I didn’t really take Claire’s teenage rebellion into account, but that could also be because after two seasons I figured maybe she would learn to trust Noah a bit. Sure he’s stubborn but I don’t there there has been a single instant where he wasn’t doing what he truly believed was in her best interest. In this case he kept her from being sedated and locked up, which actually did allow her to save Hiro, Tracy, Matt, Mohinder, and Peter. When she first doubted him, fine, second time even I was okay with it because of all the rules she had the first time she got to Costa Verde. Then after that she lost my support, even after his little incident making that guy suck himself into a black hole. I feel like if she found Peter in the cockpit she would let him explain himself, but for some reason through out all of his loyalty she still can’t believe Noah.

And just a side note, I was wondering how Noah was taking the company being gone making that first flashback extra satisfying for me.

I pretty much agree with most of the guys here but I think the painting at the end gave away too many plot details, for one, this only guaruntees Hiro will get his Time Manipulation ability back for sure because near the end, how will they inevitably stop the bomb, we all know Matts visions eventually come true even if he self conciously does’nt believe it will happen. (See Daphine getting shot in Chapter 2). So the only way for them to stop it is if Hiro goes back in time and stop Matt from inevitably performing the deed because it’s the only way to actually stop the future (See Volume 1 and 2). Im looking forward to seeing what happens still in the next few episodes, as long as they focus on specific characters each episode so it does’nt get boring.

Thanks for the great perspective, in reading your perspective it made me enjoy the episode more. My issue with repetition is that Peter should be wiser than he is, he is still to hasty, he has done things before and the same outcome results. He should have learned and be smarter. But he is at least taking action and being a leader.

Meanwhile, I agree with Claire being the most unstable, in addition she is helping out yet another kid just like fly boy from Volume 2, but this can be argued that Teenagers are rebellious and emotional by nature right? Maybe her indecision and making wrong choices only realistically show actions taken by teenagers and such.

I really liked Micah’s character, and wish he was back in the story somehow.

I completely agree that Sylar has the most interesting storyline so far. As far as Matt goes I think a mass illusion in that many minds would have been absolutely out of control, a couple of guys sure but a whole squad I think would be incredibly difficult. I agree that drawing the future is getting old especially considering most of the things end up coming true minus the mass explosions.

As far as Hiro/Ando I’m still debating on if I like it or not. Last season they annoyed the crap out of me but the new dynamic of Ando being the hero is interesting.

I’m also relieved to see that Daphne is still alive. Not only does it give Matt a purpose but she wasn’t a characted that needed to be axed for no real reason.

As far as indecision goes I think Clair is far more guilty than Peter. “Hey mom, Dad’s still roudning us up he’s a jerk.” “Your mom kicked me out” “OMG WHY?!” Uh…what did you think was going to happen? It’s kind of like season 2 when she kept going out of her way to be rebelious and ended up getting Bennett shot in the eye.

I’m actually not too down on Peter right now, I’m glad he’s finally taking a leadership role and taking action. Until he can manage to hold multiple powers (and I’m pretty confident he will) he is doing a good job of being creative with what he has. Sure he didn’t really plan on killing the Hunter (who is an awsome Villian I agree) but he didn’t hesitate in shooting him to keep from letting the other two get the drop on him. If the heroes can manage to get Sylar on their side, and Peter with all of his powers back it will be interesting to see how Nathan and Danko will try to counter that.

As far as Bennett goes I never really doubted his loyalty to his family. I’m dying to know what Angela has up he sleeve, if nothing else she is the sneakiest person in heroes.

I agree that Sylar’s storylines are always my favorites, but I haven’t really enjoyed watching Hiro in a long time. I still like and watch Heroes every week, but don’t love it the way I did in season one. I actually liked last night’s episode because it focused on one plot and also gave us the back story of how Nathan’s plan came together. I am so curious what Angela and Noah’s plan is.
