A deadly clash on "Heroes"

The highlight of last night’s “Heroes,” for me, anyway, was the showdown between Jessica, in assassin mode, and officer Matt Parkman, whose job as a bodyguard did NOT end well.

Meanwhile, scientist Mohinder better watch his back, now that he’s apparently becoming an unwitting ally of the villainous Sylar. Some chilling stuff there.

But the Hiro scenes, again, seemed a waste of time. I agree with concerns that Hiro, formerly my favorite character, is becoming a caricature of himself - too cute and too silly.
