This episode was better, but there was still some sucking.
First, Hiro sparing Kensei's life. Will this dummy ever stop letting people live that have proven themselves to be evil? He did it last season with Sylar and is does it again this year. Let's come up with new themes this season. It will be fun.
Peter travelling back in time from the future when he didn't want to. Can he just learn how to control his shit already? Again, we saw this last year. That's it. Not as much awfulness this week.

We'll start with didn't suck: Claire's dad torturing the guy in Moscow by threatening to remove his memories. Clever. The only problem is that we have no idea why that guy was so reluctant to give up his information besides just because he's probably a team player for The Company. And we'll never know cause he gets shot in the face. Oh well. Back to what sucked.
The scroll reading this again. It was especially charming this week to start in the middle of an exciting action sequence of Hiro running through a camp with all hell breaking loose. Except that then the show decides to say stop, let's back up this story to when things got really exciting: the planning stages. Smart choice. This show needs more stalled story lines.
Oh, and come up with another pending disaster besides a destroyed New York City. Pretty sure that was covered in Season One. And poorly wrapped up.

Dumb stuff from this episode:
The guy from Fight Club who was the Irish girl's sister. The reasons for trying to get Peter out of the house when the frightening star of Veronica Mars was looking for him made absolutely no sense. Clearly, we just needed evidence of Kristen Bell's capacity for evil and that guy was expendable. It would've been more respectable for the guy to turn to the camera and say, "Well, my contract is up and I've enjoyed my time on the show. Bye."
The stupid shot of the Horn Rimmed Glasses guy walking around in Moscow. The effects in Wayne's World when they were saying "Hey, we're in Delaware," were more convincing.
Ando reading scrolls to find out what happened to Hiro in Feudal Japan. How come we were told Hiro's story without this dumb, time consuming device for the first few episodes, and now we have to sit through someone reading the story now? Silly.
The girl who can learn how to do anything. With the ability to learn anything, she chooses...wait for it... double dutch. Wow. Can't imagine why viewership is don't this season with sequences like that. And her boy cousin jumping around with her and smiling made me barf in my mouth a little. Cut it out.
And NBC, enough with the doves flying across the screen to promote that Phenomenon show. Figure out another way around DVR viewing please.

This one was neat. This is where we get to meet an exciting new character. Her name is something, she lives in New Orleans and she has the power to replicate anything she sees anything on television. And what better way for the show to demonstrate this than for her to cut up a tomato like a rose and then pull off a wrestling move. The dramatic camera zoom on the TV picture reflecting in her eyeballs really hammered the point home for me. (Thank goodness or else I think I would've completely missed it!)
And then I felt so sad when they were showing this girl's face and then cross-fading it into shots of New Orleans during Hurrican Katrina. I had totally spaced that that had happened there! What a dummy I am. I hope this woman rises to the occasion as it would be such a shame for her talents to go to waster at that dreary, old burger joint. She keeps saying she wants to be special, but she then gets a major setback. Have a heart, Heroes writers!
And how scary is it when the little girl sees the picture of Matt's dad and says "He is the Nightmare Man?" The answer: quite.
