Heroes Continues

NBC’s hit show Heroes is back and the writing is as good as ever.  I love what this show is doing, and I’m really beginning to like the direction it seems to be heading in.  It’s taken 12 episodes, but as Suresh’s closing voiceover states, the chaos of the various story arcs are beginning to approach something like order, as each character explores their abilities and forge new alliances.
