But peter's only a nurse...
...yeah ok that doesn't make sense. Also she was dandy with killing baby sylar
I like this explanation it works with me.
all he had to do was hand it off to another DA, that's all his dad wanted.
"I don't know. I guess I won't. That was silly."
STAY AWAY FROM MY BUBBLE.
My problem with the Sylar/Elle scenes is that it was just a terrible bit of acting/writing. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad dialogue. Although I'm sure that the acting would have been better if the writing was better. If they want to do romance scenes, then they need to bring in some writers who actually know a thing or two about the subject. I can get that Elle was trying to make Sylar jealous. The problem is that it was way, way, way too over the top. They could have just showed them at dinner, where Elle is coyly flirting with Emo guy and focusing all his attention on him -- and Sylar getting increasingly annoyed before he finally snaps. Instead, they have to make her go, "OMG, that is the most awesome power ever, show me again, show me again!" Also, I can get that she was uncomfortable with the scene, but why didn't Sylar notice? It's like they tell actors, "If you're playing a character who lies, don't play it like you're lying. Play it like you're telling the truth."
What was Thompson's explanation? The most I can remember is him saying something along of "Oh, that's right!" He was there when Claire was assigned to HRG. Did he just completely forget that Meredith was the real mother?
Flint was dumb like Joe the Plumber is dumb, not full-on-retard "OMG, I can't believe I killed that mouse!" dumb. Mistaking a taser for a killing device -- after it's already been used on you -- is pretty damned dumb.
While I can get Thompson's line looking sarcastic on paper, the problem is that he didn't sell it as sarcasm in his delivery. Also, probably not wise to use non-sarcastic sounding sarcasm on a guy who just turned full-on-retard.
And seeing a heart attack and ashes might be enough for a normal person if the subject was never brought up again, but not really in a conspiracy laden world of Heroes where Peter had just told Nathan that he saw Arthur face to face. Did Nathan, at any point, see a dead body?
As for Thompson's line not being sarcastic enough for you... Maybe you should watch that scene again? It's was pretty damn sarcastic, as evidenced by him emphasizing the word "genius."
Finally, it's been implied pretty heavily (from Meredith's interactions with him) that Flint is in fact "OMG I killded dat mouwse!" retarded.
As for Elle, the funny thing is that Sylar never picks up the fact that Elle is completely uncomfortable or acting strangely. It's like watching one of those movies where some guy is dressed as the most unconvincing broad on Earth, and yet absolutely no one finds anything off about it.

I think I'm done. I had to force myself, literally, to watch this episode. Its just not fun anymore. Like going back to tell us how Elle and Sylar have history is at all fucking relevant to whats going on in the present.
And what the hell hapenned with Meredith? She got zapped then got straight back up like it was nothing. I figured it was some kind of ploy along with Thompson but then she starts attacking him anyway.
And Flint is the most pathetic level 5 villain.
And presumably, Flint was in Level 5 because he spontaneously develops a liking for torching innocent people.
And for what? The sake of making him fight for the Company?
When they were announcing the two finalists during the premiere, when they named his power me and my friends were all like, WTF? It makes no sense. My one friend described his power as "colorless green ideas sleep furiously" which I thought pretty fitting.
I don't want to watch the webisodes, I just wonder what the heck kind of power they were trying to get at with "Accelerated Probability." The trailers they showed during this episode didn't make it any clearer. He kind of looks fast?

Not normal foresight though, I think they're talking Prometheus levels of foresight.
I think Waterchick has a more interesting power than soccer-douche.
And we still need somebody who can control animals, because they could be badass if they were smart about it.

Well if you can control yourself while being water you can go in people's lungs and drown them!

Presumably, it works better when you don't only get to use it when your twin is nearby and you can become something better than an ice bucket. The Justice League version of that character was pretty cool.
I doubt this show itself, much less a short online version of it, has the budget to really do anything interesting.

Well to be fair there is Jesse the "you dont want to know" screamer. Who is deafeted through the magic of choking.
Theres the german magento who gets scared really easily.
Theres a vortex guy who would rather off himself then kill a bad guy.
And of course Noah. Who has the power to be a total asshole to everyone.
Its probably the tamest bunch of psychopaths ever.

You're not disagreeing with me, I take it.
The potential is there, they just have a crappy writing staff who doesn't know what they have in their hands.

Where's that from?

I swore it off after the Season 1 finale, and all my friends tried to get me to watch Season 2 when it started, because I was the one who was showing the Pilot to EVERYONE because I thought the show had so much potential. I'm so glad I stood my ground, because it just is such a shame.
I will say though, the only reason I'm IN this thread is because I have found that this show is AWESOME when it's dumbed down and explained by people like you, and my friends and family. I love asking people who happened, because it's always a mix of "thats kinda neat" and just pure hilarity. The show is awesome when you summarize it in 5 minutes and laugh off all the rest.
Someone already noted that a year ago sylar was talking to Daddy suresh and showing him his powers not dating elle
near the end of the episode HRG gets in the cab of Mohinder after peter (this happens in the first episode ever) and there are many things wrong here. Peter met mohinder after his dad died six months before yet the very next scene the family is finding Papa Pet. has just died. Why is mohinder already in New york, sylar has to kill papa suresh first for mohinder to even come to New York and Sylar had just killed that emo guy the night before.
finally when Meredith caused the train crash and was released and we all saw claire was rescuing the guy from said crash. If the train crash is happening at the same time Papa pet. is "dying" which i guess because Hiro is on this spirit walk/dream how can this been when in the first season we learn that Papa died six months before the 1st episode which is when the train crash happens. What the ?????
I hope that made sense, it has been bothering me all day.

Every episode this season I am shocked at how exponentially worse it keeps getting, but I cannot resist the urge to continue watching. I didn't think anything could be worse than Lost's first half of Season 3, but here it is.
* Sylar kills TK guy
* Regrets it and attempts suicide, meets Elle
* Elle convinces him to be a killer by killing finger-gun guy
* Sylar returns to Suresh
* Spends a while, almost six months, with Suresh finding more people with powers(as he tells Mohinder in season 1)
* Suresh apparently figures it out and they have that phone argument Mohinder later hears
* Sylar kills Suresh
* HRG goes to India to get Suresh's research
* Mohinder hears about it, comes to New York and gets a taxi
* HRG goes back to New York and gets into Mohinder's taxi
Except in this episode, it's clearly implied that HRG gets into Mohinder's taxi immediately after making the tapes of the killing. What happened to all Sylar's time with Suresh and HRG's trip to India? Heroes' writers are incompetent.

I also find that some of the ideas in this episode were rather interesting, such as the various forking path choices that came up, and some of the bad guys showing moments of compassion, but really the execution was so poor and heavy-handed that it's very difficult to appreciate. And why couldn't they just have kept Sylar as he was, but given him another reason to strive to be a better dude? Give him, I don't know, a conscience, or some event that causes him to rethink his serial killing tendencies. Anything would probably be better than The Hunger. Bah.
