A Land Far Away

So, the season premiere was last night and it was freaking awesome! I enjoyed the fact we get to see a bit of Molly and how the boogie man is watching her. Im glad parkman is still alive and actually taking care of Molly while Mohinder works with HRG in infiltrating the Company.

I knew that Peter would be alive. There was no way he was going to die. It remains to be seen what happens to him now. Im really stoked to find out who is using the symbol to scare everyone up. (boogie man?) Its somehow related to Hiro's hero from Japan.

The girl from South America has an awesome power. She freaks out and kills people by making them bleed from the inside out or something like it. Im wondering if her brother is also a mutant. She only seems to be able to control her power around him or that was the impression left.

Claires new friend is awesome. Hes like Superboy so far. I bet he could spot her being one of the "special" folks from the first time he met her. It should be interesting to see what they do with this.

What was your favorite moment last night? What are your predictions for the upcoming season? Lets get some feedback going. Its always fun talking about this awesome show. Im also going to tune into the Bionic Woman tonight and see how it turns out.


Also..I just read their going to have a Heroes spinoff series that will introduce new characters to the regular show. A lot of big name horror/comic writers have signed on to produce scripts including Eli Roth and Kevin Smith.

Dan, that symbol was apparant in every episode in the last season in various places, it resembles a DNA coil with an addition.


Bout the bean brothers, well, the way I see it the sister doesnt freak you out or anything. bleeding from your eyes and ears means that your brain is exploding, least that's what I got it from. dun' think her brother can do anything but act as a supressor by him being there and calming her down.

Since she ain't familier with her powers, they only errupt at moments of emotional distress and such.

Clair's new friend is a freakin perv and I want an explanation about Nathan. Is he looking normal or is he half burnt and gained a new camo power?


Oh, and making peter suffer from amnesia is kinda corny, but the best way to keep him out of interfering with the NY stuff.

Peter's memory loss immediately makes me think of the Haitian...not to mention the necklace. Got to be some connection there.

The stuff with the older generation of Heroes is promising (8 left, including mother Peterelli?). The stuff with the south americans is not. I'd rather learn more about the current characters than new ones.

Hiro stuff is uber as always.

Claire's friend is evil. And we've already done flying - what's up with that?

Another Nathankid, perhaps.

So, bigger comic names than Loeb and Tim Sale? Tell me more

Nathans plight is looking better. Im glad to see he finds out who he is to a point.

I really hope Ms Petrelli gets whats coming to her that old bag

The cat is out of the bag when it comes to claire and the new boy from school. Its going to be interesting to see where this leads.

Im glad to see the hatian is back and working with HRG and Mohinder.

The twins powers are very interesting. Their like the Yin and Yang of each others powers. One is to heal and one is to destroy.

The whole Hiro in the past ordeal is actually good fun. I kinda had hoped that the fake Kensai would die and Hiro would get the girl.

All and all a really good episode.

I must agree with the south american couple. I can understand that they need new heroes to keep things fresh, but nothing about their story has grabbed me so far.

Peter and Hiros stories are, as always, fantastic in my mind. Was nice to see Peter use one of his most recently acquired powers (Phasing from DL).

I am also glad to see the Hatian back. Felt like he dropped out a bit too early from season 1.

Also hoping to see the invisible man back in some way.

Right here and now i reckon they will do the whole "evil guy turning good but still having evil on his mind" thing with Sylar later in the series. The bad guy needs to be at least as powerful as Sylar was, especially now Peter has mastered control of Teds power, and we know Sylar isn't dead.

Does anyone doubt that the dude in Claire's school is a company plant? Everything designed to appeal to her, right down to the familiar power he has. He's already turning her against her dad. Suprise.

I like the fact that Peter can only use his powers on an instictual level now, that he has to need them for them to kick in.

Sylar has the virus?!?

Still ambivalent about the Wonder Twins from Honduras.

One more thing.....DL!

I "got into" this show just before Season 2. Courtesy of downloading every episode of season 1 and enjoying them in pretty rapid order.

I find this has made me kind of have a hate-on for Season 2 "pace." Too many characters, whose tales advance just a tiny jot, between the massive and frequent commercial blocks. Tiny bit of Peter story, then jump to tiny bit of South American story, then maybe a tiny bit of Claire story... ugh. Unifying even a little handful of characters, even temporarily, tends to let the pace increase, which I kind of hope happens soon.

Alternate is just turning it off all season, downloading it, and gorging myself on a bunch of consecutive 40-43 minute episodes.

Yeah, I first saw all of season one on my iPod (then got the DVDs so the kid could watch).

Watching them that way, you don't realize how they did the jumping around part (no Parkman until what, episode three?), and yay, no commercials. Fortunaely Heroes is easy to find on the pirut sites. Arr!

Yeah, I agree there are just too many characters running around now... to the point where I'm surprised when a new face DOESN'T have any powers. Anyway, nice to see they used every possible reason to show off Pete's new buffed body

Sylar to me has gotten way boring and should have died at the end of season one and the dude peeping tom that's been stalking Claire is just bloody annoying. It's like he knew she had powers all along.

Still, I'll be watching each week but I hope the writers tighten up the cast.

Enjoyed this weeks episode a lot.

We got to see how Parkmans dad is an evil bastard. His look almost reminded me of the Violater from Spawn. We also got to see the new girl from the WB on the show. Kristen Bell. Hawt! Btw, speculation on who her daddy is?

Im liking Michas relative more and more. Shes got a great ability. Its cool to see her and Micha bond.

I think now after all thats happened Parkman will be able to help Molly, but Mohinder screwed up and brought her into the Company.

Was nice to see Nikki again, but the whole tortured soul routine is getting old for me. I want to see something good come from her plotline. It would be awesome to see her become a strong hero, but I think they will always keep her as a anti hero type more like the Punisher etc.

Nathans face is fucked up Im wondering why he keeps seeing himself like that? Is he really messed up and somehow he has an illusion on himself or whats up with that?

Peters plotline is still Win. I enjoy whats going on with him and I cant wait for him to leave Ireland to find out more about whats going on.

Best episode yet!!

I like Monica (I think that's what Micha called his cousin) alot.

...her 9th Wonder parallel's name "St. Joan" is a subtle way of refering to her. St. Joan d'Arc was also called "the Maid of Orleans".

Mohinder =

they're starting to get sloppy with the plot turns. All the subtlety of a train wreck. Its kinda like they got too much plot and are kinda choking on it.

I liked last night's show better than the prior handful. Every fifteen minutes or so there's something crazy plot twisty though.... or worst case, they save 'em all for the last ten minutes.

Too many characters still. Need a TPK.
