Heroes review. Episode 306 "Dying of the Light"

In the sixth episode, Heroes Season Three slowly, finally comes into focus. It's all about the villain, Arthur Petrelli, back from the grave. Not that there are enough other bad guys to spread around. The creepiest is the puppetmaster, Eric Doyle, one of the escapees from Level 5. He's found his love, Claire's mother Meredith and going all psychopath on her and the rest of the family. Meanwhile, Dr. Suresh's little lair is growing more crowded with... prisoners? snacks?

But the lines are getting clearer between heroes and villains, with Season One's bad guy Sylar clearly, even believably on the side of the good guys. Hiro and his nemesis are both slowly finding their way. And Parkman is back in the States anchoring regular ol' goodness and light.

The future is still bleak, as painted by Usutu the precog and visited by Peter and Hiro. And there's a lot of domesticating to be done in the next five years. But the most heroic feat this week was finally making me care what happens next.
