[fu manchu]

Eric Doyle is still alive?

 

[Ryudoz]

Eric Doyle is still alive?

Hurm. Sounds like another plot hole incoming.

 

[shadowdog]

Matt is about to level capitol hill????
I wonder how?

 

[Maximus One]

Oh wait didnt you know?!?! Matts telepathy has evolved not only to the point of thought manipulation and precognition but to telekinesis as well!!!!

 

[Lando7763]

I don't think they mean, "level" in the sense of destruction; more like balance out. It mentions that he finds himself in the spotlight, prior to that. Maybe the media gets wind of something heroic he does, and as a result, he ends up in some sort of public office. This wouldn't be all that different from what happening with Norman Osborn right now. And trust me, I'm not one of those "Heroes rips everything off" guys; just throwing it out as an example.

Besides, "wholesale destruction for the greater good," isn't really Matt's bag. Someone as impulsive as Claire, maybe, but not Matt.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

So Maya will be back this episode eh?

 

[Matt]

Why would Claire or Rebel really help Eric Doyle evade capture? He is better off captured, is he not?

 

[The Chairman]

Why would Claire or Rebel really help Eric Doyle evade capture? He is better off captured, is he not?

They're probably going to portray it as some moral dillema where Claire feels she's being a hypocrite by leaving one and saving all the others. Kind of like when anti-death penalty advocates make those who support it feel bad by saying "How are you better than them?".

 

[Koz]

So Maya will be back this episode eh?

I doubt it. Dania Ramirez is a season 3 regular, and as such, her name appears in every press release. Her name has appeared in all press releases this season, even for episodes in which she didn't appear. I think she's gone.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

Oh okay...didn't know that. Thanks

 

[Lando7763]

Damn. After tonight's ep, looks like Matt is going actually level Capitol Hill; like blow it the f**k up. Way to throw a curveball, Heroes.

 

[bullets]

Matt won't blow anything up and you know it.

 

[chaseter]

It would be great if Matt blew himself up but yeah...not gonna happen.

 

[Mdizzle]

Heroes tonite! Sweet. Looking forward to seeing John Glover as Sylar's pops.

 

[shoelessthunder]

Yeah, tonight's episode should be pretty good. I think Sylar's dad tries to take Sylar's healing ability that he cut from Claire or something from the spoiler pics. Like he has a terminal illness or something. And I don't really care what happens to Matt...and judging by the fact that the address that Hiro and Ando got telling them to save Matt Parkman was in California, we probably will have to sit through our third week straight with no Hiro and Ando. I know some of you like that fact, but it makes me sad.
Oh yeah, and Claire sucks, so who cares if she helps Doyle...actually, Doyle is cooler than Claire, so I hope she does.

 

[Mdizzle]

Yeah, tonight's episode should be pretty good. I think Sylar's dad tries to take Sylar's healing ability that he cut from Claire or something from the spoiler pics. Like he has a terminal illness or something.

If Sylar's dad does somehow take his healing ability...it will be an interesting twist, seeing as Sylar was the one untouchable baddie. Making him mortal again, so to speak, would present a lot of new challenges.

 

[fu manchu]

sprint sneak peek of tonight's episode, featuring everyone's favorite character:

 

[Booznian]

I'm so pumped for this episode!

 

[Mdizzle]

Yeah me too. I'm trying to ignore any spoilers heh. I like to be "surprised"

 

[Havok83]

Ugh, I hate Puppet Man. Why did he have to come back

 

[SuBe]

He's terrible. Another wasted villian.

 

[Booznian]

Eh, Idk. I don't like Doyle.

 

[PyroChamber]

I missed the first part, what happened?

 

[Havok83]

what the heck happened to Hiro? I just realized that its been weeks since he's been on
