New episodes of the Big Bang Theory and Heroes were on last night.

In the Big Bang Theory, Penny gets hooked on a massively multi-player online roleplaying game called Age of Conan. The show poked some fun at people who experience such an addiction. Overall the episode was pretty funny.

In Heroes, a good portion of the show focused on Peter traveling to a possible future where characters' allegiances have shifted. The big surprise was that Sylar was a good guy living a normal suburban life with a young son.

We got a glimpse of Mohinder's fate due to his experiment with giving himself powers. I thought his "mutant" appearance was kind of cheesily done. Mostly they just covered him up and kept him in the shadows. The plot with mohinder made it seem like they were developing him as a Beast or Nightcrawler type mutant - someone who wears their powers out in the open for everyone to see, whether he likes it or not.

Hiro and Ando's antics were a nice comical diversion, including when they went to get the "key" at the end. I'm not sure where they're going with Matt's sudden new abilities, but it might be interresting. I thought it was odd that Molly looks exactly the same four years in the future. I would think a kid her age would have changed quite a bit in four years, but I guess they couldn't really help it unless they got a different actress.

When Nathan asked Linderman if he was appearing to him through telepathy, Linderman responded that it wasn't anything so obvious. It makes me wonder what the real explaination will be.
