HRG grabs the floorboard and knocks Elle in the neck with it. Why didn't he crush her skull? Hello people work with me here. HRG picks up Claire and carries her out, leaving both Sylar and Elle alive. ARGH. COME OOON! When are you ever gonna get another chance to kill him? WHEN? This show is putting me over the edge. Do you remember when it was awesome? I do. I had more hair then and I was ten pounds thinner. I digress. I digress because I am pissed. Sylar grabs the gun HRG left behind but by the time he aims, they're gone.
HRG gets Claire to the hospital. No, cuz that would make some f ing sense. He takes her home to bleed all over the couch. Her mom freaks out and asks if she can't heal why she's not at the hospital, and he says that he doesn't want it to seem fishy if she gets her powers back and heals. I think he forgot the second episode of the first season when she did just that and no one seemed to notice. She tells her dad she's sorry for being a brat and he thanks her for saving his life. She says it's actually good to feel some pain. AW! See, America, when your children act up you should get them shot. That's the only way they learn. Claire just has a shoulder wound, and we all know what that means because we've seen it a million times on Miami Vice. She'll be back in sockless loafers and blazers with t-shirts underneath in no time.
Next time you'll clean your room the first time I ask you to, young lady!
The three stooges are in the corn field trying to figure out where their powers went. Parkman is kinda freaking out, so Hiro starts throwing corn at him and telling him that a hero must stick to his quest. I actually didn't make that up. It's really happening right now. Throwing. Corn. Parkman catches a stalk, which is supposed to prove something. Hiro congratulates him and says "please don't hurt me" in Japanese. Parkman answers "I won't hurt you." So he knows Japanese now? Are there actual people paid to write this crap anymore or do they just tell the actors to make some shit up and use their Sprint phones in as many scenes as possible?
Funny, because I think Sprint is failing miserably, too.
Parkman runs off to save Daphne and Hiro tells Ando that he has an idea to get their powers back. They leave Parkman at the house and walk down the dirt road. Parkman's so gonna have hurt feelings. Hiro says that he learned the corn lesson from the "Saturday Samurai Matinee Showdown". It seems like they're getting everything from the Muppet Babies, the Saturday morning cartoon about MAKING SHIT UP. They have finished the comic book, but Hiro knows where to find more. Every town has a place where wise men gather. There's the Greek oracle at Delphi, the Library at Alexandria, the Ivy on Robertson...wow. Hiro knew a lot when he was ten. If you want a comic book, you should probably get to the comic book store. What'd I miss?
Suresh is recording himself singing "No Man Left for Me" into his tape recorder because he's so happy that his sickness is gone. He looks up Maya on Google and figures now that his skin is pristine again he'll go get a little tang. Papa shows up with Jethro and they force him to stay to get their powers working again. He's shocked. I'm sure Brad Pitt felt the same way the first time Angelina threw him up against the wall and told him he'd be spending quality time with their six brats instead of going out and doing lines with his friends. Who do you think you're working for, bitches?
OW my face! I just whale spermed you bastard!
Hiro and Ando arrive at a comic book store, and Ando thinks it's ridiculous. Looking for a comic book in a comic book store? THAT'S CRAZY! Stupid Ando. Hiro asks the clerk for the next issue, and looky there! It's Dr. Evil's tiny son standing on a milk crate alongside the stoner dude from Clueless.
Sinking ship? We're in!

"OW my face! I just whale spermed you bastard!"
Very funny indeed. I also especially enjoyed Claire's workout routine. Thanks for the recap flipit, hope your thanksgiving was off the hook.

I know this is a fantasy show and they're a little liberal with the whole "Science" thing, but do they really expect us to believe that a full solar eclipse could last an hour and take place in NYC, Kansas, and Haiti at the same time????? The earth is round for chrissake! They pulled this crap in season one, but I didn't care because I had a brilliant plot and decent dialogue to distract me. Now... not so much.

this. show. sucks.
it's hard to watch. seriously. but GREAT call on the ripping off of lost. it's so true. on the big reveal DUN moment where we see daphne unable to walk, my knee-jerk reaction was, "locke." so whatevs.
would it be possible to kill everyone off except sylar and restart fresh? i stopped watching this crap live last season, but it's about to receive the ultimate indignity: getting canned from my season pass list on my tivo.

Oh, dear sweet flip, how'd ya get saddled with this turkey!? Once again, the show kinda whirled on by without too much thought in my head, but seeing it disected here, mmmm, lame . . . . I hate it when I love a new show, and then it sucks donkeys!!!!
Well, I'm with Tadow, too funny, note to self, must find whale sperm! Anything to protect my skin from such scales . . .
I wont even comment on the show, tho, not even Mohinders bum can make me stop hating him and holding the FF while he whines and disects and craves some Maya tang . . . Hiro too, and oh yeah, that piece of wood that plays papa, how is it that Mama Patrelli and Claire's Mom are two of the finest actresses I've seen on these types of shows, and he is one of the worst I have ever seen, ever . . . more Momma's!!!!
