After a Christmas break its back to season one of Heroes picking up exactly where we left off as Matt Parkman and Ted Sprague break into the Bennet household in search of answers. We see the scene we ended on last time from the opposing characters point of view. From this point onwards we get a tight intricate character study of Noah Bennet. Its astounding that I have no memory of this episode as its quite simply one of the best. Also I'm wandering into "bad fan" territory as I'd forgotten that Eric Roberts made an appearance - sharing two scenes with Christopher Eccleston giving us a mini Doctor Who and the Master confrontation.
The meat and bones of this story is the writing team singling out one character and doing a deep dive on them. In this case its Noah Bennet, we are told his back story in flashbacks and the episode sends him on a journey with a hart breaking ending. Even before the end of this episode I was looking at Noah differently and considering he's a major player on the show the ending has far reaching consequences for everyone. Everyone involved in this episode is on their A game and I hope somebody won something from this episode be it director or cast. 10/10 and without doubt this was a classic.
