(S01E05) For weeks it seems the voice-over that accompanies the previews for upcoming episodes of Heroes has promised "the heroes will have to work together" or something similar. This week Peter actually does get the call to "save the cheerleader, save the world." And, even if the heroes don't make a whole lot of progress in that direction, they are starting crossing paths more. When it doesn't take itself too seriously -- which, most of the time, it doesn't -- then Heroes is a lot of fun.

Most of the fun, this week is had in Vegas. We get plenty of confirmation about what kind of congressman Nathan Petrelli would be, starting when he tells Horn-Rim Glasses Guy (who either teleports, or is racking up some major frequent flier miles) that "when I find you I will kill you." No. Nathan's not exactly a work-within-the-system guy.
