The episode was ok. Hiro's storyline was the best... sweet and heartbreaking. And I like the fact that Hiro's powers are "bigger" than he is and that he "can't change the past." It's a good way to keep his powers in check.
But I also wanted them to be a bit more explicit about what it is that Sylar does to get his powers. There doesn't seem to be a reason to be so mysterous about it anymore. What does he do once he slices their heads open? Maybe he just rubs their brains all over his naked body, and that magically gives him the heroes' powers..... Ok, maybe not, but just tell us already!
And I'm still pretty ambivalent about the Nikki/Jessica storyline. I want it to tie in to the other storylines soon, because it just seems insignificant otherwise.
Ok, one last complaint (i love the show, really, i swear): Flying Nathan looked really, really hokey. You'd think they'd have the special effects budget to make that look a little better...
