i heart heroes


first things first let's talk about my fave, heroes. although the premiere wasn't as good as last season's, i didn't expect it to be and so i thought it was a pretty good set up for the rest of the season. i'll provide a lil synopsis for this episode to update you as to where our fave characters are (warning there are spoilers):

we learned that 'the bennets', now 'the butlers' have moved to costa verde, ca and claire gets to keep the nissan rogue (this year's new versa). she is also not a robot as her new classmate and fellow hero has deemed everyone at school robots or aliens (robots do as they're told and aliens do what they want). we also learn HRG doesn't want her to draw any attention to herself, which means no cheerleading for claire bear...but i'm sure that is going to change. HRG is working at a kinkos type place with a dink boss and pretty much is a bad ass especially when he's on break.

nathan has apparently decided against congress, grown a gruffy beard, drank lots of alocohol and has had half of his face blown off that can only been seen in the mirror. he also fully believes our peter is alive.

hiro is stuck in 1671 with takeo kensei, who is a british guy played by the lovely david anders (of alias fame). kensei is not the hero that hiro has been told about, he's just in it for the money, the sake, and the chicks. it seems hiro has changed history, let's see if he can fix it.

parkman, molly and mohinder are all one happy family except molly has been having nasty dreams concerning eyes and the ever elusive symbol that has been all over this show since the beginning. parkman finally gets to be a detective, and molly gets to go to school. mohinder meanwhile has been traveling the world speaking of these extraordinary people and a mysterious virus that is plaguing them to whoever will listen which is not many. 'the company' has recruited him to find a cure for this virus but little do they know that mohinder and HRG have got a game plan.


hiro's dad is dead and the petrelli mama is marked with a red verson of the symbol. death comes by way of a hooded man who mr. nakamura apparently knew.


as for our beloved peter (my fave hero) just take a look at the picture above (source: nbc.com). he's ended up in this crate, shirtless (yum), blood scratched and he has no idea who he is. if you look closely you can see again that our symbol is on his necklace. so where has he been these four months? and what happened to him?!?!?! who knows? but i can't wait to find out.


there is also a new hero or possibly heroes (maya and alejandro). it's not really clear what exactly maya's power is but people around her keep turning up dead. and these two are on the run for mr. suresh so that she can find a cure.....

there was no new info on niki, dl or micah which leads me to believe that dl is the only death that really stuck from the season finale. sylar was seen walking around in the beginning of the episode so he is most definitely alive.....and possibly reaking havoc.

so now that the lil synoposis is out of the way we can talk about what i thought: the set up was pretty great. the petrelli storylines are going to be interesting as our the bennets. this new hero classmate seems to look a lot like zack and his whole purpose seems to be as a love interest for our dear claire. the kensei twist was pretty nice and it will be interesting to see how hiro ensures his presence doesn't change history. the title of volume 2 is "generations" and from what we've seen so far this is definitely the case. we are going to learn about the heroes, where they come from and where more are coming from. this whole virus thing intrigues me too....is this what molly had at the end of the season? and is this what mohinder's sister died from? so many questions were posed....it's gonna be a good ride and i can't wait for the rest of it
