Heroes, Series 3, Episode 19, 'Shades of Gray'

** WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS **

Remember when the bad-ass Hiro Nakamura froze time on the subway? Or the epic fireball fight between shape-shifting Sylar and battle-scarred Peter towards the end of volume one? Just as we watched Jar-Jar turn our memories against us, we continue to watch, hoping that the Heroes we remember will return and blow our socks off.
Sadly, there's no indication of such an event this week. The continuing non-adventures of Claire 'Bear' Bennet pad out an anticlimactic episode where Sylar finally meets his father and lets out a longwinded 'meh' before moving on.
Despite a sound verbal butt-kicking from Angela, arguably the high spot of the show, Mr. The Hunter wins his battle with Nathan after the flyin' man let himself be pushed out of a hi-rise window.
Even more ridiculous than that was the excruciating tacked-on scene where Hiro 'No-Powers' Nakamura is mistaken for a baby sitter. Presumably the message from Rebel instructing them to 'Save Matt Parkman' prompted the hapless duo to work their way through the phone book rather than do anything that made any sense.

**Correction: There was an address on Rebel's fax. I'm sticking with 'hapless' though, sorry.**

We can only hope that things start coming together again in 'Cold case', airing March 23rd.
