TV: Heroes

DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN TONIGHT'S EPISODE



Wasn't tonight's episode badass!?

The cliffhanger ending was awesome. It's about time that the writers figured out that the best part about comic book/superhero confrontations is when one dude's powers go directly against another's in a head-to-head battle. I mean, would Mortal Kombat even be fun if you were Subzero and you froze some regular asshole just walking down the street?

And the fact that Hiro goes after Peter with the sword and you, as the viewer, are sure Hiro's about to die...until they zoom in on that ubiquitous Japanese "Heroes" symbol. Awesome.

The season finale is Monday, December 3rd at 8pm CST.
