When all is said and done, I did like this season more than last.

I was tearing my hair out over the Daphne-time-travel thing. Even if Einstein had said that you could go back in time by running really fast, he definitely did not say that if you could ran even faster you would fast-forward in time to get back to where you started! HMOG SHOW! STOP HURTING MY BRAIN!

The bigass silver lining to Nathan's personality transplant is that it means Adrian Pasdar gets to play Big Evil Corporate Guy again, which makes my inner still-bitter Profit fan squee.

Papatrelli did have Matt Parkman's mind-control powers via Peter, didn't he? Might explain Nathan's sudden turnabout. Or maybe he just has brain damage from the last time he was critically injured.

I'm handwaving that Daphne's power actually involves manipulating the flow of time in a limited fashion rather than just running fast (hence being able to break out of Hiro's time stops) and with a supercharge she was able to use it for full-on time travel.

Of course, even if not the writers are sort of being true to the source material, crackified though it may be. The Flash could do anything by running fast enough. I once read a spoof where the Wonder Twins turned into a goldfish in a puddle and the Flash ran really fast in circles around them, thereby returning them to their own dimension. It wasn't really much sillier than what he's done in the regular comics.

The "Heroes" version of the "Speed Force," which DC Comics came up to when they could no longer hide from the very, very bad physics of The Flash.

Timey-wimey stuff makes my head hurt.

What Theodosia says. I have to just go with it w/o trying to understand it too much. Particularly on Heroes where I don't think that they creators have put all that much thought into it.

I also enjoyed moments of Hiro with his 10-year old self, and with Kaito. (I came up with a theory that Hiro is better when he's speaking in Japanese than when they have him speaking in English.)

I have to admit that I was kind of hoping that Sylar was Angela's son but not Arthur's. Oh well.

I thought that Fuller wasn't coming back until the third arc this season?

I see no reason why Meredeth has to be dead. Even out of control, she's immune to her own powers. I suspect, once the adrenaline burns itself out of her system, she'll simply hightail it out of there. (Superhero trope #1: No body, no death. Alas, this probably holds true for Sylar, too. Sigh.)

I think that we were supposed to think that she exploded, a la Ted. If she makes it out of the building collapse, she should be fine. but, as you say, if there's no body, they will be back.

I want the dead people to stay dead. Show has too many characters already.

I know the producers have made noise about how "Fugitives" will be COMPLETELY UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE THE SHOW HAS SEEN, but isn't it just (bits of) S1 all over again with The Government standing in for The Company?

Noah always had to work under the radar, now they have the authority. Are they going to use the formula on the soldier's to create "sentinels"?

Well, it's better than another iteration of, to steal a joke from TWOP: "The world's about to end! We have to save Claire!"

I kid, but the biggest weakness on this show has been that it keeps trying to repeat the same story over and over again, and it bugs. If they can get back to real character stuff again, they might be able to get it back. If not, they're doomed. (Of course, dropping Loeb and the other writer and bringing back Fuller makes me hopeful.)
