Tonight we will once again be live-blogging Heroes. This week, evil Mohinder continues on his path to become my least-favorite villain and finishes what he started with Nathan and Tracy. Elsewhere, Angela tries to convince Sylar to save Peter from Pinhearst, and Hiro isn’t exactly buying what Usutu, the mysterious African man in the Universal Studios t-shirt, is trying to sell him. But, whatever; the most important thing to know about tonight’s episode is that Elle is back!

Kona Gallagher: So it’s that time again. Heroes! |
9:01
|
Kona Gallagher: We’re back in Africa, and I already hate it. |
9:01
|
Kona Gallagher: That’s a good point, Ando. What could be worse than the end of the world? |
9:02
|
[Comment From Bob Degon] At least the African shaman dude isn’t stereotypical at all… |
9:02
|
Kona Gallagher: This cocoon intervention with Suresh doesn’t seem to be going very well. |
9:03
|
Bob Degon: For neither him nor us. |
9:03
|
Kona Gallagher: I hope it doesn’t mean that we have to see Maya again. |
9:03
|
Kona Gallagher: Ooh, Peter’s abilities are gone forever? |
9:03
|
[Comment From Bob Sassone] The moral to the story: never hug your father. |
9:04
|
Bob Sassone: “Forever” doesn’t mean much in Heroes land |
9:04
|
Kona Gallagher: Those are big words coming from a guy with no powers. |
9:05
|
Bob Degon: Elle? |
9:05
|
Kona Gallagher: Bitch is back! |
9:05
|
Bob Degon: Love. It. |
9:06
|
Kona Gallagher: Aw, I missed her so badly. What’s going on with her face? |
9:06
|
Bob Sassone: Thought it was going to be Elton John there for a second |
9:06
|
Kona Gallagher: Ooh, that would have been good too. Would he be a hero or a villain? |
9:09
|
Kona Gallagher: I get uncomfortable when they try to make gameshows heartwarming. |
9:09
|
Bob Sassone: I don’t understand these ads for Deal or no Deal…they give away everything! Is that what you have to do to get people to watch game shows now? |
9:09
|
Bob Degon: It’s a show based 100% on random chance… I don’t think you can really give anything away |
9:10
|
Kona Gallagher: It’s cute when Claire tries to be scary. |
9:10
|
Bob Degon: Throwing water on electricity girl – that’s just mean. |
9:10
|
Bob Sassone: Lyle could have been electrocuted there. |
9:11
|
Bob Sassone: HA! |
9:11
|
Bob Sassone: Robert Forster’s great |
9:11
|
Kona Gallagher: I like how Suresh is looking at Arthur like he’s covered in poop. |
9:11
|
Bob Degon: Forster’s the best thing to happen to this show all season |
9:12
|
Bob Sassone: Wow, Petrelli is just sucking up these powers… |
9:12
|
Kona Gallagher: Maya, show us on the doll where he touched you. |
9:12
|
Bob Degon: Maya is now officially useless. |
9:12
|
Bob Sassone: I wonder if Suresh will say “take my powers too” and Petrelli will say “um…no, you’re gross.” |
9:13
|
Kona Gallagher: Heh. |
9:13
|
Kona Gallagher: Ah, Suresh wants the abilities with none of the consequences. |
9:13
|
Bob Sassone: Don’t we all. |
9:14
|
Kona Gallagher: Hey, I feel like I’ve been down this road before as well. Is it just me, or is this show really repetitive? |
9:15
|
Bob Degon: Sylar’s got a great nose tube. |
9:15
|
[Comment From Jane Boursaw] Hey Guys! |
9:15
|
Bob Degon: It looks like he’s getting chocolate injected directly into his brains |
9:15
|
Kona Gallagher: Hey Jane! |
9:15
|
Bob Sassone: The guy who directed this episode directed Jaws 2. Not sure why I remember that. |
9:16
|
Bob Degon: Sylar became a momma’s boy awfully quick |
9:16
|
Kona Gallagher: I love how Sylar is super creepy even when he’s saving people. |
9:16
|
