Really weird that the ratings went up considering it was a pretty do nothing episode with the flashbacks...

and that's why it went up because the die hard fans got some answers to the questions about the company which was really good to see.

Ah, well I guess it was less interesting to me because I forgot some tidbits about the first season and was less entertained.

I don't really see how your post adds up though. Diehard fans are just that, diehard. They are going to watch the show regardless so if they were already watching that means more average joes turned in, which makes less sense. For an episode like that to make broader sense, they would have had to watch a bunch of previous episodes.

Are you referring to the non die hard but occasional watchers that semi know what's going on? I could see how they could get turned off by some episodes but how would they know to watch this episode unless they knew it was coming (which doesn't seem likely).

The fans probably who are semi watching i.e some people who post here probably saw the promo during the week and thought "wow 1961 a great episode to know what happened and why this was started etc" so they turned in...I predict next week is going to be good because its Sylar vs Nathan and that's something many people want to see.

What a crap ep. It's like they didn't have nothing good for it so they made up something pointless.

Yeah that last episode was just a waste of time. They dont have any more material, so lets just put in some flash backs so we can get some air time and skip over to the final episode.

Bla bla, Angela and her crazy sister....... Ugh....

The point of the episode wasn't so much that she had a sister. The sister was really more of the catalyst of the story which was why the company was formed in the first place. It also showed us why Angela is the way she is.

Yea hence what I alluded to in the last part of my last post. I guess I still have differing opinions on that but whatever.

So is Angela's sister completely out of the picture forever know? I mean it just seemed like filler when she "disappeared" at the end meaning they didn't have to flesh out anything else unless she "reappears" in the finale or something.

With someone that watches the ratings like you do, you should know that a nights ratings isn't really an indicator of how good the current episode is.

Its an indicator if the people who watched the week before are excited to come back and watch it again.

I quite liked this episode but it seemed to deliver nothing in the end. They could have made the episode reveal more but instead it ends with Sylar pretending to be Nathan.

I'm also hoping season 4 will be a reboot and make the show more structured. I don't know if splitting the seasons into volumes helps.

the episode itself was not bad. It was a good glimpse of the past and why the company was formed. The thing that I thought was horrible was the dialogue. Too many spilling emotions back and forth. Every scene was like, cry on my shoulder some one! Re-watch the claire talking to both her dads part in the shed. It was just so horribly shot. She walks up, starts spilling this person stuff, and then you see hrg and nathan move at the same time, take up poses.... just seemed too staged.

Exactly what I was thinking. It was a good episode from the flashback aspect but the rest not so much. I didn't like Alice's character and how crazy she was. They could of cast someone who looked like her as a child.

The Claire talking to Nathan and HRG scene was horrible. How the conversation started was just random and when HRG and Nathan moved together I almost laughed at how bad it looked.

No, we don't. Thats what ruined the show in the first place when they listened to people wanting more fighting, and it continued to nosedive into the crapper from there.

Actually it continued to get crapper when Claire's extreme "I can do what I want" "I'm a big girl now" whining started.

She whined like that during S1 as well, basically right from the start of the series. I don't even pay attention to Claire because her scenes never have a point.

Now Haydens getting film roles maybe she'll leave...that being said how much longer ca they keep Zach on the show with Star Trek already being a massive hit before its release.

Hes not the star though, and they have barely promoted him.

The show isn't going to last much longer anyway, I'd say 2 more seasons max. They can easily keep anyone they want for that long.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
