Aside from him and the other potential circus folk, Claire's going to college and she and her roommate will experiment a little with their tongues. Is this show desperate for ratings, or what? They even had Hayden out on the red carpet at the Emmys talking about kissing a girl, just to get people interested in the show again. It will take a lot more than T-Bag and some girl-on-girl action to keep me entertained this season, so I'm hoping that they've got a few tricks up their sleeves and bring back the fun, goofy action show I used to know and enjoy. But it will probably be all Sylar, Nathan and Peter all the time.

If you've long since given up any hope of this show actually returning to its original enjoyable state, House tonight is phenomenal. A real departure episode that takes place in an insane asylum without any annoying interruptions from Thirteen. You'd probably be better off watching that instead.

Heroes airs at 9 PM on NBC and House airs at 9 PM on Fox. Also, our week in preview has other options.
