Decent episode. I love the exploration of Sylar and maybe who he really is without his Hr. Hyde identity. Maybe he won't want his other personality back when it comes down to it.

Enjoyed Peter/HRG adventure.

8/10 - Great episode but not the best by far.

Sylar and the Carnies were cool but I still feel like there is more about the Carnies than we know at this point. Still so many questions and not enough answers yet.

Hiro and Emma were cute together. I still wish though that there was more to Emma's power already.

Peter and HRG :great combination. Peter's stopping time to see that he got shot was just flat out awesome.

Still waiting on Parkman and Strauss to show up. I'm glad though we didn't see much Claire in this episode. Next week seems pretty cool.

Decent, but not enough to keep my attention. I was actually busy with something else while I watched.

I don't know, this season is really slow going. :(

I loved seeing Charlie again, both in the mirror and the Hiro jump.

If Matt were in it, it would have been a "10".

they can't really bring Charlie back though, they'll have to make Hiro fail and that will just be sad and damaging

I thought it was a pretty good episode. I liked the Hiro/Emma stuff especially when he stopped time when everybody was clapping so she could touch the color stuff. I'm hoping Sylar will get all his memories back soon..And if he does, that knife guy better watch out!! I'll give tonight's show a 9..

I've really missed the Heroes interacting with one another and tonight, we got a LOT of it. Hiro and Peter. Peter, Claire, and HRG. Peter and HRG. Emma and Hiro. Emma and Peter.

Loved Peter's line about having not used teleportation in a while, trying to justify his landing in the bathroom.

Glad to see HRG back in action and back to his roots as a protector and/or keeper of superpowered people.

I thought the magic show scene was really cute and glad to see Hiro re-inforcing to Emma how to use the ability for good. She really needed to know that her condition wasn't a curse and not to be afraid of it. I love that she is starting to embrace it.

Enjoyed this episode, even though I almost had a heart attack when Peter got shot :)

Fun Episode, was kinda slow going but Hiro's parts were cute instead of the usual over the top silly, Peter's a pretty cool guy, Sylar is still a mess and the Carnies are getting scarier, i give it a 7.

9 for me. hiro & emma was super cool ,just enjoy you power & help others what a real hero will do go hiro go. peter & noah even jeremy helping people more true heroes. peter laugh was priceless , noah caring about jeremy was nice & jeremy is a good boy, just need training & noah is the best for it. about the carnies i tought samuel was the only bad guy ,but i was wrong. edgar was merciless to kill the cop just for fun. samuel looks smart and i wander what is his plan about when sylar go crazy & start to killing carnies who will stop him all together or one of those carnies has a haitian power or something like it

Very good episode, a 9 for me. Enjoyed it the whole way through, with the exception of some convenient plot holes here and there and some annoyances like the still boring/lame Noah/Claire father-daughter stuff, and the always annoying Hiro Nakamura...

- Hiro is STILL incessantly babbling about "heroes", about being a hero, about everything heroes.... "I'm a hero, you're a hero, we're ALL heroes! Can I have a hero sandwich, I'm hungry! Hey! I just realized, my name is Hiro, too! Can you believe that?" --> SHUT. UP. HIRO! Lol. Even at death's door he won't shut up. Why can't he just die already...WHY? :lol:

- Hey, Charlie is Emma from Glee. Funny. Also, she was in Paul Blart Mall Cop which I recently saw.

- How predictable was it that Peter would be healed by "reluctant/doubting" healer boy after getting shot. Did we even NEED a commercial break/cliffhanger moment for that?

- A silly scene was Noah trying to comfort Jeremy by telling him that he was touching him, but he wasn't dying. Well, Noah, that might be because you were touching his clothes at the time, dude. Lol, direct skin contact might not be necessary, but that line would have certainly worked better/been more potent if there was.

- Carnie T-Bag isn't doing the best job of maintaining his accent, getting a bit lazy. The Hiro actor slips up from time to time too, but he's for the most part consistent. Bagwell was really slacking here. Oh well, he's T-Bag, he's forgiven. heh

- And is it just me or is this series gradually becoming more and more "white". Mohinder is MIA, Micah's disappeared, D.L. is long since dead, the Haitian is almost always a no-show, Monica got written out quite some a while ago (just a few off the top of my head). Looks like one of the only non-white people left that gets regular screen time is Hiro--and homeboy is dying, y'all. lol Almost every new main character/hero/villain this season seems to be white--Emma, Jeremy, Samuel, Lydia, Edgar, Claire's lesbian stalker roommate...everyone. heh Anyway.

Once again, good ep.

8, I thought it actually moved the storylines along with Sylar starting to realize who is as well as getting HRG back into the role of proctor of supers. I thought the Hiro/Emma stuff was one of the better parts of the show. People who want powers tend not to want them at all which makes sense for Hiro to be the Professor X since he loves his powers and views them as a gift.

I totally disagree with the more "white" since Hiro is asian and a huge chunk of the show as well as Ando and his sister. The cop chasing Sylar was black as is the new invisible girl. Just because Mohinder isn't on the show doesn't make it more white. People need to stop seeing racism where it isn't.

I just noticed no one (at least that I have found) has translated "Tabula Rasa" yet.

Tabula Rasa

n. (Latin) blank slate (baby, person that has yet to learn his environment); something that exists in its original ancient or primitive state; fresh start, chance to start over without prejudice

Such stupid writing on the Peter/HRG part near the end. I know they needed to have Peter get shot to force the kid to heal him, but i wish they didnt have to make Peter a tool by waiting till the last second to have Peter freeze time and end up getting shot. He wouldve felt it too, instead of looking all happy that he froze time. Why not simply freeze time and they both walk up stairs to grab the gun from the kid? That way they can calm him down and say, "Hey look, you not the only kid with powers!"

Im loving Peter, especially after last episode with him getting Emma's power then interacting with her (sweet scenes). Its just frustrating to me to have them be lazy with his character like this, it makes him come off as idiotic when i know its a contrived plot device.

Other than that one scene Peter did fine, and the story was great, Sylar especially. 8/10 for me. Peter and HRG cant go wrong this season.

Brutally bad episode.

The number of continuity errors are becoming staggering.

- No one misses a US senator, including Angela & Peter. Does Claire ever even call Nathan ? Someone would notice he went missing you would think ?

- The Claire blood issue. This is how you lose viewers - you have the characters have/lose their powers and memories randomly. Like Peter & Sylar in season #2 and Sylar this year.
Apparently Claire's blood can regrow eyes and bring the dead to life - but not cure Hiro ?! Go frack yourself - hack writers.

- Could they telegraph the plots any more than they do ? I read posts by about 20 fans who guessed what would happen with the healer and Peter.
Except they expected Peter to regain his powers, but that is too much to ask from the producers. It seems Tim Kring would rather see Hero's go off the air than make any changes.

I honestly expect this to be the last year. I'll keep watching, but has anyone seen anything from this season that would bring back the first season viewers ?

This show just goes around and around and nothing happens :-(
