For all of Samuel’s plotting and scheming and equivocating and manipulating and terrakinetic razing and brother-killing and Lydia-prostituting and… I’ve lost track of what other shit he's done.




OH. MY. GOD.

What have those hair and make-up people done to her?

There must be some explanation. Like, an encounter with a TK-powered super who was bitter at the way Matt hopped back into bed with Janice and promptly forgot about you-know-who. Or something Sylar put into motion while impersonating Matt, just to make things that much more unbearable for him, like, “Honey, you’re SO hot, I just wish you’d cut off your hair so I could appreciate your slender neck and nibble your succulent earlobes.”




Apparently Peter feels the same way, because his first instinct is to visit Emma, pick up her cello…



… and ensure that what he saw can’t happen.

Which incurs the distress of the woman he cares about, but which also puts Peter in a position to compete with Matt for the smartest character of the episode. The difference is that Peter earns his credit through proactively preventing a catastrophe, whereas Matt’s approach is to withdraw and hope catastrophes won’t find him. Both characters appear to have learned from their mistakes, however, with Peter apparently deciding that sometimes quick and decisive action trumps lengthy contemplation or careful observation.


What is Claire late for, when she avoid Noah??


A make-out session with Gretchen

A make-out session with Sylar (whoops, SPOILER! This will make more sense next week...)

A Guitar Hero tournament

A cooking class where everyone learns how to make ratatouille

None of the above: Sylar's in the room with Claire, which is why Claire doesn't invite Noah in and why she tries to get rid of him so quickly

None of the above: that's not Claire -- it's Sylar, and he's shapeshifted into Claire


Well, at least Noah’s happy to see her. He knows where this scene is going as much as we do. And although Noah kisses her, and although it seems to be played as a romantic moment, I can’t help seeing it as Lauren taking advantage of Noah’s despair the moment he hit rock bottom. The implication is that she earned his love through loyalty, when in fact it’s really just that she hung around long enough to catch him when he was single, and that she was ready and waiting to usurp Sandra’s ex-husband — who, as we know, she’d been interested in all along, and who, as we know, is at this particular moment INTOXICATED.



What the heck. It’s romantic enough for Lauren. Brace yourself, folks.



GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! I can’t look! Avert your eyes! It’s… It’s too horrible to witness!



THANK YOU, HIRO! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Whatever criticism I may have heaped on you in the past — and I realize that that’s not an inconsiderable amount — I take it all back! You’ve rescued us from the horror of… the LAUROAH!


5th Stage

Peter: “I wanna make a deal. I’ll let up, I’ll let you heal, but you give me Nathan. You give him back to me, body and soul.”

Oh, Peter. Oh, Peter. I know you’re blind with grief so I’m going to spare you a Dumb As Hiro Award, but I SHOULDN’T. Think, Peter. He can shapeshift into Nathan! He can smile at you and say it’s Nathan in there, and then he can slice your dumb scalp open!


Which part of the frog's story is Claire most likely to have left out?


The part where the frog repeatedly told Dad that she hated him

The part where the frog decked another frog and gave her a black eye

The part where the frog (kinda, sorta) caused its parents' divorce

The part where the frog's grandma disappeared in a tornado, and instead of searching for her, the frog started talking about movie night

The part where the frog became a badass gun-toting mercenary

Sylathan: “You’re going to have to carry on for the both of us, Pete. OK? You tell Mom I love her. You take care of Claire.”

… And Simon?

… And Monty?

… And Heidi?

… No?

OK then…


Strange Attractors


Claire: “Gretch, you’re the first real friend I’ve had since I left Texas.”



Sorry, West!





Sylar recognizes Tracy as the one he “helped” back in the day. I find it amusing that he latches onto that part of their relationship instead of the part where he slept with her, fired her, captured her, double-crossed her and tortured her, but if Sylar wants to focus on the happy memories, who can blame him



I just need to clarify: we’re watching one of the show’s main characters get drunk in order to… make the ghost of another character who’s stuck inside his head disappear? And… that’s after the ghost took control of his captive’s body to… have sex with his captive’s wife? And now that character is challenging the ghost to stop him from drinking beer?



What would be an even more ridiculous way for Matt to get rid of Sylar?


Hitting himself over the head repeatedly with a mallet

Getting stoned

Standing on his head for an hour

Dancing until he spontaneously combusts

Forcing Sylar to rewatch Season Two


Ghost-Sylar becomes Ghost-Sylar-controlling-Matt’s-body-with-Ghost-Matt-inside-Matt’s-head. Janice looks worried, but before long, you can bet she’ll be berating Matt for “always doing this” and “blowing everything after 15 years of marriage.”

Thanks to HeroSite

The Most Important Part



Lizard Mohinder is back!

I managed to leave out all the stuff that disrespected Sylar, tho. Or the worst of it. But it really is fucking hilarious!!!

Actress wanted a haircut A slightly awful one

I know. I was LOL-ing at that!

Option 4

So? Fair enough for him to move on, since Sandra has.

LOL at Matt beating himself over the head with a mallet to get rid of Sylar

Those were my favs.

1. The writers forgot his sons. Again
2. Maybe it's cause Meredith is dead but Heidi is as far as we know alive