Bob Sassone: I think it might come down to Syler vs. Pa Petrelli. |
9:16
|
Bob Sassone: Whoever wins gets a ton of powers |
9:16
|
Kona Gallagher: “Is there…something wrong with you?” Claire’s smart. |
9:18
|
Bob Sassone: Pinehurst sounds like the name of a funeral home. |
9:18
|
Kona Gallagher: Blonde field trip! |
9:18
|
Kona Gallagher: So what’s making everyone’s powers break down? |
9:18
|
Bob Degon: Daphne’s hair is seriously gross. |
9:18
|
Jane Boursaw: i can’t get past the fact that arthur petrelli sounds like andy sipowicz. |
9:19
|
Bob Sassone: Goodbye Maury |
9:19
|
Kona Gallagher: Good call. |
9:19
|
Jane Boursaw: Bob S. – do you have…special powers?! |
9:19
|
Bob Degon: So… Are Arthur and Angela the worst parents ever? |
9:20
|
Bob Sassone: Daphne should just run really fast to France or something |
9:20
|
Bob Degon: They must be the scariest at the very least… |
9:20
|
[Comment From cj] question- what changed between the “old future” present and the now present that woke up Pa Petrelli? What caused the butterfly? saving his brother? why? Am I asking enough questions :) |
9:21
|
Bob Degon: …I think it was Adam Munroe |
9:21
|
Bob Sassone: I try not to follow the timeline(s). I just sit back and watch the show and wait until it’s explained to me, heh |
9:21
|
Kona Gallagher: Hi CJ, thanks for joining us. I have no idea what woke up Arthur. |
9:21
|
Bob Sassone: Bond! |
9:21
|
Jane Boursaw: Didn’t Arthur take someone’s powers – and that’s what woke him up? |
9:21
|
Bob Sassone: He took Adam’s powers, Adam died in a puff of dust |
9:22
|
[Comment From cj] i know..i shouldn’t think about the timeline. |
9:22
|
Bob Degon: Poor Adam |
9:22
|
Jane Boursaw: oh right – Adam. |
9:22
|
Kona Gallagher: But I refuse to believe that Adam is gone forever. Because he is pretty. |
9:22
|
Bob Sassone: yeah, comes out of a coffin, just to die with a handshake |
9:22
|
Bob Degon: At least we get another pretty blonde thing this week – Elle |
9:23
|
Kona Gallagher: I refuse to believe a show could be so cruel that it would take away Adam, yet Niki/Jessica/Tracy just keeps on coming back. |
9:23
|
Jane Boursaw: And multiplying |
9:23
|
[Comment From cj] think he is really gone? or will hiro go back in time, change something and adam will be alive again ? |
9:23
|
Kona Gallagher: i certainly hope he will. |
9:24
|
[Comment From cj] I agree kona. |
9:24
|
Bob Sassone: I think Hiro could go back in time and fix ALL of this…but we’re not supposed to think about plot holes like that. :) |
9:24
|
Bob Degon: No one is really gone on this show, there are NO rules |
9:24
|
Bob Sassone: Lyle Style…oh God |
9:24
|
Kona Gallagher: Was that turtle a boblehead? |
9:24
|
Bob Degon: Oooooh… Are Mohinder and Matt going to rekindle their bromance? |
9:25
|
[Comment From cj] oh no. i like matt and daphne |
9:25
|
Kona Gallagher: Run away, Daphne! Stop being a dummy. |
9:25
|
Bob Sassone: can’t he control her mind? |
9:26
|
[Comment From cj] yes |
9:26
|
Bob Degon: Daphnatt? Mattphne? Have we moved past this name meshing phase in pop culture? |
9:26
|
Kona Gallagher: Yes! Someone is finally using their powers to get some lovin’. |
9:26
|
Kona Gallagher: Daphnatt. Heh. |
9:26
|
Bob Sassone: great plan Peter |
9:26
|
Bob Sassone: GREAT PLAN |
9:27
|
Kona Gallagher: Ooh, he was so upset he popped a button. |
9:27
|
Bob Sassone: “Don’t worry Peter…it will turn you into a bug!” |
9:28
|
Kona Gallagher: Bad luck for the doctor. |
9:28
|
[Comment From cj] i never thought i would love sylar, but he is one of my favorites now. |
9:28
|
