Heroes 17: Company Man = OMG!

Best. Episode. Ever.
Episode 17 of Heroes, entitled Company Man, has just blown my mind. If anyone has any doubts as to whether or not you should start watching, Company Man just shattered those doubts into a million pieces.
There is so much information in Company Man that I have to watch it again. “Wow” is so completely inadequate to describe it. How good was it?
Well, at the end of Unexpected Visitors (the previous episode) I was rooting for Matt Parker and the radioactive man. Finally, HRG (Mr. Bennet) was going to get his due. Or so I thought.
By the time the final scene in Company Man played, I was near tears at HRG’s plight.
You know those times when you think a friend has let you completely down and you demonize him or her? What an asshole, you think. I don’t need friends like this. You fume and rage at the betrayal, righteous anger pouring forth in a Vesuvian torrent.
And then someone tells you that the reason you got shafted was because her sister died, or his mom got cancer, and your whole perspective flips around. Your friend deserves an apology. She deserves a hug. He deserves a drink.
And HRG deserves better.
That’s how good Company Man was.

Well I thought Wifi Girl from last episode was quite cool.
I thought the HRG ‘I’m your daddy’ thing was a little too contrived for my liking though.
