OCD, "Heroes"-style

"Heroes" is turning out to be just too much fun. It gets better with each episode, as each superhero discovers and learns to use his or her power. Slowly, the show’s mantra, "Save the Cheerleader ... Save the World," is starting to make sense. I loved the scene on the subway when Hiro from the future appeared, all Americanized (with soul patch!), and gave Peter Petrelli a bit of advice.

But here’s the thing. I know this is sci-fi, and there are going to be leaps, and preposterousness is the name of the game, but I still haven’t been able to get past one glitch. First of all, cheerleader Claire was autopsied before she was identified? Then she got up and walked out during her autopsy and no one in her small Texas town – say, the guy doing the autopsy – has made a big deal of it?

OK, I know, just let go…
