Episode 3 of Heroes: +1
Hiro didn’t do much this episode, but what he did wasn’t too bad.
Breakdown of Hiro Meter
1. Bucket List: +1… Putting right what once went wrong makes me think of Quantum Leap, and thinking of Quantum Leap makes me happy. Definitely a plus one.
2. Scared of Heights: -1… Now there’s nothing wrong with being scared of heights, it’s just an example of how whenever Hiro does something brave, the show makes him do something cowardly to cancel it out. Plus, he’s dangled off a building before and survived, and he somehow got back his mastery of space and time, so what’s there to be afraid of?
3. Fool’s Errand: -1… It takes him over 40 trips to save this guy. And each time travel all he can think to do is break the Xerox machine. Just a punchline for no real purpose.
4. Speaks to his Sister: +2… Without giving anything away, Hiro has to do something hard and he does it without any problems, without any sight gags, or slipping on a banana peel. In other words, he had a serious moment and was a better man for it.
