Finally, an episode reminiscent of the first season. It worked for me as a new starting point. Thanks to a couple of minor rewrites Sylar's recent actions make a little more sense. I just wish this episode had come a bit earlier. I think nearly everything tied together nicely. It answered a few questions I had like "why didn't Linderman heal papa Patrelli?" and "Who could have fathered Sylar's future child?".

One of the things that did bother me though was the story of how papa Patrelli had supposedly died. I thought Angela had told Peter that his dad had cut himself? Maybe I had heard that wrong.

Kay, so . . . good episode - it didn't kill Gabe's back story too much from what we had before. XD

Angela is just waaaaay awesome in my book. ^.^

I like the return of Peter's emo bang and Nathan was WIN tonight as well.

I totally called that the train that Meridith, Flint, and Thompson were in was the train from the first episode with Claire.

Umm . . . I can't believe that they killed Usutu - at least we won't have anyone complaining about having a precog anymore. XD

Gabe was just too freaking cute. I wanted to be Elle so bad in those scenes (because I just love Gabe with all my wee heart), but I really wanted to smack Noah. I don't mind though because now we have the awesomeness that is Sy.

I also really like the creation of the "Forgive Me" closet. That was a VERY nice throwback.

So yeah . . . I have some homework to do, so I can't really think of anything else at the moment, but it was a very nice flashback.

Going to have to watch that again....

A lot happened... What did Noah say about Sylar? Something about vessels?

Nice to see Robert Patrick back....and he DOES have a heart..that was surprising

Cool that flint and meredith are brother/sister, guess it was one of those too obvious to call it moments...

Do you mean Eric Roberts?

THAT. WAS. THE.
FIERCE.

'nuff said.

Oh okay this needs to be said too - everyone take note that Jeph Loeb wrote this absolutely fantabulous episode. Make sure you tell NBC how much you loved it and how much they SUCK for firing Loeb and Jesse Alexander. I know I will be.

Now for my scribbles (that I can make out....lotsa brains exploding everywhere made it kinda messy.

)

- Flint and Meredith brother and sister - who didn't see that one coming.

But they were great together, all their scenes and dialogue. Great acting and even better script (written by Jeph Loeb)

- Elle and Sylar sittin in a tree......

- BLAM!!!!!!! <---brain explosion #1. Arthur was responsible for the hit on Nathan that left his wife paralyzed from the waist down. I screamed. "You look good in a suit, Nathan".

- the entire scene from the hospital after the crash was just intense as all hell. And Nathan's "time to choose a side, Dad. Your client, or your FAMILY!" was the icing on the cake.

- MOLTEN MAN!!!!!!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! Oh they had BETTER bring his ass back.

- NEW WEBISODES START TONIGHT!!!

- why did Linderman help Angela and betray Arthur? Show me the next chapter in the "War Buddies" graphic novel saga to answer that question please.

And Jason Badower can draw it too, kthxbai.

- RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!
(this is brain explosion #2 up here)
When I realized the trainwreck that Meredith caused was the SAME ONE Claire ran into in S1, at the exact time she overhears Thompson say "they told you she died in the fire".......my poor brain overloaded when Shenkar started singing and there was a big mess all over my living room. Brains everywhere.

- And add onto Molten Man, the addition of (temporarily) BULLSEYE!!!! who Sylar promptly kills.

- RAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
(and here we have brain explosion #3)
"Its your mother's recipe" - holy CRAAAAAAP ANGELA KILLED (rather tried to kill) ARTHUR!!!!!!!!!!! The HAITIAN!!!!! RAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!! And then Nathan saves him from death, the catalyst for where we are now. FIERCE FIERCE FIERCE FIERCE FIERCE FIERCE FIERCE to the ENTH degree.

- now the entire last scene was a massive brain explosion, so I will spare you the multiplicity and just give it to you straight -

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elle and HRG part ways as HRG steps into Mohinder's cab from S1
Usutu (finally giving us his name on the show) the African future painter/seer is dead. BEHEADED. DAAAAAAAAAMN.
ARTHUR TAKES HIRO'S POWER!!!!!!!!!
TO BE CONTINUED FLYS AT MY FACE IN HD WHILE HIRO SCREAMS!!!!!!!

Oh and next week.....as I so love to say -

IT
IS
COMING!!!!!!

Spoiler: next week

Holy crap I freakin LOVE this show.
