The ending scene though, when Arthur catches Hiro played too much in the rumor I've heard that they will kill off Hiro in order to fix the time travel problem and complains they've been getting. Which is just stupid, shows can handle time travel well if they are smart. Doctor Who has done it for how many years now? Heroes can pull it off too if the writers are smart and I think Hiro's reluctance to go into the past was a good idea for fixing that.

I heard a spoiler about Hiro (noooo!) and the Arthur thing fits into it:

Spoiler

He's going to mentally be a 10 year old or only remember his life until he's 10? So that's how Seth Green and Breckin Meyers-hot dang! He's hot. He was in one of my favorite movies of all time- fit in with comic books.

I thought that tonight's hero's was fairly good and clearly a big setup for next week. Not to mention that the teams are clearly laid out at the end. But it was the teaser for next week was "Holy C@#$", now that is a twist.

Spoiler

For a while I have been wondering that if Arthur Petrelli (Daddy) can also see the same future as everyone else then why is he trying to hard to come up with the drug to give people powers? It was not until I saw the teaser tonight that it hit me. The teaser says that the second eclipse will cause everyone to lose their powers.

Arthur Petrelli does not want to lose his powers, he is thinking short term, and wants the drug to give himself and his people powers and he will deal with the long term problem later.

Overall good episode with some really good performances. Next week looks too good.

Oh man! I wish I stilllived out there!

This seasons starting to look really good!!

OMG Sylar!!!
So hot!

And poor Ando has to live with 10-year old Hiro. Hopefully he can get him back on track.

[sgtpeper]

I actually think that Heroes is getting back on track and hopefully back to how it was during the first season.

I like how they have laid out the teams at the end of the ep. I also liked the Sylar Elle pairing and how they are finally fleshing out the Sylar character instead of just making him evil. I like that "Pacman" finally got Speedy. They make a cute couple.

They need to do more with Ando, but the character is limited since he and Hiro are the comic relief. I am still very anxious on how Ando got his power. I don't think it is as easy as it looks and I think that Ando may be the good guy in that sense.

The best thing about Heroes this season is they have kind of lead you to believe that Art's Guys are bad and Angela's Guy's are good. But i don't think it is that simple. I think that we'll come to find out that both are bad and both are good. IF the writers can convincingly portray that this season, then i think Heroes shall rebound and be as good, if not better than it was in season 1.

[dontbecheekin]

I think this show is so hard for new viewers to catch up. That's probably why the ratings this season are lower than normal. I know if I didn't watch from the beginning, I would be lost.

Great episode tonight with everyone losing their powers. My prediction from last week was a little bit off.

So the 0.10 question is will people get their power's back after the eclipse is over? I think that they have to or it's the end of the show. However, the characters that steal other people's power might not get the stolen ones back. What do you all think?

I'm not quite sure yet, but I think it's going to have to do with Claire, since she's the catalyst and it shows her fighting death in the teaser for the next episode..however I have no idea how it would work, I just think she's going to have something to do with it.
but that's just a hunch.

I liked last night's episode (I actually watched it when it aired!). Certain parts annoyed me (Nathan being mean to Peter and not trusting his brother; the 10 year old Hiro in the bowling alley-didn't we see that in the 1st season?) but I liked a lot of stuff too (with Sylar/Elle and Daphne/Matt.). I was surprised Daphne had crutches (then are her powers synthetic or did they come because of Arthur? Or the eclipse?), but it explains why she was running so far from her past. I was irked at the tease of Seth and Breckin. I liked what Claire had to say though, why is it always her? Seriously can we have it be like "Save the cop, save the world"? "Save the dorky asian guy, save the universe"? "Save the emo kid, save the state"? And Claire's hair is bugging me this season.

[Kuzcochik]

Last nights episode just really didn't do it for me. The idea of powers being gone was interesting but it was not well executed in my mind.
The pacing for this whole episode seemed off. It was like BOOM Eclipse BOOM Powers Gone then suddenly it ground to this halt and didn't do anything for the rest of the episode.
I did end up liking Seth Green & Breckin Meyer... it was subtle (though who's to say that will last) and the idea of comic books being the source of all knowledge was too good to not love.
Back on the issues of the main story. I'm still shipping Sylar/Elle like hardcore! They got very close to letting Elle slip back into that annoying state she was originally put in but they held back.
Finally, the last few scenes of this episode made me literally LOL (and kind of feel like a terrible person). The Daphne thing was not at all what I expected. It raised new questions and at thesame time just seemed like a very weird choice. Also the shot of sniper HRG was far too funny to be taken seriously.
I just don't know any more.

I somewhat enjoyed last night's episode. The biggest complaint for me was how dark it was, like visually dark, as in I know it's an eclipse and there is no sun, but I can't make out anything anymore. Maybe it was because I was watching it on my computer and my version wasn't that great, but even CSI is brighter than last night episode.

I really liked the scenes between Sylar and Elle, they make an interesting pair and it was really nice to watch them interact. I wasn't so enamored with Matt and Daphne though. Though I usually dislike romance anyway.

The HRG as a sniper aiming for Sylar seemed really.. out there for me. Even for HRG who is pretty set on eliminating someone when he has to, the whole sniper thing just seemed really silly and odd.

but even CSI is brighter than last night episode.

It was too dark. The people inside could turn on a light or two.

YES. We almost turned off our lights so we could see it lol
