I was distracted twice though. Shirtless!Sylar had me thinking of all the Sylar fangirls squeeing all over the place. I am sure they enjoyed those scenes greatly! 10 year-old Hiro was cute on it’s own, but WTF as far as the story goes. His power is one of the reasons why doing a continuing super hero story is so hard; certain powers make a charater too powerful for a good conflict, so they have to mess around with them constantly to make it interesting. That is why Peter lost all his powers, I am assuming. Too Powerful! I just hope that the writers can get their creative game on, so we don’t keep ending up with lame, convoluted stuff like a 10 year-old Hiro.

I’ve been enjoying the twist on Sylar’s character, and I liked the Sylar & Elle scenes. He’s been so isolated from people for so long, it was nice to see him learning how to use a power from someone. (OK, does that make me a total dork? Probably. But I liked it!)

I didn’t think Angela Petrelli appealed to her husband’s love of her. I think she has the power of persuasion in addition to seeing into the future, and she used that to get him to let her go. The whole love thing was a distraction so she could use her power. Obviously Arthur doesn’t love anyone but himself.

Hiro’s scenes were fun (he’s always good for comedic relief). As long as they don’t drag out the being 10 years old thing for very long (like maybe just this last episode), then I can enjoy the brief distraction.