Kona Gallagher: I’ve always kind of loved him. |
9:29
|
Bob Degon: I don’t think I’m digging this “Sylar Petrelli” plot twist. Seems silly. |
9:29
|
Kona Gallagher: I’ve never thought that I’d hate Suresh so much though. |
9:29
|
Bob Sassone: so Arthur will now take Syler’s powers too…THE END. |
9:30
|
[Comment From cj] yeah, i can’t stand suresh now. I want him to go away! |
9:30
|
Bob Degon: DId everyone hear Zeljko Ivanek is joining lost for Volume 4, fresh off his emmy win? |
9:30
|
Bob Degon: I’m excited |
9:31
|
Bob Sassone: yeah, that’s going to be great |
9:31
|
[Comment From cj] Where is Molly? |
9:32
|
Bob Degon: I think she’s at the kiddie table with Micah |
9:33
|
Kona Gallagher: I love Anthony Anderson and Jeremy Sisto on L&O |
9:33
|
[Comment From cj] i miss micah. probably the most of any who are gone. though Adam is a close 2nd. |
9:33
|
Kona Gallagher: I agree. |
9:34
|
Kona Gallagher: FINISH HER |
9:34
|
Bob Sassone: Wow, Nathan’s two women: Fire and Ice! |
9:34
|
Bob Degon: hehe |
9:34
|
Kona Gallagher: How do other people not notice Elle’s…problem? |
9:35
|
Bob Degon: Elle’s problem can’t be very good for the plane… |
9:35
|
[Comment From cj] true. didn’t thnk about that! |
9:35
|
Kona Gallagher: Indeed, Bob. |
9:35
|
Bob Degon: Oh for crying out loud, they couldn’t have rented a car? |
9:36
|
Kona Gallagher: they are clearly under 25, Bob. |
9:36
|
Bob Degon: True |
9:36
|
Kona Gallagher: Not even Heroes can get by car rental requirements. |
9:36
|
[Comment From cj] lol |
9:36
|
Kona Gallagher: That burning effect on Claire was pretty lame. |
9:37
|
[Comment From cj] Go Matt Go! |
9:37
|
[Comment From cj] maybe there will land on the LOST island :) |
9:38
|
Bob Sassone: um…ok |
9:38
|
Kona Gallagher: Damn. He punched a hole throught Matt. |
9:38
|
Bob Degon: Did they just kill Daphnatt? |
9:38
|
Kona Gallagher: Can mind control fix a gaping chest wound? |
9:38
|
[Comment From cj] i am not liking this! |
9:38
|
Bob Sassone: i think Hiro definitely has to go back in time now |
9:39
|
Bob Degon: Knox’s power is very dumb. |
9:39
|
Kona Gallagher: I always have this iPod song stuck in my head. |
9:39
|
Bob Sassone: Your fear makes him stronger…I had a boss like that once |
9:40
|
Bob Degon: Daredevil would so pwn him. |
9:40
|
Jane Boursaw: CJ – lol re landing on the Lost island. :-) |
9:40
|
[Comment From cj] agree, bob |
9:41
|
Bob Degon: When are all shows going to go to the Fringe advertising model? |
9:42
|
Bob Degon: psyche! |
9:42
|
Kona Gallagher: Uh… |
9:43
|
Bob Sassone: Matt’s power could come in handy, if Arthur doesn’t take it |
9:43
|
[Comment From cj] i really like this website and I know it is new. If you want people to chat here and enjoy, it you need to do something about how you post messages. This is the 3rd or 4th time I have been in this chat and my messages take so much longer to post and post out of order. Just a suggestion to make the chat better. |
9:44
|
Kona Gallagher: Yeah, that’s my fault. I’m still new to this coveritlive thing. You’re a regular, so I’ll switch you to “always allow.” |
9:45
|
Kona Gallagher: I want to learn the truth about his mother too! |
9:45
|
cj: Thank you! |
9:46
|
Bob Sassone: I hope Maya is getting on a train and going far away, heh |
9:46
|
Kona Gallagher: God, you put a girl in a cocoon once, and she gets all bent out of shape. |
9:46
|
cj: I feel sorry for Elle. It’s not like she wanted any of this. I would love to see the two blonds get together and “save the world” lol |
9:47
|
Kona Gallagher: Me too, CJ. |
9:47
|
