I found the episode boring, and as much as i like elle performance,the whole sylar elle thing was not even a little believable, Matt was the only source of entertainement for me....and even that was a little off,the structure of the show is its undoing...now just when we think we have two groups on each end working towards a final conflict....we get a depowered show....too many characters have spun a 360 with charcater development, and should be gone....and some who do not have a presence...should...i find myself not caring anymore...i still have a friend who comes over and watches the show with me...and to tell the truth...its the only reason i watch anymore
This episode needed some serious Bennet. Let's face it, he's the one and only bulwark against stupidity that our protagonists have. I enjoyed Parkman's scenes and the dynamic between Elle and Sylar.
And, for once, Peter uses his head, proving he's not a complete moron. Perhaps his stamina forces him to choose between powers and intellect, not both.
I enjoyed Parkman, Sylar, and Hiro, but Peter's scenes used some very blatant foreshadowing, and I didn't really understand what was going on with Mohinder and the ugly man. Still, this is one of the better episodes of the season.

I got everything!
Ended up watching Heroes instead of Terminator... some how I regret it
far better episode than last week... but still weak.
Elle was great (god I love Kristen Bell) and Sylar did held his own... I still can't quite picture him as a good guy, is almost as if the writers are trying to hard to turn him into a good guy ... it's so obvious... but what the hell?....
I do not like that he got Intuitive Aptitude at all, not one bit.
What the hell was the point of Peter getting Sylar's power?... if they got the same power... now it turns out it's not a "hunger" WTF? what the hell are the writters smoking?... seriously, first the HRG thing and now this..
Parkman was great... it started out weak, but damn!, that was great. It was a nice pay off at the end
Hiro...*sighs*... back to season one for him....
and who the hell draws the 9th Wonders comic? Issac is long dead... who drew it?... just another convenient plot device that will just go by...
The volume it's almost at an end, hopefully "Fugitives" can redeem the show

I doubt it... he say he didn't have the time to finished them... as if Hiro's adventures would not be completed...
But it'll probably go unexplained... though next episode we have Seth Green and Breckin Meyer guest staring... so there could be an explanation.... hopefully
.... I don't know wether I like it or hate it, but the Dr. Manhattan/Watchmen like "Sylar getting Electrocuted" scene irk me a bit... I now Heroes (like many others) borrow elements form Watchmen, but this one was an exact same scene, the exact same framing... more noticeable now with the Watchmen movie trailer...

I have thought of the possibility... but I always end up watching it anyways... Guess I can call it a guilty pleasure... There's still hope for the show... Brian Fuller coming back to it... It can work... LOST did it during the third season (most people stop watching it, but the show delivered one of the best season finale)... It could happen

I've decided to finish Villains but if Fugitives isn't better and Peter doesn't get his powers back soon I'm done. Seriously they've bent over like 90% of the things I loved about this show and screwed them all!
The characterization has just been shot to hell several times.
I mean really! It's like they've actually tried to make it as horrible as they can at some points.

It's not necessary to have that kind of credibility... just that it could have a little more coherence once in a while, a little bit of common sense and not just use twists for the sake of shock factor... it's not a Shamalan movie, twists are not all that necessary.
funny thing.. a lot of people stop watching LOST and instead watched Heroes... praising it for being the complete opposite of LOST.
the ending of this episode finally gave us a villains/heroes super team, with a clear focus on both team, and the coming episodes should take advantage of that set up, hopefully
tell when you watch "Company Man"
