TV Review: Heroes - "The Kindness of Strangers"

Written by K. L. Connie Wang

Noah is worried about the eighth painting which shows him dead/injured and Claire with another off in the background. He questions Claire to see if she’s dating and she lies to him and tells him she’s not.

Over in NYC, Molly wakes up screaming from her nightmare. Slimmer now that he’s on Weight Watchers, Matt gets to her first and holds her tight. Mo enters a few seconds behind him. Our two dads argue a little about what to do. Matt can’t get into her mind. While he’s off to get her a glass of water, Mo sings her some Indian lullaby. I've got an idea boys – why don’t you paint her room a bright pink, like most little girls like? That room is so dark and scary, it’s no wonder she has nightmares. A few little My Little Pony stickers and Strawberry Shortcake dolls and problem solved!

Nathan goes to see his kids at school – even though he’s not supposed to. His kids don’t like his beard. Me neither. Good! he says, “Off it goes!” He tells the kids that grandma is sick and in the hospital and to have their mother help them call her when they get home. Saddened that he can’t hug or kiss them, he walks away.

Derek and the Wonder Twins are making their way to the border when Derek slams on the brakes. There’s a body in the road. They get out and flip him over. It’s Sylar – and he seems to have found a change of clothes before he hiked it out of the jungle. Dude, black absorbs heat – maybe you should have stuck with the light-colored linen number you were wearing before...

Over in New Orleans, Micah is rudely awakened by a glass of water splashed in his face. Nice cousin he’s got there. They look to be about the same age and the cousin isn’t too happy he’s there. Uhura is cutting up veggies and watching a non-descript cooking show on TV. His older cousin, Monica, is ready for another big day at Burger Bonanza – giddy-up! The younger cousin wants $65 to watch some pay-per-view wrestling match on TV, to which both Grandma Uhura and Monica give a resounding "no." Eager to win his cousin’s trust and friendship, Micah offers up a way to get to see the match for free. As Monica leaves, she sees the show Uhura is watching – the chef is making rosettes out of tomato skins. She grabs her toast and leaves. Today’s the big day where she’ll find out if she made the management program at BB.

I thought they outdid themselves this week in their camera work. There's a shot of Derek walking away from Sylar, where they used a back-of-the-head cam, and you know what's going to happen. They also had a great shot over Bennet's shoulder of Claire and West flying.

It wasn't the best episode, but they're advancing things the way they did last year. The Parkman revelation - I guess the two revelations - were interesting. There still are a few unexplained loose ends from last year.
