Nope. And as far as I can tell,
Spoiler
you could have skipped both episodes and not missed a thing. It looks to me like they're effectively right back where they started as they were choosing up sides.
And,
Spoiler
why does Sylar need Elle's brain? He already had her power, and had supposedly learned how to take powers without the open skull thing.

For a supposedly intelligent and experienced operative, HRG left himself far too open to Sylar's attack in the warehouse.
I'm beginning to see why people are disillusioned with the show. The plot seems to be going nowhere, and taking a horrendously long time to get there.

When is Peter going to rescue his Irish girlfriend? Or even remember her?
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Yeah, we've gone back further than these two episodes. The whole plot arc about Sylar learning empathy and possibly becoming a hero on the road to redemption has been discarded. A little time without his powers and he's back to evil!

Well, I guess this means that that future trip we saw a while ago, where Sylar had a tiny tot & was practising empathy & all, 'til pressed that is, is not coming true. Considering the future in question I guess its aversion is a Good Thing, but all in all I agree we've wasted time invested in "good Sylar"; for someone who killed his own mother, he changed awfully fast anyway, right?

We've all waste time on this show, but are still watching, right?

I liked last night's episode. It gives me hope that they are getting the story back on track.
Spoiler
Although I'm still hoping for a redemption for Sylar. He's a great character. Not as great an Benjamin Linus, but great nonetheless.

Agreed. It's getting so that he and Ando are the only characters I care about.

Ditto. I think they should chuck all the other characters and call the show Hiro.

I'm pretty much the opposite. I groan out loud every time they are on the screen.

Anyway, they're time-shifting the show a little bit, so the last two weeks, the last minute or so, plus the coming attractions, didn't get tivo'd. This might be the last straw for me. But anyway, can someone tell me if anything happened when
Spoiler
Hiro and Claire showed up to spy on Claire's adoption?
, or if I just missed the "to be continued"?

Teenaged Claire just recognizes that she's watching baby Claire being handed to HRG, but what this great revelation will mean is "to be continued". Hiro still hasn't recovered his own memories, AFAIK.

I think the trip back to the roof is going to be important for both Hiro and Claire. Hiro will probably recover his memory, and Claire will finally resolve her love/hate relationship with HRG.
