invoke a sort of LOST feeling - that Hiro's powers came with them an inherent responsibility that Hiro is not yet done with, in the way that... (LOST spoilers abound) The Island stops Michael and Jack from dying after they leave because their destinies in relation to the Island are not yet finished.

The Art of Deception Where was Lydia's daughter when she was shot and killed? You would think she would be at her mother's side. I really loathe Samuel, Eli, and Doyle. I'm happy to see Tracy is back. I was wondering where her character went off to. I wonder what the part in Samuel's diabolical plan is. Sheesh, when is Peter and Emma gonna hook up?

Beginning of the end started tonight and WOW. Didn't want that to happen. I really loved Lydia. So Samuel finally reveals his true colors. Argh, that bastard! Should be an exciting two episodes, though. Also, I was really hopeful for Sylar by now, but dammit Matt, you had to screw it all up again! I hope Peter can help Sylar, but it'll be an interesting conflict since Sylar killed Nathan. (BTW, loved the fast cuts inside Sylar's mind. Really great stuff.)

oh man, what a great episode! ^^ I'm also so sad to see what happened to Lydia. And damn, Samuel is so evil! He's worse than Sylar IMO because he's so manipulative and has everyone believing he's a good guy and hides his true self behind that....At least with Sylar, he was up front with his evilness. No Hiro/Ando scenes but I was excited to see Tracy back! Quote: Also, I was really hopeful for Sylar by now, but dammit Matt, you had to screw it all up again! I hope Peter can help Sylar, but it'll be an interesting conflict since Sylar killed Nathan. I think we can still be hopeful for Sylar. His worse nightmare is being alone so he wants to get rid of his powers to feel human again. I know he was serious in wanting that so I do still think he'll be trying to redeem himself still. Peter even saw the future and said that Sylar's the one that has to save the people (at the carnival, it looks like). But you're right that it would be very interesting to see Peter helping Sylar. I'm at least wanting to be hopeful because IMO I think it's getting old to see him being the big bad after all these years and so to have his character still new and fresh he needs to evolve instead of him being stuck as a 2-Dimensional evil character....I think his redemption would be really great to see. I'm really liking him now because we're getting to see another side of him (seeing his fears) and that definitely brings more depth to his character which makes me really interested in his story arc.

Well, Sylar hasn't really been the main villain since S1. They've managed to keep him fresh by not making him the Big Bad every single time, but rather writing his stories in with the rest of the characters. Everybody's afraid of him and want (and try) to kill him, but he's a deeply psychological character, so he really brings out the best and worst in each of the others. That's why the stuff with Claire in Pass/Fail was so great - the two of them have come a very long way since Volume Three's "brain rape" scene. Samuel makes for a great villain, too. This has been a really solid season of Heroes.
