Just getting on here super-quick because, for me, this was one of the best episodes of the entire series so far - for obvious reasons (Kristen is haaaaaht!) - and for the overall quality of actual character movement and story, for everyone involved. This one easily sits up there with my previous favorite of the series, "Company Man" from season one.

And really, for me to get online right after the episode ends is kind of a big deal, because this show runs so hot and cold with me.  _cinjudes_and schrutefanknow that I've continually questioned the 'potential versus execution' with this show, and tonight was one of those episodes that actually came through on the promise of thrilling storytelling the show can manage.  It's the woeful consistency that always makes me question why it's such a cult favorite. I don't xpect much anymore in the way of great development, dialogue, and continuity (like I do with Lost), so I  guess when Heroes manages to once in a while exceed those lowered expectations by leaps and bounds, it really stands out. This is short, but I'll stil cut it to avoid being spoilery.


All in all, good stuff.  And kudos to the wardrobe/costume department responsible for Elle's outfits.  Not too trashy, but revealing and *ahem* supportive in all the right places.  Brav-fucking-O!





Kristen Bell is awesome.
