I actually really liked this episode. It seems to be getting better to me. And I didn't find Claire as annoying as I have lately, which is a nice change.

And OMGZ YES! Daphne's not dead! (I just saw the post above)

great episode tonight.. So glad they got the new writers, show is getting better and better each week.

Unless I'm mistaken, the new writers aren't having any effect on the show until about 5 more episodes or so.

And now that I've seen the episode, my comments:

For the half dozen time, Claire does something stupid and finally realizes, for the same number of times, that her actions actually have consequences! Whodathunkit!?

Throwing in the need of Homeland Security checking on them was odd because Nathan supposedly provided enough proof to start this already failing operation, and then someone is needed to get a hold on things and make sure things are up to snuff?

I'm really not liking how they're making Hiro even more immature than he originally was when the show started. So far, he's been more effective and in tune with the situation when he thought he was 10 than any other moment. I'm all for his funny stuff, but moping around like a brat because he wants to be the hero, have powers, etc? Give it a rest already, this guy should be having a more matured attitude by now after what he's gone through.

As it stands, the mission to India was a waste. Convince someone to not marry another person, to what end? Surely this side quest has larger implications that to prevent a girl from marrying a guy she didn't love. Only time will tell to see if this plays out to any purpose except for Hiro to realize something he should've known since the first season: that he can be a hero without his powers.

Then there's Tracy, who isn't a bad gal, intentionally killing someone, proving the point that people with abilities are dangerous. "Help me, but I'll kill someone because I'm mad." Eh?

All in all, it was a decent episode, I'm just not sure how much longer the government can actually run this thing considering it's largely been a failure.

The WORKING title for Episode 3x23 has been confirmed as 1961.

The 1961 title would make sense based on the casting calls about all of the "young" Company members. Working titles are common when writers are working on scripts and they are subject to change.

So as soon as we have anything more, we will let you all know, but for right now we will stick to 1961.

Source: The ODI

Here is a summary for you all to enjoy!!

1) They confirm who will appear in this Volume: Micah (Yes!), Monica (Maybe), Barbara and West (No), and Adam (He turned into dust)

2) During the transport plane crash when Peter absorbs Tracy's powers, in was an accident and like Season 1 Peter is still "trying to get a handle on his powers"

3) They are done writing Volume 4 and they give the following tidbits as to what to expect: Bridge. Tunnel. 1961. Sylar’s Father.

4) They confirm that it is great to have BSG writer Mark Verheiden on staff

5) In regards to the Molly/Arthur scene that was cut earlier in the season, no we will not see any affects of that scene. Not a part of the "canon"

6) No plans to see the other "specials" that were on the transport plane and several will killed in the crash including the one that got sucked out.

7) Episode 3x17 - Will provide us with more details about Daphne

8) Someone asked about more clarification about Peter's abilities here is their answer: "This is all just an expansion of Peter’s powers to absorb them on at a time. It’s going to take some time for him to get used to them."

9) Yes Sylar can absorb Luke's power via empathic mimicry

10) They confirm that "The Rebellion" will track down Sylar to get his help against Nathan, which could lead to the future we saw in Season 1 with Sylar replacing Nathan.

11) More about Peter's ability: "Peter needed to reconnect with his empathy. Something he’s been sorely lacking since this adventure began. Maybe this is the universe telling him he needs to go back to his old ways. "

12) As posted earlier today: The working title for Episode 3x23 is 1961 and we will learn more about The Company's origins in this episode

13) Sylar used Bridget's ability of clairsentience in Episode 3x05 and will use it again in two weeks (I assume this means Episode 3x18)

14) We will learn more about the Hunter, Primatech and HRG in Episode 3x17

6) Not really a biggie.

7) Hope she is still Alive

8) #2

9) Sylar is the Man

Give me a break. It's been a while since the explosion above NYC, why does he still have to get a handle on his powers? In the alternate timeline, a year after the explosion, he had as good a handle as Sylar (see the comic where he and Hiro break other specials out of a prison), and here we are today, further into the future than that, and we're told he still needs to learn? What a joke.

11) More about Peter's ability: "Peter needed to reconnect with his empathy. Something he?s been sorely lacking since this adventure began. Maybe this is the universe telling him he needs to go back to his old ways. "

So, they're hinting that Peter will learn to have more than one power? This would be another retarded decision if they go this route.

12) As posted earlier today: The working title for Episode 3x23 is 1961 and we will learn more about The Company's origins in this episode

Wasn't volume 2 supposed to be all about this? Ah well, they totally botched that so I guess there's more to tell after all.

I kinda figured that Peter wouldn't be limited to just one power forever, as it'd totally nerf him and the show. I look forward to seeing how it develops.

Mathachew, since it continually disappoints you, why do you tune in each week with such a critical eye. It's 45 mins of escapism entertainment, don't take it so seriously

Huh, I am pretty sure he is learning a NEW power, he never experience the same Before!

His father took his old power away, and he injected himself with BRAND NEW power, he still NEW to!

Whether it's gaining an ability by being around a person or by touching them, the end result is the same, so there's no reason why he should be learning to get a handle on anything.

And we've been through this before, the formula shouldn't be introducing new powers, it should be restoring the ones genetically encoded in a person.

Because the bar that the first season set has yet to be met by everything that has aired since then. It's running itself into the ground, which is most disappointing of all. Besides, I said the episode was decent, I didn't have nearly as many issues with this one as I had with the last few. I'd like, at the very least, for the show to make some kind of sense, like someone stating who Sylar's father is so that Luke or his mom would know who the heck his father actually is.
