HOLY CRAP

Oh man. Up until the last 30 seconds, I thought this was an okay episode, but nothing special really... but DANG! What a twist! It's season one all over again! (though I'm kind of sad they got rid of the original explosion painting) -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 22:01, 23 February 2009 (EST)

Totally agree, liked the way it was laid out too, help pull your attention through. Dracomaster4 22:03, 23 February 2009 (EST)

Yeah, and the new musical accompaniment was intense! Speaking of which, I'm really happy about the music this volume. There's a lot of new tunes being thrown around. They all sound great! -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 22:05, 23 February 2009 (EST)

Yup, one thing I noticed, is most of the first and second season didnt have a soundtrack, and now they're using them in a great way. Dracomaster4 22:06, 23 February 2009 (EST)

Interesting, I thought the first half was very boring and talked down to the viewer a little much. oh well.. im still watching! :) -Action Figure 22:19, 23 February 2009 (EST)

I absolutely agree, Action Figure, this is probably the worst episode ever. 1st, we learned no new information until the reveal that Daphne was still alive. Everything else had been implied, we didn't need to see the conversations. They were talking down to us. 2nd, the cinematography was completely inconsistent, I know they're trying new things, but there were too many new things in one episode. This didn't even look like an episode of Heroes. Where were Matt's swing and tilt lens and SFX? I did like the B&W, perfect for the inside of HRG's head, but did they not notice the Uncle Leo like angry eyebrows they were rocking on HRG by lighting him from below? 3rd, the plot moved forward an inch. Mohinder was given an ultimatum, Noah and Angela are working together and Matt's going to blow up DC. Why hold off all of the new info until the last 5 min. of the show? On the plus side, the acting has never been better.--Mistyjo 05:22, 24 February 2009 (EST)

Just read Beeman's blog. There were budget cuts (obvious from lack of sets and VFX), NBC execs edited the script and took out some nice stuff, and a freshman director this episode. I hope they saved enough money to make next week a great week.--Mistyjo 06:23, 24 February 2009 (EST)

Noah and Angela

Here's a good question: what are those two up to??? I think they're working to bring down this new program that is capturing evolved humans. Note that several times over the last few episodes when an evolved human got away mostly Noah is around. I think he's secretly doing what he can to help. For example he let Peter go twice when he could have easily killed him each time, he's been protecting Claire and I'm not really sure if he put any real effort into capturing Alex, he almost seemed to get away too easily like Noah was trying to give him a shot secretly, I mean Noah did subtle in his capture attempt and he's more of a taze em sort of guy. That's just not him and obviously Danko and his goon squad don't have any problems tazing people. He even tried to warn them not to go after Danko and to just run and it seemed like he was trying to give them advice. Then Noah escorted Matt out. That seemed a little suspicious to me. I had a feeling he was either going to let Matt go somehow or find a way to help him escape. I was right: Peter did rescue Matt, but notice how Noah was able to look at Peter's trail seconds later when he flew away: if he'd been stunned by that grenade he would have been blinded longer than that. I think he just took the oportunity to let go of Matt so he could get away. He knew Peter would come back if he escaped so he did his best to give him a chance at performing a rescue.--WarGrowlmon18 23:05, 23 February 2009 (EST)

I'm guessing Noah is really a good guy at heart and wants the evolved humans to be protected under a watchful eye during this time. --TrueBlueBrooklynite 00:09, 24 February 2009 (EST)

How to Stop an Exploding Matt

Did anyone notice how the bomb straps or whatever they were attached to him on the painting went from a single "scroll" to multiple ones and then Matt? I didn't even notice they were "bombs" until I saw the explosion on the floor. And anyone understand the explosion on the floor? Any recognizable place? At least Daphne's alive, but I fear he's on the path of evil rather than good. --Arkillion 04:10, 24 February 2009 (EST)

• Nope...not a recognizable place at all. XD Bloodbath 04:47, 24 February 2009 (EST)
• Your kidding dude right??? That was OBVIOUS!!!!!!!!! Its Washington D.C.!--WarGrowlmon18 08:45, 24 February 2009 (EST)
  • No, there's no confirmation and just because the explosion is similar to Peter exploding, doesn't mean it's New York or Washington, --Arkillion 09:50, 24 February 2009 (EST)
    • Actually, you see the Washington Monument and The White House in the painting on the floor. (Admin 09:54, 24 February 2009 (EST))
