The Kindness of Strangers

First of all, just wanted to note that the actress, Hayden Panettier, who is Claire Bennett in Heroes played Ally McBeal's daughter, Maddie (Series 5 of Ally McBeal). She looks so young in Ally McBeal.

Another program which deals with the issues of communication. What secrets should we keep? Is it OK to keep secrets to help someone? The thing is, you may think you're helping someone by keeping something from them, but you probably don't know everything they are thinking. How do you decide what you should tell, to who?

I'm not sure what happens at the end of Heroes, but Claire is keeping this boy she's met a secret from her Dad, and keeping her Dad a secret from the boy. In turn, her Dad is keeping a lot of secrets - maybe if they were all open about everything there would be no story, but is it just to make a story, or does this portray real life? I think it probably does, to a degree.
