One big question down, one to go...

3.11 "The Eclipse, Part II"

Okay, within the first 3 minutes of this episode a new question suddenly became way more important than "who's writing 9th Wonders?". At the end of the last episode HRG was watching Sylar and Elle through his sniper sight when Sylar pulled Elle towards him and they started making out. And now, at the beginning of this episode they're tangled up together on the floor basking in their post coital bliss when he starts shooting at them. It should be obvious, at this point, that the question is: Did HRG really sit outside that house looking at them through the sniper sight the whole time they were having sex? Because that is downright creepy.

The next most important question is: Is he really such a crap shot that he missed them while they were lying perfectly still and he had a sniper?

And once again I can't see a damn thing that's going on. Why is it so dark even when they're inside?

Mohinder wailing on Flint was pretty funny. And speaking of funny, does Sylar have frosted tips?!? This is not the direction I want Zachary Quinto's hair to be going in. It needs to regress back to last year's hair. The hipster fauxhawk was working for him.

OMG, "In Hiro's origin story..." Are they serious with this shit? Also, way to go Breckin Meyer. I'm glad it took him the same minute and a half it took the audience to figure out that their powers would only be gone during the eclipse. At least not everyone in the Heroes universe is a moron. Just the heroes. I must say, though, "Yeah, I'm Matt Parkman" is an hilarious sarcastic comeback that I really wish I could start using in regular conversation.

Holy Hell! If it wasn't so completely obvious that all of these people are going to be completely fine and able to heal as soon as this eclipse is over then this episode would be downright nerve wracking.

What the hell did the Haitian just do to his brother? Kill him by erasing his brain?

Um, I have to hand it to them. That bit with Hiro jumping in and systematically removing everyone from the Bennett house was pretty amusing.

And they just answered the "Who's writing 9th Wonders?" question by possibly retconning Isaac's comic book production schedule. I guess that's fine. They can't use this just-do-what-the-comic-book-says thing as an impetus for action anymore. Unfortunately that means the writers will have to get some kind of grasp on character motivation if anything else is ever going to happen.

Oh! Oh! NO! If Elle is really dead then I'm quitting this show. I mean it this time. Dammit show! Do not do this to me! You finally got me back and you're throwing it all away. I needed Sylar to be conflicted and vulnerable. I needed him to be the bad guy who tries to be good. And now I realize that that's what this show has been missing from the beginning. The Wildcard. The Spike. The Sawyer. The Logan Echolls. The Kara frakkin' Thrace. I need a tortured soul to root for. Preferably one who fights against his very nature to be a good person for the woman he loves. And if what this show is going to give me to fill that void is fucking Mohinder and Maya then screw it. God I'm so angry I could scream.
