No closure on Daphne from last episode. What did Matt do, just leave her body there? Highly unlike him and highly unlikely the writers wouldn't show something as important as that.

Way too much focus on Sylar and Luke.

This epsiode moved a little too slow for me. The Sylar and Luke road trip isn't getting me excited, and Hiro and Ando in India wasn't very interesting either. Nathan seeing the body count go up on his operation as the scrutiny gets more intense was good, as was the HRG and family dysfunction. The ending made the episode worth watching. Can't wait for next week.

Not a big fan of this episode.

The whole Luke/Sylar thing is boring and predictable.

Sylar needs to get over his daddy issues.

Hiro needs to stop acting like his mum didn't return his memories.

Clair needs to decide whether or not to be angry at Noah. Sulking in her room
isn't really a good way to convey that your not going to stand for someone
opressing and imprisoning your people. Neither is crying when that someone gets
kicked out.

Also, Noah needs a new ****** excuse. 'I have to, to protect Clair' is getting old. And
Nathan is in charge of the whole ****** program, in fact, the episode started with him saying Clair
is still off-limits.

Oh, and apparently the drugs that up until now were good enough for everyone, that Tracy was on until this episode, and that they used on that Luke kid in this episode, just don't allow for some crappy storyline like heat lamps do. Seriously, Nathan needed more funding to keep them contained. Would have figured he'd of had that sorted before he attempted to capture a dozen of them.

Too bad there's no one working for him from a previous organization that captured Specials huh? Might of helped to talk with someone like that about that issue.
*Sarcasm is hard to write. Noah works for him, he should have a pretty good idea of how to contain them. Should have talked to him before Capturing.

Lastly, the Indian girlfriends did not make out.

p.s On second thought, they might have been sisters... My complaint stands.

Couldn't stand this episode. I really couldn't. A vast disappointment after the previous two.

The Sylar / Luke scenario is no longer believable for me, and went on for far too long, exactly like the Hiro / Ando scenes. Which I disliked just as much for Moody Hiro. I can only pray that they give him his abilities back fast, or make him damn useful with a blade. Speaking of which, WHY India? It just felt ... so useless and unnecessary, especially since they're now running back to the USA. Ugh. Noah and Claire? *Yawn*.

The building 26 segments were the most interesting.

But yeah, really disliked this episode.

I think the biggest negative review of this show overall is the lack of posts, positive or negative, about it. There used to be lots of different topics to post about, love it or hate it. Really though, what is there to talk about now? Will Hiro get his powers back? Who is Rebel?

There just seems to be a big lull right now. I still think the show is okay but I haven't seen anything that's made me run here and say "Oh! I wonder what everybody else thought of that awesome or awful part!"

I don't know. I guess I just don't see where the show is going or if it's interesting. At this point I'm watching because I don't feel like changing the channel after Chuck and I have nothing better to watch.

Most of the stuff was boring, with the exception of Rebel, the ending and the Building 26 storyline. This episode was ******.

This episode was a piece of ******.

Hayden's performance couldn't have been worse.
Check out how she moves her face when she's in the comic store. Hilarity!
What was the ultimate point of going to India... that was kinda lame.
Luke seems to like this serial killer a little too much for someone that goes birdwatching with the crazy man down the street... Luke's character seems totally off... which makes me think he was planted there as a method of control over Sylar by his father. Sylar was classic though.
Why did Peter and Parkman have to help carry Bennet with Mohinder there?

WHERE ARE THE FUGITIVES ARE THEY SO GOOD AT HIDING THAT EVEN THA CAMMARAS CANNOT FIND THEM TO SHOW US WHAT THEY ARE DOING OTHER THAN THE TEN SECONDS THAT WE GOT AT THE END. THE TIME TO BRING THE WAR TO THE GOV'T IS NOW! ALSO THE TIME TO GIVE PETER HIS POWER BACK ITS BEEN ALMOST A WHOLE VOLUME WORTH OF EPISODES WITHOUT THEM GIVE HIM AND US WHAT WE WANT, A BREAK FROM THE cupcakes.

yeh the whole sylar / luke thing is moving far too slow just hury up and find samson, kill luke, take his microwave off him and get on with being the best villain you can be.

the other thing about these two is that luke had more screen time in this episode than most of the main characters ie peter, matt & mo only in the last scene and angela wasent even in this one. i get it hes a new character but that shouldent retract from the actual fugitives, SEEN AS FUGITIVES IS THE NAME OF THE VOLUME AND NOT PSYCHO KILLER ROAD TRIP

whats that all about luke getting more time than peter and while im on it i know they were wanting to scale down peters powers but does that mean scaling down his part in the show in sick of it since the end of S1 they have constantly raped peter, its not even that i think his new power is that bad but i would like him to be able to develope it and get back to a simmilar level of power to sylar but i think that can only happen if he actually gets the screen time, so ****** off that they keep diminishing his role in the show. i know he will at least have more scenes in the next episode but come on kring get your ****** act together

Why can't they hire indian actors that actually can speak hindi correctly.
edit:
Crappy episode other than sylar's rolling of the government guys.

I never really noticed Claire's wig until this episode. Probably because I'm watching in HD now and I can see the mesh they glued to her head.It was really annoying. Can't they have an episode where she cuts her hair to be more "grown up" or something?

And it does seem that Hiro was more adult when he regressed to a 10 year old.

I really hope there is a payoff this season.

Nothing really progressed in this episode. Tracy is still locked up. Sylar and Luke are still traveling. The only real thing was with Claire and Alex, but...it wasn't really advancing. The only true part of that was Sandra kicking Noah out (which was a win). Maybe Peter's, Matt's and Mohinder's [only] appearance at the end of the episode counted for something. I can't wait to see Matt get revenge for Daphne.

As with Hiro and Ando...what happened?! They went off to India*....in search of his powers?! As far as we know there are only two ways to get them: Formula [completely destroyed], and stealing, but since Hiro has no abilities at all, he can't steal! Also, the whole sudden story [and abrupt end] there was just very bizarre.

*Which requires getting onto a plane - not exactly very easy when you're a threat to America!!

Come on guys, usually Heroes episodes have a lot more than this.

I completely agree with you. I used to run to 9th after every episode, this was back in Season One. However, I am back here, which means that at least for me it's gotten better than, say, Volume Two or Three, which really left bad tastes in my mouth.

I didn't like how Hiro was acting up here. I know he's all about being the hero and everything, but they took it too far here. Ando's was pretty cool here, he seemed very mature.

I actually understood the whole conflict between Claire and HRG though... he's still her dad, and when daddy leaves, little girls will cry, no matter what they've done.

I'm actually looking forward to the next episode... Noah-centric? Yes please! I hope I'm not setting myself up for disappointment by filling my head with memories of "Company Man."

When was their time for them to go back for her body and do a burial? They're on the run.

Good thing you're not a huge Ali/Tracy/Niki fan because if you think he doesn't get a lo of screen time... I think you'd have a heart attack! lmao

But anyways, the episode was just okay, definately just a filler/setup episode for later on down the road. The Sylar roadtrip thing is okay, but since every other storyline/subplot (with the exception of India... See below) is pretty great, it bogs down the episode.

I also chuckled a little during the scene with Claire in the comic shop... The acting was pretty bad... Sorry Hayden...

And then the whole ordeal in India was pointless... to me it just seemed like a way to throw Hiro and Ando into the mix as well as Tim Sales art (which is great, but yea...)

In all, it was just an okay episode. At least everyone was in character
