Heroes: "The Hard Part"

[stevekenson]

Another good episode leading up to the season finale. I like the fact that I genuinely don't know how it's all going to end: they really could blow up half of New York City and then deal with the aftermath in the coming season(s), at least, it feels like they could, which is a good thing. The episode also did a good job of humanizing Syler and the scenes with his mother were chilling, especially the foreshadowing ("You could even be President..." etc. What parent hasn't held onto that dream for their kid?). Hiro continues to be my favorite character, appealing to the geek wannabe superhero in all of us. The "He forgot [killing] should be hard" line about Future-Hiro was great. Looking forward to the big finale, although not to the likely cliffhanger and waiting for the next season.
