Series Return: Heroes

Heroes: Season 1, Episode 19 ".07%" (B+)

What a welcome return from a series I used to put off watching in favor of "24." Now, I know that I made the right choice in watching this show live. Though things like H.R.G. (Horn-Rimmed Glasses, a.k.a. Claire's dad) thinking loudly to get Matt to hear him are a bit far-fetched, there is little I love more than having heroes come together, which they are doing en masse. By far the best part of this episode was also one of the first good plotlines involving Nikki. After hearing her vehemently refuse Linderman the use of her son's abilities, we see her smiling brightly as she sends her son off to "save the world today." And it turns out she is that terribly useful shapeshifter. A nice twist to a show that is getting better. And next week in the future, with Hiro meets Hiro, looks great.
