Hero Love

The episode of Heroes that I watched mainly revolved around the character Hiro. He is the character that is able to control the time space continuum. Be able to do allows him to stop time, go back in time, and travel to the future. Quite handy when you want things to work out in your favor.

Anyways, the episode starts off with Hiro in a diner known as The Burnt Toast. He accidentally (he still doesn't have full control of his power) traveled back in time 6 months. The cause for all of this is because he has fallen in love with a waitress, Sandy. If you watch the episode right before this one you'll learn that Sandy gets her head cut in two (gross, I know) by the mysterious killer, Sylar. Hiro traveled back in time to warn her and save her as well.

As the plot progresses, Hiro and Sandy start falling for each other. Sandy then tells Hiro she has terminal cancer is going to die in six months, but also that she is in love with him. Hiro returns her love and just as they are about to kiss, he is returned back to the future and the diner.

This episode made me think that what is it about love that makes people take the actions that they do. And how can you describe love? I mean just because Hiro held Sandy's hand and looked into her eyes and said he loved her, does that make it love?

Something to think about for a rainy day.
