Episode Report Card Erin: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Heroes Here, Heroes There, Heroes Everywhere!
By Erin | Season 1 | Episode 4 | Aired on 10.15.2006
The phone rings and the coroner goes to get it. While she's gone, Claire comes back to life. She looks around and sees herself flayed open and, instead of the "Holy sh--" we heard at the end of the last episode, Claire just goes, "Oh my God!" I hate continuity mishaps like that. She didn't say "Oh my God" at the end of the last episode, did she? DID SHE? Angel of Continuity? I AM TALKING TO YOU. Wouldn't it have been much better if Claire had said, "Holy sh--" and we'd cut to the coroner on the phone? Angel? Are you hearing me? Oh, for fuck's sake. Take the earbuds out of your ears and have an espresso or something; you're really pissing me off.
So, whatever, Claire realizes what's happened and she quickly pulls her flayed skin over her internal organs and it immediately knits together seamlessly. She jumps off the table, grabs a lab coat from a hook, and hides behind the door when the coroner enters the room. She escapes through the door just as the coroner realizes her dead body has disappeared. The door slams shut behind her, which is either magic or a really big draft.
It's time for the Heroes On A Planet Filled With Eclipse title appearance. There's no credit sequence or music to go with it, so I can't even DANCE, people. There is no DANCING. I am so sad. But it's also kind of appropriate, so I'm oddly okay with it. Also? I really want to see that new Will Ferrell movie; not because of Will Ferrell (although, I do love him so), but because of Emma Thompson, who I think would be an awesome chick to hang out with at a bar while playing pool. She and Janeane Garafalo. And possibly Jamie Pressly. God, we'd be so drunk. It wouldn't be pretty. But boy, would it be FUN.
After commercials, we catch up with Isaac, who's sitting in his window listening to "Eyes" by Rogue Wave again, just like in the pilot. Way to revisit the music bank, music director. Isaac looks down at his sketchbook and sees the picture he drew of Simone and Peter beneath the umbrella in the rain. Yet another flash of bright light and we're with Simone and Peter in bed as he pulls the sheet over her naked shoulder. Woo! Peter got some! We then switch to Hiro and Ando, facing the gambling dens of Vegas. Hiro turns to Ando to maybe convince him not to do this, but Ando just dives right in. Another flash of light and we're at Casa de Claire as her brother comes down the stairs. Her mother calls out that she's making waffles. The brother and mother head to the kitchen as Claire enters the house dressed only in the lab coat. How the hell did she get home dressed like that? Clearly, I need to drink more.
