First off, this episode has no Matt so, you know, my attention was wandering a little from time to time.

 

I have to say that Sylar apparently is much more of a believer in the social contract than I am. Which is odd, given he’s a sadistic mass murderer. I base this one the fact that, well, there he is living in the same place and wearing the same clothes. I'm sorry if I was in an abandoned city for three years I'd be in the frigging biggest hotel around wearing the best clothes. Or, depending on the weather, I’d be Homer Simpson in the ‘Omega Man’ spoof episode, where he’s hanging out in the cinema in his underwear. There’s a good chance I’d do that if the weather was good and I’d worked out how to run the projection booth.

 

Kill him Sylar! Honestly, Matt’s come up with TWO count them TWO ways to permanently get rid of Sylar, and Peter ended up ruining both of them. One of them on purpose.

 

Way to grass up Matt, Peter. Does Peter have some reason for disliking Matt? He was certainly snotty when Matt was in the hospital post attempted cop by suicide.

 

At least SYLAR remembers he killed Nathan.

 

And why does Sylar need to help Emma? Does he even KNOW Emma? Why wouldn’t he just take her power and blow on? Oh wait, because he’s suddenly going to be a good guy. Blech.  Why is Peter still assuming Angela’s dream is going to remember. Anyone remember how Matt 'saved' Nathan in her dream?

 

I don't think Sylar wants to escape. He’s probably really pleased he hasn’t had to have a nonsensical existential crisis in ages. He hasn’t even had to deal with Hiro or Claire! It’s like a holiday...

 

In other news, Claire is apparently too dim to CLIMB OUT OF THE SKYLIGHT and is instead banging uselessly at a door in a trailer. Meanwhile yours truly at age 11 accidentally broke TWO windows in a caravan by pulling at the frame. Claire is utterly lame. Why won’t someone take her to kickboxing lessons or something? Or get her a weapon. She’s always being menaced and she has the ONLY power pretty much that can’t be used offensively.

 

Aren’t there any visitors at the carnival, what do they think is going on with the man tied up in the hall of mirrors and the girl in the trailer screaming and shouting? Maybe there aren’t any visitors, although that makes me wonder what they’re living on...

 

Er, isn't this the guy who turned Hiro into pop-culture-talking man? If I’d seen him do that I wouldn’t be turning him on Bennet.

 

ALTHOUGH pop-culture talking Bennet would be pretty damn funny.

 

I’m sure they were looking for someone to pay young!Bennet. I guess they couldn’t find anyone. Now Bennet flashbacks I have no problem with because Bennet is interesting, complex, and three dimensional, and doesn’t hang around whining about how mean everyone is. Like say Samuel.

 

He’s wearing a ring and kissing some woman that’s not Sandra. She BETTER be his first wife. I was really pissed off with the whole ‘nearly cheated on Sandra’ thing with Lauren. If he'd been cheating on Sandra I was about to blow.

 

Writing plays? Bennet is Cigarette-smoking-man? I appreciate stealing from the X-Files with the rest of them but come on!

 

We all know where this is going, right? A mean nasty special killed Bennet’s wife and sproglet.

 

Claire’s actually behaving like a grown-up, respecting her dad’s privacy. Blimey. Is he going to die?

 

Young!Bennet is dumb.

 

Sketchy guy! Shut the door! Argh, the television people never listen. Glass coffee tables - the doom of female genre characters everywhere. Didn’t anyone learn from Nadia in Alias?

 

Even so, I'm WAY more interested in that than Sylar and Peter. But then I’m more interested in Bennet generally than in wingus and dingus. I do however need more investment to care about the utterly predictable death! Did we even get a name?

 

 

So what do we reckon, has Matt gone out for pizza? Because this whole situation with Peter and Sylar seems to be going on, and on, and on. You’d think Matt would go in there if only to drag Peter out and stop him releasing Sylar. Maybe he’s sitting around the Basement of Doooom and Porn taking dirty photos of comatose Peter and Sylar. *OW I gave my brain an owie.*

 

Sylar got back to his old self pretty quickly. I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that Matt has apparently abandoned Peter. Abandoning people to their fates is... well it’s Peter’s job. COUGH* Hiro’s brain tumour* COUGH

 

Has Sylar never actually had a dream of reading something/watching something before? You don't need to know all the words Sylar, you just need the impression of having read them.

