This week’s episode sets some history before us in black and white, in the mad year of 1961.

So, um, why are they digging up bodies?
“I need to bury my sister! So dig her up for me, so I can do that. Meanwhile, I’m going to go over here and do something important, like nap.”
I really liked how they worked in the bit about Angela stealing socks as a way to comfort herself. It tied her character back to the first moment we saw Angela in the very first episode, where Angela gets taken in for shoplifting socks. I don’t know whether that’s what they had in mind with that plot point from the very start, but it was a satisfying callback.
I agree; it was a nice pay off moment. Also liked the glimpse into what helped shape Angela and the company into the “we’re ruthless for a grand purpose” mindset. But…
There are only two episodes left in the season and presumably the “Fugitives” volume. Other than Sylar impersonating Nathan on TV at the end, this was a mostly disposable episode (unless they pay off on it spectacularly down the line); was hoping for something more substantial, something to build the tension and excitement. The last two eps are really going to have to be amazing; no more closing the volume with a whimper, please Heroes!
