Heroes Re-watch: “Hiros”
Is it bad of me that one of my standout moments from this episode was Hiro saying “That hurt more than I thought it would” , after he gets kicked out of the van!? Perhaps it’s just my (strange) sense of humour, but that so cracked me up! As did Ando who took Hiro’s word’s too literally by going to spend time with his ’stripper girlfriend’..laugh out loud, Ando!
I didn’t learn too much from this episode during this re-watch, but it was great to watch it again nevertheless. One thing which delighted and bugged me was Nathan’s landing (observed by a delighted Hiro)..sure it was a cool scene(!), but surely the soles of his feet literally burn off, leaving him unable to walk for weeks on end?? Heck, he’s not Claire..no regeneration for this Petrelli! Ah well, perhaps i’m being too cynical?..but hey, I love this show and I want it to be as ‘tight’ as possible (plus I dislike Nathan ;)).
Speaking of things that I love..Greg Grundberg..how hard does this guy rock!? As a Big LOST fan it’s such a shame that he got killed so early in that show. Anyway, his portrayal in the convenience store was so on the money - it was great acting and such a well written piece. It really hit home that having his gift ain’t all that..plus it gives him headaches, poor man!
Other moments which I gained further appreciation for was HRG’s little Brody visit - HRG is a difficult man to predict at this stage..every time I think he’s gonna lose his cool, he acts so calm and collected - rather like his plea to Isaac in a few episodes time. But yeah, I have little time for Brody, but what Claire did was still wrong wrong WRONG.
Another great moment was Future-Hiro giving Peter the now overdone “Save the
cheerleader, save the world” message (Man am I sick of that line, lol) - which played seamlessly with the final scene where Peter tells present-day Hiro that he has a message for him - what a great piece of direction, bravo Kring and co!
So yeah, this was a fine episode..and from what I recall the show really gets started from episode 6 onwards..so let’s roll!
Next episode tomorrow,
Peace:)
