He showed up in the 1st episode this season. He was driving a cab and picked up Peter. And no, this isn't some crack joke about an Indian driving a cab - it's really what happened.

Part of the problem with Heroes is esp. the people here don't follow close enough. It's a more cerebral show with the side stories and non-linear timelines at times.

They should stick with the Simpsons or South Park...

I want to know what is going on with the carnival guy?? He can control the earth, and move it around. He can control ink, and make it show him pictures of people of interest on that girls back. He can also make the ink turn into a hand and choke people. And with this past episode, apparently he can make the entire carnival, with rides and everything, appear out of nowhere, and then disappear. His powers are so vague, and each one has no relationship to the other, how would you define his abilities?

I was wondering this too. Wtf is this guy's actual power.

Is Claire getting fatter this season or has she always been that porky?

she needs to move to another show I can tolerate, because man is she nice to look at... at least in the latest commercial she was.

Porky? wow.

I think the guy's power is probably any that is in / was in his carnival.

I don't know the importance of having the 'table full' yet.

I am sure on the heroes forums they have hashed it out.
 
question: wtf is going on with this last episode?

i saw hiro make sylar save the girl, then he transported back in time on a little moped/motorized bike and left? wouldnt that negate him saving the girl since he went BACK in time?

ugh.

I think he took sylar somewhere far on the moped, then teleported himself back to Charlie.

Regarding the Carnival guy, Samuel, I think his only power is moving earth. Everything else he does is just someone else taking cues from him.

And Claire has always been a little short and... thick. Think sounds a bit harsh. She's not fat or porky, but she has no figure.

Anyway, I think I may be off the Heroes bandwagon. There's too many story threads that don't get followed up for weeks. The characters don't behave in any consistent way. And this main plot line with the carnival is going nowhere. It's getting tiresome.

Haven't watched my copy of last episode yet, but thought previous was pretty good with a bit of action and finally putting faster speed behind this years plot.

Can't wait to see how hiros quantum leap thing works out.

And peter really needs to become unneutered. Wonder what would happen if he touched sylar?
 
just watched, very interesting. so now we see about suresh. thought we were about 10 seconds from seeing ninja hiro (well, maybe if he had a sword 😀)

looks like claire and peter are main focus for the next episode.
 
After the subplot of Hiro and Ando in medieval Japan ended, the series does nothing for me. Hopefully, they have an episode where Syler kills everyone and then commits suicide by jumping into a volcano. Kinda like how Jericho needed to have the guy with the nuke in his basement slay everyone in that town by detonating it.

Screw both of those shows!

Even though “Heroes” is at our near series lows with Adults 18-49 it is still one of NBC’s better performing shows and its second best scripted drama, trailing only “Law & Order: SVU.”

At the current level, I can’t see “Heroes” not being renewed. The ratings of course could continue to drop to the point where it’s a different story. But given the ratings carnage NBC has suffered, even if “Heroes” falls to the levels where “Fringe” currently is, I think it’s still a keeper. It could be retooled and re-launched perhaps, but a keeper nonetheless. It has strong international sales (though those will likely be weaker when attempting to sell an additional season) and still, relative to most shows very strong DVD sales. Those DVD sales are way, way down from season one, but still in the upper echelon of TV show DVDs. Of any show on NBC, only “The Office” surpasses Heroes DVD sales in the USA.

Especially with the ratings carnage NBC has suffered, I can’t see NBC not at least trying to get one more season from the show. Again, that’s based on the current ratings. In March, if “Heroes” is pulling a 1.5 adults 18-49 rating, that’s a different story.
 
My wife watched an episode with me for her first time since after season 2 perhaps. She said it has become awful.

Peter has become useless and does not have his older power which was far better than his current crap. I have seen every episode of Heroes, but I am done until Peter gets his old power back. It made the show much more interesting to me.

How was Hiro able to basically will his power back after Arthur and yet Peter injected himself and got this horrid crap? According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiro_Nakamura touching Parkman's son started his power resurgence. Weak excuse.
 
parkmans's son has the ability to turn things on and off.

what i'm interested in is now that it seems the non-power related portion of the peter-deaf chic story is done, where is that going to develop to.

Crap, I didn't know Fringe was doing poorly. Hope its not cancelled.

Hard to believe how low NBC has fallen when Heroes is their second highest rated scripted drama show. Though with Leno, NBC doesn't have very many scripted shows at all.

I just don't buy that he can turn a power back on after Arthur sucked it out of him. His ability appeared to be mechanical related. If he actually has the power to turn powers back on he needs to go touch Peter.

What about Ando being able to amplify the crap out of a power? If Hiro had anything left (which he should not have had anything left like Peter), Ando should have been able to amplify it to a point he could have pulled it out.

Weak plot line attempts by the writers, extremely weak.
 
interesting ep; so we see there is still a possibility of the nathan return...not sure why they didn't use claire since the body looks fairly good.

samuel's brother looked interesting, too bad he didn't last.

not sure how many eps are left for this season, but feels like they are starting to push for conclusions now.
