Heroes - "Six Months Ago"

Spoilers!

This trip down memory lane was quite good, though it followed the usual pattern. Hiro's story was the most interesting, the Bennett family's tale a close second, and Niki/Jessica's tale probably the most hackneyed. Plus we get a great and distrubing origin for Sylar, and a much better sense of who Nathan is (though not why he decided to run for Congress). I do wonder why isaac wasn't included, though, when we had time even for Eden.

I am glad that we got all of this in one episode. I love the flashbacks on Lost, but this show isn't that one, and I'm glad it's establishing its own voice and style. I think we might get one or two more flashbacks, though, to fill in the blanks about Mohinder's sister and about Claire's mother.

But here's the big question: Sylar being a second generation watchmaker? With this story counting towards a Big Boom? Am I seeing Watchmen homages? If there's one comic thaat even non-fans are likely to have read, it's that one. But it wouldn't fit the style of the writers to do that. Still, it would be cool.
