Heroes, Series 3, Episode 20, 'Cold Snap'

** Warning, contains spoilers **

Ranging from implausible to downright confusing, this week's episode was a mess of disconnected and badly scripted scenes.

The bizarrely incongruous Dexter-style shaving scene with Mr. The Hunter at the top of the show led to an awkward scene with Noah and Angela in a taxi. From there it was all downhill.

Discovering that Micah was 'Rebel' was about the only thing that did make sense in this episode but, when cornered in an underground car park, I would hardly believe that the self-serving Tracy might surrender to save Micah, let alone sacrifice her own life in the process (or did she? *wink*).

The odd Gwen Stefani and Paris dream-scenes were a poor way to send off Daphne. Inconsistent budget allocation left Parkman flying in an 80's pop video whilst Tracy exploded into a billion reflective CG ice shards.

To say this was an off day for Tim Kring would be an understatement. The script was clumsy and spattered with cheap 70's Bond style cliche. I could picture Roger Moore delivering the 'cold snap' line and was surprised there wasn't mention of 'frozen assets' or 'chilling out' or 'a frosty reception' or... I could go on.

It's difficult to fathom where Heroes is going at the moment. Viewing figures are in decline and I don't think this episode will help.
