Tonight's Heroes


Okay, what was the last episode before they took their little mid-season break? I thought it was the one where Eric Roberts first guest-starred - the one where they took Claire's family hostage and then helped her get free. Did I miss any after that?

Tonight's episode definitely kept my interest, but I still managed to get confused enough that I ended up typing instead of watching and missed their break-out. Not a big deal; when I saw them all eating in the diner, I knew they'd gotten out, I just missed the specific details.

[SPOILERS]

If you haven't seen tonight's episode, stop reading here.






Okay, I have no idea where they were when they took Peter's body somewhere. I'm assuming it was his mom's house, but I do not recall her having met Claire and can't imagine why Claire would even be there unless I missed an episode or some important scene. I would say it was Claire's house, but that can't be, since her house got blown up and she couldn't/wouldn't go back there even if it hadn't for fear of getting caught. At any rate, I knew from the minute Peter was killed that she would end up in the picture somehow and save him.

Isaac is another matter entirely. I really liked how Hiro "met" his future self in the studio and am looking forward to seeing how that plays out, but as far as the Peter, Claire, et. al. bit, unless they get real specific for an episode or two, I can't really make heads nor tails out of it. I know just enough to be thoroughly damn confused. After what Hiro said about the past being different from what they'd experienced and seen in the future, and the fact that Isaac's body was gone when they got to the studio, I'm hoping he'll manage to come back into the story - alive, I mean - at some point. Though they all have their faults, Isaac was the only one who was truly flawed to the extent that you had to accept him, warts and all; a realistic character who balanced out a lot of the others whose personalities have yet to truly emerge thanks to the large cast and the constant shuffling between storylines.

Anyway, at the end of the show they provided an address where you can go and post your theories on how things are going to play out, but it was only up for a second. Luckily, I made a note of it (and found it since I started this post just moments after the show closed):

If that's incorrect, let me know if you know the right one. There's most likely a link on the site.
