"Welcome home, Boss."
The best thing about last night? A shoutout to the oh-so-awesome Alamo Drafthouse on Heroes. As an Austinite, that totally made the episode for me.
Not to say that the episode wasn't good - because it was. We got some backstory on several of the heroes, including getting to see how Claire became a cheerleader, Eden's bad-girl past, and the wreck that put Nathan in a wheelchair. We also finally got a good look at the formerly nerdy Sylar, former watch-fixer turned brain-stealing villian. Unfortunately, we also found out that Hiro wasn't able to save Charlie. And even if he had been able to, she probably would have been dead soon anyway from a blood clot in her brain. Which is supersad, because she was pretty cool, and had one of the neatest powers so far.
Prison Break also had a fabulous episode, sending themselves into hiatus with a (literal) bang. Just when it looked like Michael and Linc might be completely screwed, Kellerman turned on the conspiracy, shot Mahone and declared his intentions to take down the president. Now that's just cool.
In the other two million plots interweaving on this show, T-Bag killed a few more people to get to his ultimate target - the woman who turned him down by turning him in - and Bellick ended up back in Fox River, hilariously rooming with Avocado, who fans of the first season will remember as Tweener's creepy roommate. That's called karma, Brad. (Honestly I'm having a little trouble believing this plotline, what with the lack of forensic evidence and the fact that Bellick was pretty obviously in the hospital when Geary was killed, but... whatever. It's kinda fun.)
Tonight - the first mystery finale of Veronica Mars! I'm way too excited.