 

So, the Basement of Doooom and Porn is like... 30 feet high?

 

Lauren, weren't you shot? Shouldn't you be in a hospital? Is this the winter 'Dracula' look for CIA? I have concerns for Lauren’s job since she seems to be off hanging around with Bennet all the time instead of... you know... working for the CIA. Maybe she knows Eric Weiss, that would be cool J

 

Emma is also a grass! I think, I missed half of the words. She’s also very dim. Wow, she and Peter really are a match made in heaven.

 

Claire, is Damien still there? If not UNTIE YOUR DAD. Geez. Why’s she hanging around watching anyway, SHE’S not tied up.

 

Bennet’s memory is very helpful with it’s little ‘one year on’ caption. Do you think Matt installed that option when he was mindraping Bennet last year?

 

They should really start selling those maps with specials and strings. I'd buy one. You know what would be cool? If Bennet had a picture of Maury or one of the founders on the map.

 

I do like the wacky ‘Batman’ angles. But dear god what's happening with his hair? Is this an 80’s thing? I was 8 in 1985, I don’t remember if carpet head was ‘in’.

 

Man! Bennet just killed some poor guy just minding his own business. Bennet it was NOT an accident, I call BULLSHIT, you took a gun. O_o Did Claire just channel me? I’m actually not minding her this episode.

 

Thompson! I love me some Eric Roberts. You should all see his Master! Hammiest ever. His tweets are pretty good too.

 

In retrospect Bennet should've been far more protective on Sandra

 

Haha, Bennet, Claude probably IS watching you. You speciesist bastard!

 

Sandra!!! I love Sandra!

 

Are they taking the piss? Bennet/Sandra was an arranged deal? No wonder he didn't want Claire to see this. That’s gross and creepy. But I guess it makes sense given the way they fixed up DL and Nikki, and also, the way they handed Claire off to Bennet. A good twist, honestly shocking but still it makes sense.

 

I don't think Claire's going to be happy with Gretchen. Claire must be FANTASTIC in bed for Gretchen to put up with the shit she’s had.

 

Oh we’re back to Peter and Sylar who have not even changed clothes in the ‘months’ that have passed, let alone got any more nutty. That might’ve actually been interesting. FFS, Sylar's the one keeping you in there. Actually I can believe that Sylar’s mommy act, he's the clingy, over attentive type

 

There's 12 years between Nathan and Peter, how could they ever run to school together?

 

Sylar can take 3 years alone but a few months with Peter and he’s had enough. I can absolutely believe it.

 

Maybe Matt's phoning Angela, 'um, hey, you know that conscious son you had...' And when they get out the place is almost certainly going to be empty :P

 

Now there's a punchable face. Samuel is bad enough, but Samuel pouting on a giant painting? Yeah...

 

Dear Lauren, WHO is Samuel going to turn himself into and for WHAT Lauren? Geez. Causing an earthquake isn’t actually a crime, I’m pretty sure.

 

I want to see Bennet making out with Rene. Totally random but that would be so much more fun than Lauren.

 

Wow, how utterly lame is Eli? FFS how do both you know Claire hasn't just run away?

 

Hit him with the hammer! Either of you, both of you, hit him with the sledgehammer! Horrible, horrible dialogue.

 

Claire, just kick Samuel in the nuts please. Kick him and run away.

 

HAHAHAHA Hayden’s line reading of 'you're my hero!' was AWESOME. She needs a good writer is all, apparently. What's up with the reappearing, disappearing blood on her neck though?

 

They’re landing the carnival in Central Park? Won't someone think of the tramps and the squirrels?

 

Lauren escaped offscreen? HA! And she was SHOT FFS. Boy, Samuel, you need better henchmen for reals

 

Oh HA! The wall remains intacto

 

What? Why's Sylar suddenly gone all soppy? Like he wasn’t bad enough before. Let go of his anger? Peter he MURDERED YOUR BROTHER. What next, Mohinder gets over that pesky ‘murdered father’ thing and asks Sylar out?

