[Movie] "Villains" - Heroes Season 3 Thread

From the lack of activity, I'd say everyone's given up on Heroes. Which is reasonable, considering the "meh" quality of this week's episode: "Our Father".

While story is shaping towards a conclusion, one of the biggest things to bug me in this week's episode is the Hiro/Claire back-in-time segment:

Spoiler:

After the touching scene between Hiro and his mother, to have Hiro lose the catalyst RIGHT after receiving them was like a big "FECK YOU" from the writers. Hiro's interaction with his mother immediately lost impact and after his talk about "growing up" and "saving the world", it ended up being a waste of viewers' time. Fair enough, Arthur did sneak up on him but the emotional investment beforehand was disregarded and thrown out.

Here's hoping the finale for this volume will at least be better than average. Hopefully

Jam it back in, in the dark.

On the other hand, it just undid everything in the season in its entirety.

One thing which appeared to be a contradiction to me was Ando's power not really doing anything on its own. Didn't he dominate future Hiro with it when Hiro checked out the future?

Spoiler:

Well, it was only one episode so perhaps they didn't show the full extent Ando's newfound powers. In terms of the future Hiro saw, maybe Ando amplified Hiro's power so much that he fainted. Or something. Bah, screw trying to explain Heroes ;__;

All in all, a decent episode considering the rest of the "Villains" chapter. Nathan's decision is something to look forward to, and with Fuller back in the writing team only good things can come out of it. Unless they bring in another turtle :/.

How ya doing, buddy?
