Heroes - "Five Years Gone"

BEST. EPISODE. EVER.

Unbelievable! This episode absolutely gave me goosebumps. Again with the amazing twists and turns, another mind-blowing surprise reveal, and an added emotional slam of post-9/11 relevance. If the future is going to be changed anyway, it was hard to see how they were going to make this one suspenseful, but they pulled it off. Even the future is not what it seems.

Everyone was great, playing versions of themselves pushed past the limit. and the Matrix-y ending with Peter as Neo was pure geek heaven.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a finer hour of sci-fi TV since Buffy ended.
