Save the cheerleader...
Well, if you've been watching Heroes at all, you know the rest.
Last night was the big "Save the cheerleader" episode, and for the most part it didn't disappoint. Hiro may have been conspicuously absent, but as promised, some of the heroes finally started to meet up - Peter headed to Texas to save Claire, although both he and Sylar mistook another cheerleader for her first, and it looks like he succeeded - even if he did get arrested in the process. We also finally got a glimpse of Sylar's face, and since Eden used her apparently very strong telepathy to capture him at the end, it looks like we may get to see more of him soon.
Peter was especially fantastic in this episode, going to Texas even though he knew from Isaac's painting it would lead to his death, and facing Sylar pretty fearlessly. And was I the only one who thought Claire and Peter had some great chemistry? I know that's kind of, well, illegal... so maybe we'll just call it friend chemistry.
Over on Prison Break, Sara kicked all kinds of ass, worming her way out of drowning, burning Kellerman in the chest with an iron, jumping out of a window and sewing up her own wounds. It's nice to see a smart, tough girl on this show, which is usually so male-centric (not that I normally mind...).
The really big stuff came at the end, though, as Michael's call to Sara was intercepted by Mahone and a gun, and Sucre's plane to Mexico seemed to be about to run into trouble. This show just leaves me hanging every week - I don't know how I'm going to bear the hiatus.
