Lead image!

I was thinking:

• Samson and Sylar standing next to each other
• Sylar tk choking Samson w/ his oxygen cord
• Taxidermied bunny???
• Samson doing his Subduing/drowsiness thing (see discussion for naming)

...but im saying that this image definitely has to get the Samson and son in there--Anthony Gooch 22:27, 9 March 2009 (EDT)

• • Samson & Son for sure. Bloodbath 22:44, 9 March 2009 (EDT)
    • I think we should use the shot with Sylar and Danko out of focus, with the bunny in focus. It really summarizes the episode. For me, at least. --Cairoi 22:48, 9 March 2009 (EDT)
      • Umm...you mean Samson and Sylar? Because I agree if that is the case. --Crazylicious 23:05, 9 March 2009 (EDT)
        • No, I mean at the very end of the episode, in Danko's apartment. Between the two main storylines, this connected them and painted an image of the rest of the episodes to come. --Cairoi 23:36, 9 March 2009 (EDT)

There is hope!

Heroes just keeps getting better and better! A Clear and Present Danger rocked, but after that it started to go a little downhill. But ever since last weeks episode and tonight's episode, damn! I feel like thy are finally getting a hold of the story, giving us what we want to see. Im so happy I never gave up, this show is rocking!--Cairoi 22:38, 9 March 2009 (EDT)

• yeah next....next weeks episode looks even more crazy. ando finally uses his evoled power tracy seems to have evolved her power as well she creates a blast of cold air well i think talk:freezing i wrote something there all the way at the bottom. It makes sence. cant wait until 2 weeks!!! its gonna be EPIC!--Icykidd 22:45, 9 March 2009 (EDT)

A Few Notes

First of all, great episode. The bunny kept reminding me of Donnie Darko (as Sylar also occasionally reminds me of the character of Donnie himself) and I loved meeting Daddy Gray and his trippy chain-smoker narcotic bird calls. A few notes, of course. The song playing in Sam's Comics was Not Now But Soon by Imogen Heap. I believe it was on the Heroes soundtrack. I'm not sure, though. Also, I noticed that two of the comic book nerds there were played by a few 'Chuck' extras. The tall redhead with the 'fro and the portly guy with glasses both play Buy More 'green shirt' salesman the hour before Heroes. I'm going to mention that when I send in questions to BTE this week. Anyways, good episode and great restarting point for Fuller. I'm hoping this week's GN will be about Samson and what powers he stole back in the day. Or about what happened to Luke.
