Re: Heroes is back

I am making the call: If they continue where they left off last season, Hiro will meet his dad in feudalism Japan.

Yeah, this has been pretty bad. Big letdown, but of course I'm going to continue watching.

Re: Heroes is back

Not their best effort, but I can forgive a show in the early going ... it has to set some things up for a later payoff. Hopefully it can find its stride again next week ... a few more weeks of laying an egg like this one will make it much tougher to whittle out time for this show.

Re: Heroes is back

Hummmm, I thought it was pretty good. I was able to read into it a bit and have an idea were it could be going. But then again...I could be wrong. Either way, I will continue to watch.

Re: Heroes is back

Are they re-running this episode at some point, or do I have to watch it online?

Re: Heroes is back

The Claire storyline was just... uggh. One day of school and she already can't hide that she's special? I half expected her to call an assembly, break her own neck, and then name the 50 state capitals right then and there, then run home crying about how she can hide who she is. When does LOST start again? :-P

Re: Heroes is back

I thought it was alright, but I didn't have high expectations for the first episode. Too much "hangover" from the finale. There were parts of it that could definitely lead to some interesting story lines, and that's all I really expected out of the premier.

I actually liked Journeyman (the quantum leap clone) better.

Re: Heroes is back

Some points/ questions:

It has become glaringly obvious Sylar survived.

Only some of the story lines were explored this week, I almost expect a similar, drawn out setup episode next week before really heating up.

Is the boy Claire met at school her step-brother?

Are Mrs. Petrelli and Hiro's father one of the nine, or are there nine others that could have turned?

I thought Mohinder already found the antibody to the virus in his blood, is the quest for funding just a cover up or is did the antibody fail?

The Peter storyline at least heated up in the end.

Pretty sure it was the setup to get "into" the company for Mohinder.
