It took me a while, but I am finally officially on the Heroes love train, and after yesterday's episode (1.17, "Company Man") I am dying to see where the series goes next. In retrospect, I am not sure what took me so long. Burned by Lost catching the stupid, perhaps.
But oh, wow, last night's episode was some great TV - not just because of investment in the characters after sixteen episodes, either. The structure and pacing of the episode was great, and unlike some other, similar TV series (LOST), they actually delivered the payoff they promised on several plot threads which have been building over the course of the season. Stuff happened, and some questions were answered while other questions were raised, the status quo for several characters was decidedly changed, and I can't wait to see what happens next. That's good TV, y'all.
So, I have a new fandom, and we all know what that means: tl;dr meta!
