[...] this was a great move on NBC’s part. Heck, at one point fellow scribe Kofi Outlaw said that Bryan Fuller should be writing every episode of Heroes. Kofi further went on to demonstrate that all NBC needed to do was keep Fuller and director Greg [...]

US MARCH 30 PREMIERE SPOILERS

What was the name of this Chapter, “Almost Incest”? Did anyone else feel queasy during the Nathan/Claire scenes? There was a time when Nathan (unshaved as usual-what is it with these Petrelli boys?) was in a corner of the hotel room talking with Claire. He had one leg bent up against the wall and I think shirt half buttoned. His pose struck me like a fetching Abercrombe & Fitch look. I got creeped-out vibes from lots of the dialogue and sometimes the proximity of “biological padre” and daughter. I’m not saying the story was hinting at this relationship–just that it had heavy overtones. Between other characters I’d call it sexual tension.

* Bad editing? Hours and hours seemed to go by in the HRG/Sylar/Danko story, but cross-cut to Nathan and he’s still in the drinking contest.

* I like how Sylar takes on the powers of a shapeshifter and assumes his true identity right in the passenger seat of the car, across the street from HRG, while saying it would be wise for him to stay disguised.

* Why is it that everyone that Sylar approaches screams bloody murder, as if they have all read his file and know what’s coming?

* Tom? Hiro? Daphne? Micah?

* Next week, apparently Angela’s sister…so we consume more time on the Petrelli family, while some of the cast is neglected for weeks.

This is pretty crazy. I popped in House to watch the season 4 finale, because that was so good, it almost should’ve been a movie.

And then all of the sudden movie trivia smacks me in the face. Greg Yaitanes directed this. Same guy who directed that episode of Heroes, and who I just heard of when this review happened. Freaky.

@rawpower

that’s scary. it would take him two seasons of fixing things to just get Clark back into high school, before he could start doing anything people wouldn’t wanna throw up about.

OMG!!! is all I can say! I have been watching Heroes goes steadily downhill from season 2 (but even that was better than season 3!)
I mean how many people can be related to Claire?? It just got more & more ridiculous! I was so happy to hear of Bryan Fuller’s return & boy was I NOT disappointed! totally amazing! won’t spoil but soooo worth watching!! amazing!! kept me guessing which is VERY rare!

Def the best episode this season.

I’m pretty positive anyone who only saw Season 1 and the last 2 or 3 episodes could guess rebel was Micah. It’s just what a great job they did with that scene and the ‘Cold Snap.’

That episode was standalone greatness. It should be the response to all the jaded fans who are too skeptical to love Heroes again. This was it’s own Heroes movie.

Which is why it should get better than an 8.7, whereas even the other eps this chapter should mostly be at least that level.

Vote Right people, this show’s worth it.

Great Episode. keep’em coming.

This volume definitely hooked me on Heroes again. And I love it that Fuller is back (even though it meant that Pushing Daisies had to wither…).

I agree that this episode stood out from the rest in this season. I knew SOMETHING was different about it, but I don’t follow news about writers, etc. so until reading this board, I had no idea that one of the “original” writers took on the challenge. I DID notice that after the hiring of new writers after the strike, the show became chaotic and purposeless. I do agree that this episode had remnants of genius in it, reminescent of the first season. I hope that Bryan Fuller is allowed to write MORE episodes. “Cold Snap” was the most excitement I got out of watching “Heroes” in a long time.

Hell yes! I posted it on mid-week open discussion, and I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that thought this was a return to form. This episode didn’t having me sit through to see where it was going- it took me along, pulled me in-got me hooked all over. Truly heroic in the end for Ms. Strauss. And Parkman’s epilogue. And Hiro’s return to being Hiro(now if they could get that damn baby to zap Peter, or Ando to zap Peter, so Peter would quit being Rogue and start being the only true Superhero that’s destined to battle the one true villain on the show, Sylar)-too many awesome moments to name. This was the show’s much needed retcon. Every comic gets outlandish at some point and loses fan base. This Fuller guy seems like a Frank Miller for Heroes. I would let him keep this up.

Best episode all season and they finally did something I wanted to see happen from the first season. I was very happy.

So…Breaking Bad was great on Sunday, and 24 was great on Monday, Heroes was incredible too, Medium always leaves a good taste in the mouth, TV doesn’t exist on Tuesdays anymore, Lost was really great last night and so was South Park. If 30 Rock and the Office are great tonight, and Dollhouse lives up to last week’s promise of genius.

This will probably be the best week of TV, for me, ever.

I would prefer it if Hiro got his Teleportation powers back instead.
His abilty to stop time reminds me too much of Piper Haliwell from Charmed.

Well, the writers’ strike hit Heroes the hardest in the second season but thats’ no excuse for the lame ending of season 1 and post-strike episodes which were directionless to say the least!I agree with Carl Lee, lets wait and watch(hopefully great episodes) how they round off this volume and maintain interest in the characters and possible future developments.

Not seen this episode yet in the UK but have felt this series has been a big improvement on the parts before – excluding the first series.

Seems everyone loves this episode so that has to be a good thing. Rarely do scifi fans agree so much.

I haven’t hated any episodes, but some were definitely weaker than others. I think that the show never got as terrible as some feel. But, then again, I don’t watch much TV these days.

Woah, hold on a sec. Not so fast people, it’s just one episode. Call me a skeptic, but can Heroes really redeem itself for two lackluster volumes in one episode?

There’s 5 chapters left and the creator is probably going to write those. Maybe he’ll pull it off, but I’m guessing the end is going to drag and have a weak fight scene like the first season did.
