The "Heroes" come together

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t last night’s “Heroes” the first to feature all our heroes in one episode?

As promised, a character did die, but it wasn’t one of the main heroes. It was Eden, who killed herself to prevent Sylar from stealing her powers - and who I mistakenly thought was a big baddie a few weeks ago. Whoops.

The other big development: Peter’s vision of being a human bomb. Now that he’s saved the cheerleader (will they ever explain how by doing that he saved the world?), it looks like the focus will be on getting Peter to not blow up New York City.

And the wildest development: the painting of Hiro battling a dinosaur, which presumably is predicting the future. Well, his future, which may find him in the distant past. Confused yet? All I know is the next new episode isn't until Jan. 22, and that's too long to wait.
