HEROES REBORN
NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET
In tonight’s episode, one of the most popular characters and actors from the original Heroes shows up: the time-traveling Hiro Nakamura (played by Masi Oka), who may lure some of the show’s former fans who, like me, already have declared this reboot a subpar sequel. What Hiro does in this hour, I’m not sure – but what he should do is travel back in time to when the pilot for Heroes Reborn was being shot, and persuade them to rewrite it, and put him in the show from the start. Even time travelers can fall victim to the adage “Too little, too late.”
