Talk 'Heroes': Dec. 8 episode
At this point, it seems like poor Zach Quinto is carrying Heroes all by himself.
Sylar was certainly the highlight of last night's installment -- and yes, part of me can't believe I'm still watching this show, but I'm determined to see how it all ends.
I used to love HRG, but he has been relegated to a minute or two per episode, if we're lucky. Hiro had a glorious first season, but it has been rough for him ever since, and memory loss rarely improves a character. This week, Claire seemed more confused than anyone about her place in the whole story, and the Hulk-esque left us scratching our heads.
Critics have had positive things to say so far, though:
- IGN calls it "a tight little episode."
- Zap2It says "scenes involving Hiro and his mother had a dramatic heft that the show has sorely lacked this fall."
- E! praises "the fabulous tag team of Matt, Daphne and Ando," which sort of baffles me, because those kids put me to sleep.
Anyway, what did you think? What did you enjoy/not enjoy about the episode? What does Heroes have to do to win you back? Once again, if you missed last night's ep, catch up online.
