To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I do believe it is!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

He REALLY believes it is.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Was kind of "meh" on the episode.

Though did anyone else think during the future street scene "Everyone’s a hero in their own way/ In their own not-that-heroic way"?

Art Crawl!!!

I liked the people meeting up and then flying to the office.

It reminded me of a Scifi Channel station break.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ha!! You're right, it totally does.

I thought this episode was omg!melodramatic to the point of absurdity. I rolled my eyes out of my head multiple times, but I think it was "I didn't run fast enough" that made me shout,"Seriously?!?" The fact that Peter and Sylar couldn't immediately kick everyone else's asses in that scene annoyed me, too.

I'm usually pretty forgiving, but the writing bugged me this week. Maybe I had my cranky pants on too tight.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The fact that Peter and Sylar couldn't immediately kick everyone else's asses in that scene annoyed me, too.

It helps to remember that Present!Peter is kind of a moron.

Well, there is that. Also, I'm not entirely sure he can use more than one power at once, except for perhaps autonomous abilities, like regeneration. And I don't think he's particularly quick at switching between them.

Also, the "heroes" directors still can't choreograph a multi-person fight scene with powers yet. They're getting better, but it's still a big weakness.

I think what bothers me is that every scene is starting to feel climactic, one big emotional moment after another without some of the everyday interaction that used to provide a contrast for those OMG! moments. And yeah, I get that Peter is a moron, but Sylar? I don't care how domesticated he's become--if a bunch of people hold his son hostage, I don't buy that he wouldn't use even ONE of his powers to act. I mean, he could have used the mind mojo to kick the guns out of their hands and throw them up agInst the walls to start. We've seen him do it before and with less provocation. Bah. And Mohinder and Peter seem to be getting exponentially stupider every day that passes. I guess I just miss moments with these characters that remind us they are, in the end, just people.

But, as I said, I may just be feeling cranky.

I do still love Hiro and Ando together.
