Down Week

Not much of a Heroes this week. Better than much of this season, but not the strongest follow-up to last weeks strong showing. The characters mostly sat around and sulked, trying to figure out what to do next.

We got to see the Petrelli clan--Peter, Angela, Nathan and Claire--who were mostly MIA last week. We also finally got the return of Sylar to the main plot. He's now working with Danko--you remember Danko, the guy who's only purpose since he began was not to compromise in any way in his fight against those with special powers. Oh well.

I think we've got to write off this season. The story simply isn't working, and with all the changes the characters have been through, it's hard to remember just what anyone is doing or why.

The show will be back. Maybe the break will allow the producers to come up with something better.
