Kring had better have a good cliffhanger this year. Yet another episode claiming to solve a puzzle which leads us right back to where we started. "HRG: Hero or Villain?" Seems like the answer is "Yes."

Oh, and just out of curiosity, I want an answer to this. A freakin' army battalion lands on a storage facility and then starts busting down doors in a public hotel AND NO ONE CALLS 911?????

The interest meter has dropped to yet another all-time low.

I didn't think there would be a definitive answer to the question. What bothered me more was that if the B&W scenes were supposed to be from HRG's memories, why were they in "third person"? And wouldn't the way he viewed himself (as hero or villain) color (no pun intended) his memories?

Having said that, the vignettes were interesting in their own way but this episode seemed more like filler than anything substantive.

And next week the Hunter goes rogue. Anyone want to wager that it will turn out that he has an ability also?

Last week's trailer and the ads leading up to this episode implied a resolution to HRG's true character, or at least that's how I interpreted them. And how often do "memory" sequences get told in first person, without the person remembering the scene actually in the scene? The scenes seemed to be more for Parkman et al to get clues as to what to do next, more than getting HRG's views on himself.

Speaking of Parkman, doesn't his power include the ability to create fictional perceptions in others, like his father's? I kept yelling at him to make the invaders believe they'd already kicked in his room door while actually skipping it.

The whole season has felt like filler.

No bet on the Hunter. It's getting like in The Incredibles: "If everybody's special, nobody's special."

Heroes drinking game (everyone takes a drink whenever):

1 - A character (HRG, Mrs. Petrelli, Nathan, Suresh, Sylar) switches from ostensible hero to villain or back.

2 - Someone travels in time

3 - Someone starts painting visions of the future

4 - Said visions involve the destruction of a large chunk of the earth or at the least a major city.

We could end the recession just based on the liquor sales that would result from this.

And ratings continue to go down and down and down. If this weren't a show on which NBC had lavished tons of attention and effort (and gets good demo ratings), it would be gone. Heroes gets less than half of Lost's viewership these days.

I was the only one in the room when they panned back and showed that. I said out loud, "What, again??"

Spoiler

Shall we start the pool on who gets to explode this time? I go with a revived Papa Petrelli, carried off in the nick of time by an illogically repentant Nathan.

Something the Hunter said in one of HRG's memories made me turn to my wife and say that it made me think he may have an ability.

Unless it is the abiltiy to make the show semi interesting again it won't be a very useful ability.
