Hiro Lost in Time

The adventures of Hiro Lost in Time would definitely make for a great spinoff series of NBC's Heroes. Seeing Hiro's mishaps and quests in ancient Rome, the Middle Ages, battling real dinosaurs, or even exploring other planets in the future would all be captivating. For now, Hiro is stuck 16 years ago, back when he was just a young boy who cared more about his Gameboy than saving the world. He was able to convince his mother to give the catalyst to him rather than Claire bear, but all of a sudden, Arthur Petrelli was there and snatched everything away. So that now makes 2 of our heroes powerless, Peter and Hiro.

The current plan is for Ando to try to get the ability to time travel, then go back and save his friend. Is it that easy to decide who gets what ability? As we saw with Scott the Marine in present day, he received super-strength, but who knows what else. He may also have received an over-agressive mindstate to accompany that. The other question is, will Hiro and Peter want to have powers again? Or will they be content as normal human beings amongst their fellow heroes? Angela Petrelli was able to help Peter regain his memory, will she have the ability to restore powers? Or will it take another eclipse to restore their powers? If so they could have a long wait..

Some other quirks about the last episode. Sylar told Peter not to worry, he wouldn't kill him because he didn't have anything he wanted. True, but what about the Haitian? Is there any reason Sylar wouldn't want the ability to block others' powers? Does Sylar know something about the Haitian we don't? For example that Haitian's power would limit Sylar's other abilities? Or was Sylar just ignorant to the fact that the Haitian has a power? Another thing about this season that just seems odd is Arthur Petrelli just showing up places all of a sudden. Yes, he's the super-villain but he just seems out of place when that happens. Robert Forester was great in Tarentino's Jackie Brown but his work as a villain seems strange at times. We may not have to worry about that, because as of right now Arthur's out of commission.
