Claire talking her mother into shooting her was great. The forced game of Russian roulette added some serious tension to the episode. Lawrence was extremely enjoyable as the repulsively creepy Eric Doyle. This week, Claire tried to free her, only to get herself and both her moms caught. Last week, we saw that Meredith was in the clutches of the Puppet Master. The other great storyline in "Dying of the Light" was Claire going after her birth mother. Again, you could quibble about Hiro so easily dismissing (twice now) his rule to never go back in time, but it worked for this episode.ĭavid Anders as Adam Monroe, Robert Forster as Arthur Petrelli (Click on the pic to see more images from the episode) Especially entertaining was seeing Hiro trying to outsmart the African painter only to realize that jumping through time wasn't going to fix anything. Because of that, the time traveling can get pretty frustrating, except in these smartly done small doses. In the grander scheme, the time travel rules in Heroes are a messy hodgepodge of ideas with nothing really set in stone. Also, the time travel in this episode actually worked well, and really, that's saying something. Thankfully, the execution of everything else made me care less about those minor details. Sure, this is where you could complain about the fact that Hiro vowed never to jump back in time, and he did, or that Daphne couldn't be frozen by Hiro in the first episode of the season, but here she was. The trick was simple - fake sword and blood packet - but the use of time travel and Ando's sudden realization he had to play along made it worthwhile. Like most of us, I figured there'd be a twist I just wasn't expecting one so pleasantly satisfying. As you know from last week's review, I was very put off by Hiro so quickly and easily stabbing Ando in the heart. This episode had many highlights, and it all started with the reveal of how Hiro pulled off killing Ando.
