This is an absolutely beautiful episode based around the idea that Hiro goes back into the past six months instead of one day. As Hiro tries to save Charlies life we get various snipets of what other characters were up to at the time and how some of them came to be in the situation we found them in six months time. This is Zachery Quintos as we see the origins of Syler and the hand Chandra Suresh has in setting him on his path albeit inadvertently.
This episode would go on to create a trope in Superhero shows where we would get an episode set earlier in the season from a characters point of view. Its easy to forget how influential this show is. On top of that this is perhaps the best directed episode thus far - even Nathans flight is handled well! This is both a technical and narrative home run. It gets a 10/10 from me.
