Last night, there were so many surprises and twists, that it was really a great mystery! I thought for sure that it would turn out to be the Lieutenant who had him framed and the partner who was trying to help, but it ended up being the Lieutenant who helped Johnny and the partner who set him up!

The explosion was really cool, especially the way Johnny found out about it, following the <a href='http://consumeralertsystem.com/cas/zx-hclick.php?hid=359' target='_blank'>gas</a> pipes through the stove and walls.

This episode was really good and I got really moved at the end when Thaddeus looked up. Good story, great performances, and of course, Johnny figured it out by outsmarting the bad guy again!

Next week is about <a href='http://consumeralertsystem.com/cas/zx-hclick.php?hid=268' target='_blank'>music</a>, so I know I'll enjoy it!

Yep it was I liked it. It was done well. I like how he helped an autictic child to clear his father of murder.

Usually I can kind of guess who is responsible for what, but this one had me guessing right up until the end!

I thought it was an outstanding episode! Great mystery, creative writing (the drawings), and great insight into Autisim!!!

I was browsing the script of H&D and noticed that they put some humor in for Thaddeus through his storyteller. Remember that part where the story teller said that Eldgars trusted apprentice (Bruce) was rarely silent on the journey back to Finn's home. Then Bruce says that the little ditty that Thad's sing his driving him nuts! LOL!

Also, this is the second time that John was referred to as a "wizard". In "Still Life" Bruce called John "Mr. Wizard".

Oh yeah, that part in the script where it says that stories never really end, or something like that, and the queen reading the story of a little boy, that is "The Never Ending Story" to me as well as maybe LOTR.

I loved "Heros and Demons". I thought it was the best episode of the season, sofar. I noticed that a lot of people are still saying that the show no longer takes risks and that it does not have the emotion of previous seasons. I cannot believe people are still saying this after "Heros and Demons". The producers took a big chance with a very unique narrative style, Johnny's childhood loss of his father and Ryan Fallons struggle to deal with his son's limitations was all very moving and well done. The show is still taking risks from where I stand. Amazing Episode.
