*Jumps up and down* Bryan Fuller's episode! Bryan Fuller's episode! Yay! I didn't realize that Bryan Fuller was responsible for the writing, the shooting, the title art, and the special effects, but they're all so much neater this episode that I have to give all the credit to him. This is in no way unfair.
I can say with absolute confidence now that Heroes has been saved from itself. And the episode is, indeed, the best one since S1! I wasn't even annoyed by plot holes or discontinuity or general WTFery! Not once! Bryan, never leave us again!
And Mama Petrelli wins the entire episode!
HRG/Angela: They continue to have amazing dirty!bad!wrong! chemistry right through the roof. But I don't know who Angela's kidding. Peter couldn't hold a grudge if his life (literally) depended on it. It was, what, two seconds after he thought that Sylar was his brother and he was all, "He threw me out of a window, but he did it ever so gently. He must care about me!" Yeah.
Peter/Angela: And I'm proven right! Peter somehow displays awesome competence, and there just aren't enough squees in the whole world right now. There's a reason why he's Angela's favorite (and mine). I've been waiting for a genuine team-up between these two for so long. No doubt they'll meet up on the run with Nathan and Claire soon, and the whole Petrelli bunch will join forces and I'll officially explode with glee.
Millie/Angela: "You haven't been the same since Arthur died." Now, this lady is so Angela's friend. She's snarky awesome and she knew about the shoplifting! There are so many throwbacks to S1 in this scene and in good ways (yeah, I'm lookin' at you, Volume 3) that I'm overwhelmed by the awesome of all this.
Micah: And my suspicions are confirmed by the opening credits, which list Noah Gray-Cabey as a guest-star. Raise your hand if you're surprised. No one? Okay, moving on. He's so big now! Has it really been that long? And he's still snarky and self-righteous! And he's suddenly a snazzy dresser! Micah, I missed you! But this probably isn't the best time to be stealing money from banks. In fact, it's kind of the worst thing you could do just short of giving said money straight to Bernie Madoff.
Tracey: *Is dead?* Aw, damn, that pile of ice just blinked. She's still alive. So, maybe there's one disappointment in this episode. But I actually liked her for five seconds when she was with Micah. More of that, please!
Hiro/Ando/Baby: There aren't words for how much I loved their scenes. I've never loved Hiro and Ando more than I did during the cold-daddy/warm-mommy, "Don't cry or I'll cry" bit. And they hid in the closet! The subtext is back! *Remembers the "special friends" GPS device* Err, or maybe it never left.
Janice: She's back! YES! Now, Janice, go dig Heidi out of whatever closet Nathan stuffed her into.
Matt/Daphne: I was prepared to be royally ticked at the notion that Parkman can fly now just as I was ready to call Matt the biggest stalker in the world, but then Fuller wins again by writing the sweetest and saddest send-off a character has ever had on this show. Daphne, noooes! Don't leeeeave me! Besides Mama Petrelli, you're the only female character that I love. But I won't lie that I'm entirely open to a reunion of the Parkman clan.
Danko: OMG, creepy shaving! They stole that creepiness from Dexter's opening credits. I love how he's taking credit for Sylar's catches. Smarter than the average bear? Uh-huh. Speaking of Sylar...
Sylar: OMG, Sylar has a new crush, and he's wooing him with presents! Let's all give a resounding ewwwwwww. Seriously, dude, please go back to stalking Mohinder. That was hot. This? Not.
