Heroes goes full X-Men this week as the show pulls a "Days of Future Past" by sending Hiro and Ando to the future showing us the aftereffects of the explosion which we've been building to all season. As astounding episode in which the fates of main characters are seen or referred to, some fates are most unexpected than others and we get a good swerve dealt by a certain villain.
No character has had much of a fun time in the preceding five years and we're given some surprising status quos. I'm good with the characters killed off before we arrive in the future as they garner sympathy such as Micah or are not very well acted characters such as D.L. There is a little bit of misogyny on show as in the future the female characters are only good for stripping and waitressing where the male characters have all the good fates or don't appear.
We go into the next episode with many questions, can Niki's family and Ando be saved, can they stop the explosion, what is radioactive Theodores fate to name but three. A strength in this episode is that it isn't afraid to pave way for future episodes as its clear we are heading into the final act of the season. Its an impressive 9/10 for this episode and it could easily have been full marks.
