I Liked Heroes

sdelmonteI don't have time to post a long review, and I think that if I do, it will all come apart. But since I go out of my way to criticize Heroes, it's only fair that I say when I like it.
No, it wasn't perfect, but the two main stories of the night worked for me. The acting - especially that of Jack Coleman - was great. Heck, we finally got to see Kristen Bell acting again and not just vamping (and lord, I've missed that). The pacing was actually good. And while I don't know if I like the ending, what led up to it actually really got me interested.
And for once, I liked the script. HRG was very well written, as was Matt (who got off a great zinger at the expense of the FBI). And the scenes with Hiro...I missed him in our time more than I thought.
Is the show cured of its ills. Nope. I think that the Big Story is still a mess. But after the day I had, I was ready for another night of nitpicking and I got something I liked. I am not unhappy.