 

Don't know how many years? Matt really has gone out for dinner and a show! Or he really is using Peter and Sylar to stage a show. Euwwww.

 

On the other hand, if Sylar genuinely has repented that means he's going to die soon! Whoo hoo!

 

Matt finished bricking him up! HA! When Peter arrives it was only partway done. That’s just HILARIOUS. Can’t say that Matt can’t commit to something. There you are bricking up someone alive when someone else turns up and collapses comatose on you so what do you do? Finish bricking them up, plonk the comatose person beside the wall, and bugger off for a long rest after a busy day of construction. Takes it out of a man you know.

 

So Sylar and Peter are all tight now? How vomit inducing.

 

Guys, Janice is going to be SO pissed at the mess you made

 

See Janice, I told you about leaving your door unlocked

 

Eli couldn't even cope with LAUREN ffs let along Sylar and Peter. Peter who still has Matt's power.

 

So when they have a chat and convince Eli to come over to their side maybe they’ll round it off by checking out Matt’s porn collection. ‘Huh, Parkman certainly does have a lot of Indian men porn...’

Where the hell WAS Matt? When Peter showed up did he just run for the hills like a good doobie? He truly is the smartest character in the show if he did. :)

And as far as Bennet's Bruce Wayne Secret Origin, DO NOT WANT.

Ah, show, stop being so entertaining so I can hate you like I'm supposed to instead of love you to pieces... :3

I know! That made no sense. I found it absolutely hilarious that he apparently finished bricking Sylar up before disappearing to wherever he went.

LOL at BatBennet, so true.

This was definitely one of the better eps in a while for me :)

With Peter lying right in front of him! I'm surprised Peter didn't have like brick mortar in his hair and shit!

BATBENNET LOLOLOLOL. Someone needs to make a manip of that. :)

Of course now I have an image of Matt carefully laying a dust sheet over Peter before carrying on :D

Ah so I'm not the only one who found it odd that Matt just ... left XD I mean he was warning Peter against it then what? Got bored, finished bricking the wall and went to watch TV. Perhaps Peter's convenient forgetfulness just rubbed off on him or something O_o I was hoping someone would draw attention to it but apparently not.

Also I feel like a bad Nathan fan but I was totally digging Peter and Sylar's admittedly unfounded bromance XP

Noo, boudecia7 and I were watching it going 'where's he GONE? Has he bricked Peter up in there too? Maybe he had the munchies.' Maybe they'll explain next week but I really doubt it. The spoiler clips seem to show Matt being surprised that Peter let Sylar out when Peter was pretty clear that's what he was going to do.

I can't take Sylar as a good guy. Quinto's a good actor so I can only assume it's a deliberate choice to make good!Sylar so OTT and unbelievable. Blegh :P

Ah yes, me neither XD good Sylar is rage worthy and yet no one but Matt and Claire seem to be acknowledging his evilness O_o as much as I used to love Sylar, hopefully he will get killed off then other characters can be explored. Though considering the way they usually go about characters and back stories, I'm not sure if thats a good idea any more XD

I think ZQ is a great actor and I enjoyed Sylar in season 1 but they don't know what to do with him so they keep retreating the same 'woe is me' storyline. They need to let him go and move on.

Not much actually happened, one episode left and it felt like filler.

You need to be on when boudecia7 and I are watching. Livens it up no matter how lame and dull!

I should! Watching that episode I was bored out of my mind!! :P

Even the most boring episodes can be enlivened by speculations on WTF Bennet has done to his hair, why characters pants are so tight, and where Matt has disappeared to :P

Only one more left! Maybe they'll kill Samuel and Doyle. *please, please, please*

Maybe it's like Tinkbell!Jesus!Doctor, if we all wish REALLY hard, they'' finally kill Sylar...

Eli is the only character that can have an orgy with himself.

But Samuel might be the only character who'd want to :D Although I Candice seemed to think Sylar might!
