Alliegences Formed, Broken on Heroes 'Eris Quod Sum'

I don't understand what Mohinder needs to do. Don't they already have both halves of the formula?

I'm wondering if there isn't a third part to the formula. Just because we've seen two pieces of paper doesn't mean there isn't secretly a third section cleverly ripped from the middle of the original. That's my guess anyway.

The bucket-o-water thing was great. I'm glad to see Elle back on the show - she had an interesting introduction to the series that sort of wound down as it went. But at what point do Claire and Elle declare that they're now BFFs!!!!!1111oneoneone and start to do each other's hair?

Though I'm not liking where this thing with Daphne is going. And Sylar, for all his strengths as a character, is remarkably weak-minded. Or he's really really good at convincing people that he's following along. A few well-spoken words from someone and he's suddenly their puppy dog. Though I have to wonder how much of it's real, given the heroic thing with Peter's drop?

I think Maury is really dead... it was interesting seeing Claire and Elle bond... Did anyone see how that was helpful to the story besides getting claire to Pinehurst in time to find peter falling out of the window? and likely getting Elle done in by Daddy Petrelli... the Death of Parkman totally faked me out... I don't think Sylar is all on board with daddy and he did spare Peter... I suppose we will see him get his powers back after Mohinder and Daddy start experimenting on him... Pretty uneventful episode overall i think... not really any questions answered from last week were there?

I think we'll just have to see if Linderman reappears, since we know that Maury is behind that illusion.  At least Parkman finally used his ability to great effect.

Which of the smart blondes had the great idea to get on a plane when one of them is a electrical mess? I mean I get the need for the plane drama and the timing of getting to pinehurst....but they are not giving blondes a good name with that one. 

Also, Why are the broken?  Maybe Elle is going to evolve into pure electricity (kinda like wireless)  and maybe Claire's powers are just evolving as well.  There is still a lot we don't know about the origin and nature of powers in Heroes world.  Genetic yes, but what of manufacutred powers (do they grow?), what the eclipse (will we ever find out that secret?).  Does everyone's powers evolve (Matt's has and Claire seems to have...)

This season feels very forced to me.  Its like the are rushing to get things out there and then gloss over them. 

For example:  Maury dies, matt finds out (looks half sad), next scene he'e feeding his turtle all happy.  I know they weren't the closest people but a second of grief would be nice.  The show tired to be about families but glosses over it now...

Another example is the slyar thing: in coma, gets mommy speech, go saves peter, gets caught, works with daddy after speech (possibly).  its just so rushed with very little depth...

The Parkman thing made me snap out, and I was about ready to end my time with the show. Finally got to see him use his power and seconds later hes dead? Then I thought about it.

This allegiances thing has to stop. Pick a side, end it there. The Sylar thing is starting to annoy me as well. All in all, great episode because it made me scream "WTF" two or three times.

Profchaos: The show isn't about "families" its about "a family" -- The Petrellis. Just wait, soon we'll find out everyone is Arthurs son, not just Sylar and the other two.

Also, what the @!$%# is with Claire? She's not broken, when Sylar took her power he SAID "I had to cut your nerve endings." HE took her feeling away.

This show is always a couple episodes away from losing me, and it didn't do itself any favors (in my eyes at least) this week.

I kind of understood the Sylar thing with Angela (he's had parent issues since season 1 if you remember the episode where he went to see his adoptive mom, and he doesn't actually want to be bad) and I don't think he's seriously working with Arthur, since he saved Peter.

Knox instantly became my favorite character on the show when he "killed" Parkman but my friend and I instantly figured out that there was no way that was a real death. Bah. Foiled again.

I'm glad to see Elle back, Claire annoys me more every week. Glad to see Maya gone, but how did Mohinder get the drop on Sylar? That guy used to be unstoppable.

Also, Nathan's going to go "stop" his dad? With what? His unstoppable power of... flight? And does Meredith really have to walk into every scene with the fire in her hand thing?

I'm actually interested to see Knox's back story. I like what we've seen of him so far, and it looked like he felt something like remorse after he "killed" Matt and Daphne.

I don't like the way they have Syler acting.  When the show first started, he was the MAN, even though he wasn't a good guy.  Now, he's like all wishy-washy and it seems like he'll believe anything anyone tells him.  For example, did you notice how easily he accepted the story about what his mother did to him when he was a baby?  I couldn't figure out if he really bought it or if he listened to Peter when he said don't believe him.  It's obvious as the nose on your face that one or both his parents would say ANYTHING to win him over to their side. 

I don't think Peter's powers are gone for good; he'll get them back someway.  With Mohinder and the formula, they still have to perfect it and that's why he's experimenting on people.  I think Maya will be back.

Clare gets on my nerves too because she's always ready to go out and kick some bad guy ass, but she doesn't know how to fight and she doesn't use her head.  I know she's still a child, but come on, she's a hero -- she should be smarter and not make so many stupid mistakes, like when they were with the puppet master and she pulled the stun gun on him.  A stun gun????  Come on.  And I think she and Elle are going to square off at least one more time before they become friends.

well if peter's power are gone there is really no reason for him to be on the show he is my fav character to but there is no way they can take him off he is one of the most popular chars on the show and most ppl that do like him is because of his powers being the so called swiss army knife of heroes

Apparently Africa is the new place to go when we don't know what to do with your storyline.

Actually, if my hunch is correct, Africa and the pre-cog painter who's name I don't remember is probably who organizes the "real" heroes of this volume against the real villians--both the Company and Pinehearst.

As for your questions with the formula, Arthur did say to Mohinder that they didn't have a successful test with it, so he's asking Mohinder to basically combine the two to see if it works. My guess is that Arthur isn't wholely telling the truth--my guess is that the formula Pinehearst has doesn't give people abilities, but controls people who have the synthetic abilities.

so if he does get his powers back does anyone think he will get EM back but just have to start over with the power copying thing

that guy with the power to open small blackholes was pretty powerful i kno he's gone now but if sylar got his power or peter they wud have became to powerful that guy is one of the few people who could defeat a group of super powered guys with little effort

What I'd like to know is how Arthur came to be lying in that bed for 2 years after supposedly having been dead. Who "saved" and then preserved him until the time that Adam could be found to give ailing Arthur his life back.

What I wanna know is who helped Arthur with his staged death (if that's what it was) and who preserved him for the previous year (or was it two) until the time when Adam could be summoned in order for Arthur to steal his life and get his butt outta bed. Who was running Pinehurst? Why was Arthur bedridden?

I'm not liking the fact that we have to wait to see how everybody became heroes.  It felt really strange not watching it last night.
