Heroes: Nothing to Hide
I realize that sometimes it take an episode or two just to fill in the gaps, like some of the flashback episodes in Lost, but watching those episodes can be a drag when you were looking forward to something more than filler. Nothing to Hide was one of those episodes. It could just have well have been titled, Nothing to Add...
What did we learn? Claire's brother is a jerk. DL isn't really a bad guy. Mica knows how to use his powers better than anyone else in the program. Nikki's evil twin is named Jessica. We can continue to expect unbelievable coincidences (like DL and Hiro coming upon the same fiery wreck in the middle of the desert at the same time). Nathan Petrelli was driving in the accident that left his wife paralyzed. Peter is smarter than he looks, the cop's powers are clearly still spotty. FBI chick is a little too Clint Eastwood for her own good. Short exposure to 1,800 carries of radiation apparently won't harm you if you take the special pill. That Nathan Petrelli has a tick when he lies. We found a guy that could cause a nuclear explosion with his powers just like the one that Hiro and Isaac saw in the future. The FBI has a special holding tank designed to hold radioactive guys, that radioactive guy and police telepath have matching symbols on their shoulders. Nathan Petrelli lied to his brother about getting the missing painting. And that Mica can tell the difference between Nikki and Jessica. The episode was so lame that even HRG skipped it.
Who knows what segments of this new knowledge will become important over time. But at least we got it over with. Hopefully, we can get back to something cool....

Here here Big T - I agree 100%. The show has veered away from its original theme and now is busy back filling the story line. See what happens when the show gets extended for the entire season? They writers and producers probably went holy shit, we now have to write 20 more episodes!
