What's to come:
* Who needs interrogation techniques when you have Matt Parkman? Next week, Matt works his magic to pull secrets out of HRG's head...
* The truth about Daphne's "death" will be revealed to our Heroes next week.
* First New York City almost blew up, and then Costa Verde was meant to blow up in the future, and now...another city is slated to go kablooey. (OK, it'sSpoiler:) We'll learn more about why and how
Washington, D.C.Spoiler:is in danger next week, and you'll be shocked by which Hero is implicated in the disaster.
Washington
... another city blowing up... and we probably see it through one of Matt's paintings.... facepalm
Jack Coleman said this episode was the "Company Man" of this season... how things have been going so far, it's hard to believe such claim...
it is center around HRG, but I doubt it has the depth and meaning "CM" had...
hopefully I'm wrong...

I suppose. The thing that bothers me with Heroes is that there is no need to keep recycling stories. If the writers cant think of any originals stories, why not "borrow" source material from the x-men's extensive history. The whole paintings/stopping future from happening its been over done durin all seasons. Give it a rest already.

To be honest, I didn't expect it to be as in depth and meaningful as The Company Man was to the series, but it still gave us the contrast between Danko and Bennet that I was looking for, and though we already knew that Bennet was in things to protect Claire, it did show us that he has some other motivations in that regard.
Definitely not on par with Company Man, but not such a bad episode either. I'm not sure what the word is, but I think this volume and it's passed few episodes have the same type of "atmosphere" as Season 1.
And now Mohinder is captured. Plus I read he doesn't have his bug powers anymore - which is lame. Now this makes the 13th thousandth character with super strength as a power. Lame.
I liked this episode quite a lot, but not for what the story told, but how it was done... centric episodes are quite pleaseant, cuz they got a focus and an structure, and not all over the place like most episodes.
Now the story was weak, and it lead almost nowhere (other than "go rescue Daphne"...)
I liked the episode overall
... but the ending!... facepalm why??? was that necessary? the first time it was good... it was great... but not now, not when one of the heaviest criticism the show receives its the repetition of itself, hopefully that will get dismiss by next episode, but it hurts the show so much...
