Oh, my.

It was a great episode, but very disturbing throughout all of it. Doyle is controlling Emma in the dream. Matt turns on Sylar (granted, Sylar is a deranged killer, but Matt said he saw into his head and knew he meant he wanted to change). Samuel has Eli do the dirty work to a grand scale, then makes sure Lydia knows he did it before she dies?... this episode was extreme.--Riddler 21:59, 25 January 2010 (EST)

• The one stupid thing that stood out to me is that Claire just didn't bother trying to bring Lydia back. They REALLY need to address her ability to revive the dead. Of course, if they did, I'd probably be here complaining that they took the cheap cop-out method to keep Lydia around. Still, one line would have been nice.--Gibbeynator 22:02, 25 January 2010 (EST)
  • I thought it was kind of creepy that Matt was going to live a normal life with his family after putting a serial killer in his wall. A bit odd of a move on Matt's part. I didn't see Doyle controlling Emma though.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 22:03, 25 January 2010 (EST)
    • He was on the right side of the screen as Emma was playing the Cello, moving his arms as if he were playing it, in Peter's dream.--Riddler 22:04, 25 January 2010 (EST)
      • This was a fantastic episode, but where was Amanda? Her mom was kinda lying there dead, and she was no where to be found?--Ratclaws 22:06, 25 January 2010 (EST)
        • She was hiding out in one of those giant plot holes the writers like to make once in a while.--Gibbeynator 22:12, 25 January 2010 (EST)
          • Personally I thought the strangest/coolest part was in the preview to the next episode where we are informed that rate of time in Sylar's Mindscape (for lack of a better word) is 1 year for every hour.This leads for some real character development on both Sylar's and Peter's part.Think about it.Peter would not be able to forgive Sylar in a few short hours, as that is unrealistic and poor writing in general.But them spending YEARS together gives Peter the chance to move on and forgive him, allowing for progression as a character.But that is just me, your thoughts people?
