Heroes... and the Sun...

Okay, here's today's factoid: "The longest duration for a total solar eclipse is 7.5 minutes. "
This comes from www.space.com under Cool Eclipse Facts.

What does this have to do with anything you ask?

Well, the last two episodes of Heroes have surrounded the total eclipse of the sun, and its effects on the powers of our Heroes. And in the span of episodes that go on for two hours, what happens to each character can NOT have fit into the 7.5 minutes. NOT!

...spoiler alert...

Mohinder's trip just to go find Maya, not even including the conversations and ass kicking scenes probably would have taken longer than 7 minutes!

Claire - injury, ambulance, trip to hospital, stabilization, infection, then death... longer than 7 minutes.

Okay, they are using a little creative license, I'll give them that. Fine. But come on, did they really think none of the geeks who watch this show would notice?

...end spoilers...

Anyway, I will have to admit that I am liking the direction they are taking Hiro again, he's funnier, and I always like his adorable nature. They seem to be heading back in the right direction with some of the characters. But the overall story still seems to be going nowhere. The eclipse episodes still seem to have no real reason behind them other than as some kind of funky plot device. Oh, and the Daphne/Parkman relationship is so absurd I don't know what to say. Suddenly... Love. Ack...

Anyway, I will keep watching... like it or not.
