Save the cheerleader, save the world

Well, we got to learn a bit about Claire’s dad, the mysterious Mr. Horn-Rimmed Glasses, on last night’s “Heroes.” If we can believe him, he’s not a bad guy and is looking after our heroes in a way. Certainly he seems to be a loving dad, doing all he can to save his daughter the cheerleader. And as we’ve been told repeatedly, “Save the cheerleader, save the world.”

Meanwhile, Hiro had a sweet but incredibly short-lived stab at a romance - although with his time-traveling powers, we may not have seen the last of the cute, little Texas waitress who was killed off in the episode.

Next week’s episode looks to be a must-see, with a lot of the threads coming together.
