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.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
