Last night, on Heroes

This is my first post in Blogger's updated system. Can you feel the quality?

I must say that I was a little disappointed in last night's episode of Heroes. I expected more than the incremental pacing of each storyline in a show that culminated in a lack-luster battle between a guy who can rip off locker doors with his mind and a guy who...can't rip off locker doors with his mind. Is it too much to ask from a show about people with super powers to have a super fight now and then?

And we never learn why saving a cheerleader will save the world. And what if Peter saved the wrong cheerleader?

I liked the interactions between Ando and Peter, Micah and D.L.. I liked the fact that two of the antagonists in the episode, Mr. Bennett and Nathan, acted from completely understandable motivations. Eden's power was supposed to be a big reveal but it wasn't too much of a stretch, given what we've seen of her interactions with Issac. I liked how she used it though, and how she worked in tandem with the creepy Haitian Who Erases Memories.

In other news, I understand that New Line - the company that produced the Lord of the Rings movies - will now produce The Hobbit. Alas, Peter Jackson will not be the one to direct the movie. Oh well.
