I'd like to start out this week by sincerely thanking shows like Dexter, TrueBlood, Fringe... hell, even Smallville and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, because without them around to be consistantly entertaining I really would not have the iron will and constitution to sit through each episode of Heroes this season. What happened, Heroes? You came back with such a bang, and now it seems like you're fading away with a whimper - like you were all gung-ho to recapture your glory and then halfway through the season you just threw up your arms and cried "I give! I'll admit it - I have no idea what I'm doing!"

I think what bothers me the most about this season of Heroes isn't that the episodes are so bad, it's that they're formulaicly bad. Every episode seems to basically be one long string of "blah blah blah... here's the clearly defined mission for the week... blah blah blah... here's the problem that seems to want to prevent that mission from completing... blah blah blah... [insert male cast member shirtless or in some form of undress for the lonely female viewers]... blah blah blah... touchy-feely moment between two characters so that we can play the "drama music" and have the actors really tap into that high school emo saccharine sweet love moment... blah blah blah... shocking revelation about a character... blah blah blah... cliffhanger ending.
Take that basic formula, add in more waffling than a Bennett family breakfast, and you have the two-part Heroes event, "The Eclipse".

I'll admit it - I wasn't looking forward to this week's episode of Heroes. The last few weeks have been extraordinarily lackluster and unnecessarily complicated. I found myself wondering if this was going to be like Season 2, something to chuckle about later after all the disappointment had faded.
Thankfully, I was wrong.
Last night's episode of Heroes not only brought back some of the elements the show has been missing, but also kept the show moving at a brisk enough pace to stay on target without meandering too much in "ExpositionLand". All the key pieces are put into play for an action-packed volume finale, and while Hiro reminds us just why we like him so damn much, Peter reminds us that when super-powered people fight, everyone wins.