cj: Ok, Hiro has to go back in time! |
9:47
|
Kona Gallagher: “Just kick his ass and let’s get out of here.” Love it. |
9:48
|
Bob Degon: Is Sylar really this easily manipulated? |
9:48
|
Bob Sassone: Peter doesn’t really make good decisions, does he? |
9:48
|
Kona Gallagher: He just wants daddy to love him. |
9:48
|
Bob Degon: A half hour ago he just wanted mommy to love him |
9:48
|
Bob Degon: (new mommy) |
9:48
|
Kona Gallagher: HE NEEDS A LOT OF LOVE |
9:50
|
cj: Anyone watch the show Witchblade? I think it was on TNT. |
9:51
|
Kona Gallagher: No, I’ve never seen it. |
9:51
|
Bob Degon: I watched some of it, yes |
9:51
|
Bob Degon: Just the first season, I think |
9:51
|
Kona Gallagher: How did he fall that far and just look confused? |
9:52
|
Kona Gallagher: Don’t do it Elle! |
9:52
|
cj: at the end of the first season they used the witchblade or something to rewind time back to the time of the season premiere. i think they need to go back to when Peter shoots his brother and stop the press conference differently. reset time. |
9:52
|
Bob Degon: That totally would have broken John Locke’s back |
9:52
|
Kona Gallagher: Ha! |
9:52
|
Bob Sassone: yeah, why didn’t Peter die? I guess there’s a reason for that (maybe Syler made him drop slowly?) |
9:53
|
Bob Degon: What were you saying earlier about not thinking too hard about the plot holes, Bob? |
9:54
|
Bob Sassone: ha! I think I was right about Syler making Peter fall slowly |
9:54
|
Kona Gallagher: Hmm. I think Sylar is hiding something. |
9:54
|
Bob Sassone: oh god, now Daphne is lying? sigh |
9:55
|
Kona Gallagher: Good call Bob S! |
9:55
|
Bob Sassone: “it’s alright, she’s good.” Ha! |
9:58
|
Bob Sassone: Hiro, just eat the magical peanut butter, save the world, and shut up |
9:58
|
Jane Boursaw: Maybe Hiro will get his own turtle. |
9:59
|
Kona Gallagher: Seriously. Stop asking questions, Hiro. |
9:59
|
Kona Gallagher: Of course he’s going to be okay, Ando. Don’t you know what show this is? |
9:59
|
cj: at the end of every episode I ask myself…why do i watch this. but every week, i am back watching it again :) |
9:59
|
Kona Gallagher: Oh, no new episode next week, I guess. |
9:59
|
Bob Sassone: what a lame way to end the episode, as if Hiro is dead |
10:00
|
cj: next week SNL night before the election. |
10:00
|
Bob Sassone: wait, Syler was with Elle years ago? huh? |
10:00
|
Kona Gallagher: Oh, that makes sense. |
10:00
|
Jane Boursaw: Hmmmm!!! |
10:00
|
Kona Gallagher: Maybe they went to camp together. |
10:00
|
cj: band campl |
10:01
|
Kona Gallagher: Elle played the electric guitar. |
10:01
|
Kona Gallagher: Thank you, thank you. I’ll be here all week. |
10:01
|
Kona Gallagher: Tip your waitresses. |
10:02
|
Kona Gallagher: Since there won’t be an episode next week, I’ll see you two weeks from now. |
10:03
|
Kona Gallagher: Thanks! |
I feel like a need a score card after this episode to keep track of who is in league with whom. So many alliances were formed, broken and double crossed in this episode that I’m not sure who is on whose side anymore.
The best line of the whole night was when Mohinder asks Arthur how he could put his son through his fake death. Arthur replies “Have you met their mother?”
The episode title Eris Quod Sum means “I am what you will be” and I understand that it’s a motto often used on gravestones. Does that mean there will be more deaths?
I loved when Lyle doused Elle with water – apparently it not only put a damper on her power, but her chronic bad mood. Unfortunately, I’m not impressed with Elle’s latest storyline.
