I liked the character OK, but I really hated Rohm's hair.

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.
It was interesting seeing HRG back in the midst of the season 1 stuff and being normal, and not super-dramatic "is he evil?".
I'm more or less satisfied with how the Charlie thing played out. There was much potential for badness, and they mostly avoided it. I liked her taking Hiro to task for being selfish. And also that she forgave him/understood it.
Though again, I have to wonder WTF Hiro is thinking. Exactly what part of "Happily Ever After" involves his terminal brain tumor. Great, he saved Charlie, but he could keel over himself at any minute. Which is the sort of thing you might want to mention to the woman that's willing to uproot her life and go to Otsu with you. And was he planning on just potentially (should the tumor let him) living through the last 3 years over again?
Still not digging the carnival storyline. I guess I just don't grasp what Samuel's goal is. You want to bring all these people with powers together so badly you're willing to order the deaths of a bunch of people. But why?
And going back an episode or two, what was the point of bringing the cop to the carnival to kill him? I sort of understand the trying to push Sylar back into being Sylar, but killing normal people was never really his thing. And you had the man show up with his family. Isn't that going to cause some issues when their husband/father just disappears while they're all at the carnival together?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Kalshane, ITA wrt to Hiro and his brain tumor. I don't know why he didn't make Sylar fix him too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did they never tell Hiro how they were going to heal him? What does he think he's skipping out on? He could have, theoretically, brought Charlie back for healing. Is an aneurysm something you can excise?
eta: wikipedia makes it look like something you want to clip or block up, nsm with the cutting unless he's cauterising after himself now.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Jayma Mays is Charlie! I love her but it took a bit of the suspense out of it knowing she's got a full time job on another show.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Yeah, I had to doubt that Sylar could really do that.
I also disliked the retroactive almost-adultery.

Yes. They tarnished HRG with that.

Also, do they all just run to the Haitian to have him wipe their memories when something goes wrong? He's a person, not an appliance.
I do like that we got some forward movement on what's going on with T-Bag.

Wow. No one else watch Heroes tonight?
And grr. Why do the writers not actually have any cojones? I was like "Holy shit, I can't believe they actually went there. Bravo for Parkman." and then the preview happened. Blah.
Also, the Haitian finally has a name!
