For those who care anymore.
Spoiler
- So Papa Petrelli's really dead? A bullet in the forehead kills supposedly immortal people? Hard to believe, since we've seen both Claire and Sylar take brain/head wounds and recover. Adam must have taken at least ONE head shot in 400 years, and Daddy should have had his powers of recovery.

- The Petrellis seem to have accomplished quite a bit in two months. Nathan goes from absentee senator lost in the Caribbean to chairman of a powerful committee. Or did that "lost" part occur between the election and the swearing-in? Peter becomes a paramedic, though I grant you that he is a trained nurse and has the requisite experience. I would think the civil service process and the other training would be a whole lot longer.

- Is HRG now head of the Company, appointed by Angela?

- Has Ando never tried jump-starting Hiro's power?

- Tim Kring has become way too good friends with the creator of "Lost". ANOTHER plane crash?

- And who is the catalyst, now that they've scrambled the timeline that passed it along? Did it die with Daddy? Or does Claire still have it?

- And, in my constant search for untied threads, will Peter EVER rescue (or even remember) his Irish girlfriend trapped in the plague-ridden future?

I suspect Papa Petrelli will be back. When Claire got the antler (tree branch? whatever...) in the head, she looked dead until it was removed, then she revived. The same will happen to him, as soon as someone extracts the bullet.

You're right about Nathan. No matter what secret info he's sharing with the president, the senate does not appoint absentee freshmen to powerful committee chairmanships!

I forgot how Peter got his powers back after Papa took them away--did he inject himself with that serum?

For all the security those guards were using on the plane, they were awfully unobservant while Claire was sneaking around releasing everyone!

Heroes is on probation with me. No improvement by the end of the month, I'm on to Rock of Love reruns. Why did they grab Hiro, if he's been drained of his power? The Nathan chairmanship requires the same suspension of common knowledge so much of this past fall's arc required. Since time travel is being back-burnered, Peter's Irish lass is toast. Where is Mohinder's "scabby stuff"? I thought Hamilton was an odd choice of college catalog for a show. I figured something more well known/ non-existent would be more likely. However, if you were going to hide someone from the world, it is a pretty good choice.

Ratings for Heroes continue to drop, as the show finished fourth in its time slot behind 24, The Bachelor, and CBS comedies. Ratings were barely above lead-in Chuck and a good bit behind Medium which followed at 10. All of this despite the fact that all three NBC shows were heavily promoted during the Super Bowl.

At this rate, it may not be Sylar or one of the Petrellis who finishes off the Heroes but that super villain Nielsen.

As long as it doesn't take Chuck with it, I'm fine with that.

Amen. I couldn't find a pair of the glasses, but I really wanted to see last night's episode in 3-D. Especially the first five minutes. :twisted:

GW walked in part way through last night's "Buy More playoffs", and asked what was going on. I told her she really didn't want to know. I was LMAO, though.

I will probably stick it out just to see if they can recapture the buzz that made it an early success. Sadly it is so full of holes in the storyline now that it makes the Lost plot seem simple by comparison. But it is one show that I will no longer be bothered by if it gets cancelled without resolution. Which seems likely. I would think it would have to be pricey to produce.

I still like Chuck OK so it is a little disconcerting that the ratings for Chuck are no better than Heroes.
