What a father would do for his daughter

Warning: Spoiler ahead

Tonight's episode of Heroes is amazing. Starting from the very begining when the Fragile sticker was put on the moving boxes, symbolizing how fragile this family's life has become, I already knew it was going to be a good show. This episode was filled with symbolism. When HRG said "you have no idea what a father would do for his daughter." Was he referring to himself? Or Bob? Or more probably, both? And when Sandra Bennet talked about her daughter's choice of boyfriend, it was really talking about a father who can fly as well as a father who would do anything to protect her. And when Kaito called out for Hiro at the funeral, was it just for the younger Hiro? Or was it a father's call for his child to take his place on this earth?


I was initially bothered by Hiro's untimely return. He could have returned anytime he had wanted, even before his father's death. Time travel in a story is problematic because it means the character can always go back and fix things. So tonight just goes to show how skillful these writers are when they solve the problem of Kaito's death. It was convincing and not easy, quite amazing.

I had never believed HRG would be really shot. So I thought the ending was a real surprise. But then just when you are stunned by his death, there comes another twist. that was so cool too.

The preview showed Hiro pressing his katana against Peter's throat. Is Hiro trying to avenge his father's death while Peter tries to protect Adam? Two heroes with great powers, each with his own agenda, this is exactly what makes the show so good, there is no black and white, clear cut right or wrong, Parkman would face off Suresh at Kirby plaza for Molly, Suresh would shoot HRG for Elle, all characters caught up in this complex web of life paths called destiny. I am so pumped up and excited and looking forward to the next episode.
