Heroes: Shades of Gray

I like it when shows don’t go where i expected. This episode of heroes wasn’t what I expected. From last weeks trailers I expected that Matt’s subplot would take far more of the episode.
Part of that was because I paid too much attention to the trailer at the end of last weeks episode and part of it was the message telling Hiro to save him. That was another of the expectations they broke which I found entertaining.
Then there was Clair and Doyle. I should have seen this part coming but I still assumed that she would help him immediately. This also seems to me to point to someone who can see the future sending the messages. Assuming that it’s not Matt, this leave Angela, someone we haven’t seen before or someone from the future.
I’m fond of the idea that it’s Angela, working with Micah and probably HRG and it appears we are likely to find out in two weeks in the next episode.
The bulk of the episode was, as the title implies, about Sylar. He found his father in this episode and this time I was a little closer on what i expected. I knew that his father was sick and leaving the man alive to punish him was pretty close, but where they really moved the character this episode was the idea that Sylar is hunting rabbits. Killing people who have no way to defend themselves.
This really does make sense, excluding the man with TK he kliled with a rock most of the people he has went after have had powers that were no threat to him. Many of the abilities such as superhearing, telling if people are lying, and healing are very useful but none of those people can really defend themselves and he hasn’t went after people like Peter, Hiro or Matt who could really defend themselves.
I also like the idea that this may change. I enjoyed seeing Sylar in the future as a father and as the president in different times and I would like to see either of them or even another interesting version of Sylar.

I liked this episode and am excited to see the next episode.
