Review: Heroes 3×03, “One of Us, One of Them”

Since I’m sticking with reviews that are low in spoiler content, I don’t have a whole lot to say about this episode except in the most general of terms. For a review rich in spoilers, you can check out the one posted over at tor.com.

The story arc of this chapter is slowly becoming clearer. It would appear that once again the future has been thrown into chaos, this time because someone has concocted a formula capable of giving abilities to common folk. Meanwhile, the escaped super-villains from the super-secure Level 5 facility continue to wreak havoc.

This episode derives its name from the fact that the mysterious hero-tracking “Company” hires its agents in pairs, one with special abilities and one without. The particular pairing of partners in this episode took me completely by surprise. Two enemies team up for a common cause. A couple of old favorite characters return, namely the memory-blotting Haitian and the Computer Whsiperer Micah. The latter, I think, will make few if any further appearances, but the former seems integral to this season’s plot.

Starting next week, the TV reviews will contain spoilers. Be assured that I’ll give you plenty of warning beforehand so the show won’t be inadvertently ruined for you.
