Official Description for "Landslide"

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]S LINDERMAN ARRIVES, NATHAN CONSIDERS THE COST TO WIN THE ELECTION; MALCOLM MCDOWELL, ERIC ROBERTS AND GEORGE TAKEI GUEST-STAR -- Poised to become a member of Congress and maybe more, Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) considers the cost to those he loves, along with his mother's (guest star Cristine Rose) advice and Linderman's (guest star Malcolm McDowell, "Entourage,""A Clockwork Orange") prophecy. As he prepares to face Sylar (guest star Zachary Quinto) to the death, Hiro (Golden Globe nominee Masi Oka) learns of his lineage from his father (guest star George Takei, "Star Trek"). While various "heroes" fatefully arrive in New York City, Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) and Ted (Matthew John Armstrong) attempt to leave the city before the foretold explosion. H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) and Matt (Greg Grunberg) learn the surprising truth behind the tracking system used on people with special abilities. Santiago Cabrera, Noah Gray-Cabey, Ali Larter, Hayden Panettiere, Sendhil Ramamurthy and Leonard Roberts also star. Clea DuVall, Justin Evans, James Kyson Lee, Missy Peregrym, Eric Roberts, Rena Sofer, Adair Tishler and Jackson Wurth guest-star.[/FONT]

Also probably referring to the massive amount of momentum being built up by this episode with regards to the finale.

I don't even have a clue how this show will end and to be honest, I'm not going to bother making a prediction. I never in a million years thought they'd kill off the other characters, so seeing what's coming next is beyond my abilities.

the whole "3 part season finale" thing is crap. it's not that at all, it's just 3 more episodes, one of which is the actual season finale. the 2 prior episodes are nothing different than just regular episoded leading up to the events of the 3rd. just a ploy for ratings or something.

still good stuff, though, and easily the best show on tv today.

No, I think it's actually pretty sensibly viewed as a three part finale. The way episode 21 left things wasn't typical of Heroes. It was too obviously leading on to the next episode, with the cliffhanger not so clear as it ordinarily is at the end of an episod of Heroes.

Aside from that, Hiro should just transport Peter/Sylar/Ted to the desert when they're about to explode and then transport himself back out of harms way. Problem solved.

 

[Mysterio]

then chalk that up to editing, because story-wise, that was one dragged out, useless episode. all of the critical info could've been shown/told in two minutes.

Geebus,Hiro has become such an annoying pest for the latter half of this season.Seriously,I would love to see him bite it.I cannot stand the childish wimp-like nature of his character.

The Petrellis are once again the most interesting part of this show.Looks like Papa was one of Linderman's superfriends.

I think I know the next tagline: "Linderman and His Amazing Friends!"

well, i disagree, seeing as that nearly every episode of heroes ends on a cliffhanger, more or less, but, whatever. no big deal.

and yeah, hiro could fix the whole situation in like, under a second. but then we wouldn't have much of a show, i guess.

"landslide" reffering to Nathan winning in a Landslide victory.

Also I would wager a tongue-in-cheek reference to the Dixie Chicks cover of the Fleetwood Mac song "Landslide".

Can't wait for the season finale, altho i'd be sad cos it'll be another long wait for next season!

Problem with that is that he finds it difficult enough just to transport him and ando to a specified location. Imagine doing it with 4 people whilst panicked. Add into that the fact that while he was trying to concentrate sylar would be trying to kill him and you have a pretty tricky feat

As a final point hero needs physical contact with anyone he transports, short of pete,ted, hiro and sylar all having a big old group hug I don't see how this would be possible.

So yeah, that's why...

Looks like Linderman's superfriends included not only the [BLACKOUT]Petrelli parents,but also Hiro's dad.[/BLACKOUT]
