I know! I can barely believe it either. I and the other Topless Roboteers who participate in the Heroes Live-blog were certainly hoping for improvement, seeing as last week was the first episode back for one Bryan Fuller, but we were well aware that had effectively been handed a shit-sandwich of a series, and had only one episode to work his magic on. So how good could it be?
As it turns out, quite a bit. Characters made intelligent choices that were not completely out of character. Dialogue expressed feelings and plot developments without sound like it was written by a drunken 3rd-grade English class. Powers were used in ways that made sense, and actually resulted in the coolest special effect scene I've ever seen on the show. Frankly, it was amazing to see how much and immediately improved Heroes became last week. Even if tonight is a bit of a let-down, Fuller's miracle episode has me hooked for at least the rest of the season.
So come by tonight for the next Heroes live-blog; if you've been keeping away from Heroes out of fear that it was so terrible you're tear off your own head in self-defense (not a bad call), com by anyways and we'll be happy to catch you up. See you at 8:45 pm EST, folks -- with fingers crossed that someone else bites the dust tonight.
