After all of the excitement we had last week on Heroes, I knew it would be fun to be able to step back, take a few deep breaths and relax during this week's episode. That's not to say that this week's episode was boring, because it was still packed with a lot of great information, but it dead allow us to soak in everything that has happened so far this year. It also served to answer a number of questions that we've been cooking up since the show started, and in true Heroes fashion, managed to come up with even more parts of the mystery for us to dive into.

As many of you may have noticed, there was no narrator this week! YES! I am VERY excited. I knew that if I wrote my letter to Santa Claus, that I would get what I wished. It looks like I have been a really good boy this year, and I sure hope it means that I'll be getting the top two things that I wished for as well. Death to the Heroes narrator was actually third on the list right after "marriage, ten kids, and happily ever after with Tyra Banks" and "bring back Jell-O pudding pops AND those Bill Cosby commercials". And yes, I mean the real pudding pops and not the cheap third-party sell out your brand name knockoffs we currently live with. The narrator may come back next week, but until then I will congratulate all of us who hated the narrator and wanted to see him go.

With the absence of the narrator, Mohinder was free to talk as much as he wanted to, and so he dropped a little bit more knowledge on us:

To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose. The earth spins at a thousand miles and hour as we desperately try to keep from being thrown off, like the first blush of winter that signals a great migration. Is there any warning of their arrival? A sign? A single event that sent that change in motion? Was it a whisper in god's ear? Survive. Adapt. Escape. And if we could mark that single moment in time, that first hint of the prophecy of approaching danger, would we have done anything differently. Could it have been stopped? Or was the die long ago cast. and if we could go back, alter it's course, stop it from happening, could we?

Did you get all of that? At this point in time, Mohinder's words to live by are almost comical. Even Oprah would say this guy talks too much.

Anyway, we had a little bit of a review of things that had happened up until this point, and then we started getting into a few of the newer. OK, so technically, nothing was "new" because the episode was entitled "Six Months Ago", but I think you get what we mean.

First, we got a look at Hiro. He jumped back in time in order to save the waitress Charlie's life, but he is new at this Hero business and is still working the kinks out when it comes to telling people about stuff that is going to be happening in the future. Charlie is just about to celebrate her birthday when Hiro pops in and says "My name is Hiro Nakamura. I am here to save your life!". Charlie doesn't know what to say, looks at him, and then goes back to blowing out her candles. I know Hiro becomes a bad ass at some point, but we still love him when he was simple and sweet, even if he wasn't very smooth.
