It was a bit of an up and down week down at the ‘Bench. There were answers to a couple of the bigger questions the season has raised, but one of the answers was better than the other. The soul(s) of the week made for a good tale, while welcoming back an old friend, but […]
The tide continues to turn for Heroes, albeit slowly. This week, “Into Asylum” brought something of a mixed bag to the party.
