I don't think we know whether or not he has to touch someone to take on a form, do we?

he could have taken some random person's form then bumped into sylar while they were searching the place.

hmmmmmmm, does hrg really believe that sylar is KIA.

if he's smart he'll take out that knife in the back of his head and see if he comes back to life or not...
 
well that was an odd episode. all the buildup about the sands place and they don't go there till the very end. seems it actually turned out to be a HRG story episode. only three more to go, going to need a hot streak to match previous season ender.

yeah, i was kinda mad about that too. a lot of hype about coyote sands and they give it 5 minutes at the end. there's always next episode though

I feel tricked!

I think limiting the supersayan powers is good for the show. If they all had their extremely powerful powers, the audience would always ask, "Why didn't he use that power and own everyone, or why didn't he freeze time, or why doesn't he just travel back in time and undo everything."

/golf clap

it's why the show was destined to suck from the beginning.

....and why the writers are desperately scrambling to recover the sinking ship (hopefully the original ones were fired?), and it's too late to matter.

where's admiral akbar when we truly need him?
 
Did anyone catch the preview for next week? DVR cut off right when HRG shows up at Coyote Sands...downloaded the whole episode to see that they just uncover a few more skeletons, and naturally downloads don't have the preview because it's in the credits.
 
After the skells there was a bunch of screaming and what looked like hrg getting sucked in a vortex or something.The included such small clips it was very difficult to really tell what was happening, other than it looks like auntie is coming back as a young girl.



And WTF is up with rebel, he finds his auntie not so nice and disappears from the show?
 
I was expecting the skeletons to be non-human. I figured the only thing they haven't yet covered in the show is the Roswell landing.

Next season slogan?
"Kill the cheerleader, save the show"

Actually the original head writer is back. The people who fucked up Volumes 2 and 3 got fired though.

Only problem with that is how do they fix Sylar? Everyone else is getting gimped, while Sylar is getting stronger.

Let's see... Sylar was given healing, so he's indestructible. Not only that but apparently he can survive things being jabbed into his head (re: Glass that Claire put there... the bullet that he coughed up after HRG tossed in there). He now is working with Denko, and has access to pretty much every power he wants. AND he has shape shifting, making him nearly untraceable now.

I'm sorry, but unless Peter gets his powers fully back... or they use Baby Parkman to turn Sylar off - which I think is probably the only plausible reason Baby Parkman was written in (remember, Mrs. Parkman fucked Matt's boss/co-worker in season 1 and was implied/stated that the kid wasn't Matt's).

I know I know - if they want to keep the show going they can't truly kill off Sylar. But it's ridiculous how powerful he is, hell - if he wanted to revisit season 1 he could go and nuke cities without giving a shit now since he's indestructible.

HRG shot him in the back, not the head. That's why he was yelling at him to get up. And the glass only didn't kill him because like HRG said it melted in the Primatech fire, bringing him back to life.
 
Something I didn't mention before from the fake sylar death scene. That was pretty neat that he used his telekinesis to pump out extra blood to make it look real.
 
What I really want to know is what exactly did Sylar learn from the cockroach way back in season 1...
