Did anyone else watch the premiere tonight?
It was amazing!
So many questions unanswered, so much intrigue and action.
Geez I can't wait till next week...
though I wish the Monday schedule wasn't so crowded... And with My Own Worst Enemy and Chuck being added to NBC's monday line up soon, it'll just get worse

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how the revelation at the end pans out.

I hated how cheesy the plot twist at the end was.

SPOILERS (just in case)....HIGHLIGHT BELOW
Yeahhhhh.....Sylar is a Petrelli? Really? Meh.
A bit too many new characters....a few too many scenes spoiled in the countdown special...
Here's my thoughts:
Mohinder becoming...whatever...he's becoming is weird, but awesome. Seeing him all hanging from the roof, being all Spiderman...crazy stuff...and he gets to hook up with Maya, so good for him
Hiro and Ando...not digging the whole formula thing, and another epic explosion (cries way too much of Season 1)...but Ando gets crazy powers? Sick. Wonder how that happens.
Sylar is becoming too epic, basically unbeatable. Although he did get crazy owned by Elle's outburst. Another Peter vs Sylar showdown is imminent...and should be awesome...once Peter gets his own body back (not too much of a fan of that whole scenario)....and with Peter's healing powers, how the hell does he get the scar anyway? It's puzzling.
Matt got thrown in Africa, and this random guy comes to his rescue and knows his name...had to love the Universal shirt though, so out of place and funny. But another character who knows everything...been done...
Apparently Angela Petrelli's power, that no one knew until last night, was just Peter's first lame dream power. I mean, seeing the future is kinda cool, but it doesn't give her character anything new. And I'm kinda pissed about the scene with all the heroes dead...as that was on the Season 2 DVD as supposed "lost footage"...didn't think it'd actually be used...the teaming makes so little sense...and all the heroes dead? Way to kill off EVERYTHING.
Claire can't die...nothing new. She has the same power as Adam, aka Takezo, from what we've seen, and the guy's lived for 400 years. She's starting to get wicked emo, losing faith in her humanity. When she got her powers...er, copied...by Sylar...it was just an odd scene. Sylar almost seemed...pleasant....well, as pleasant as you can be when you removed the top of someone's head.
Nathan is seeing ghosts? Ghosts that can heal...people...? First I thought he was gonna be an annoyingly religious character, which bugged me already, but now they're making him seem like a crazy person? What? They totally spoiled Linderman's return in the countdown special. Maybe I shouldn't have watched it, a lot would have been less spoiled and more suprising. Figures.
So overall, it was pretty good, but had its flaws IMO. It can only get better from here.

To be honest I really tried to enjoy it as much as I wanted and ended up not
My biggest problem was no single underlying plot yet and just ton of all over the place things going on.
I mean I never watch Heroes with a huge amount of hope for the greatest thing ever but I watched the season opener truly hoping with all the hype that they would make it something amazing and I felt that along with the all over the place plot lines and the scene jumping constantly...I guess I just feel like, at this point, the writers are saying to me. "I dont have to try anymore really b/c I know you will watch it."
Maybe I am the only one who felt that way about it.

That whole Sylar twist was far too reminiscent of how Marvel keeps teasing a third Summers brother.

I (obviously) watched it last night. I thought it was nothing short of amazing. Those first two episodes alone make up for the entire lackluster season 2.
So many questions...
Which reminds me, I couldn't have been more wrong with the shooters identity.
Back to the questions...
What's everyone's theory on them?
*Spoilers for those who haven't seen the premiere*
Linderman: I personally think Nathan is going insane and that Linderman is just a hallucination. It's possible the bullets didn't kill him because he still has Adam's blood flowing through his body.
Ando: He's gonna become one of the villains, no doubt about it. Hiro is slowing pushing him away and causing a riff between the two. I have no idea how he gets his (very awesome) powers.
There's so much more to talk about, but I gotta head out for now. Long story short, I'm loving season 3.

Something I was wondering involving the regeneration/immorality powers...
what if you behead them? Would they be dead then? Or would the only be dead as long as you don't let the head anywhere near the body again... Like you could bury them separately
Also, the world cracking painting was awesome...

I absolutely loved it, but I knew that I would. Can't wait for the rest of the season - this is my first time actually watching Heroes as it occurs, I watched the first and second seasons on DVD.
I didn't find all the flaws that you guys do in it, I'm sure I will start as I become further involved, as I did with Lost, criticism of your favorite shows is nearly inevitable, but for now, I'm just enjoying everything they throw at me.

It was a mess to be fair but some good things coming out of it. Most intrigued to what Mohinder is up to.... I hope he becomes a Man-Spider  . |

How can you guys say there's no underlying plot?
1. The world cracking right in half / exploding.
2. The Heroes being hunted and killed in the near future.
3. Kaito's formula getting into the wrong hands.
4. Mohinder's discovery, which can lead to a multitude of horrible things if the wrong people find out about it.
And did anyone else notice that two of Mohinder's scenes were copied exactly from Cronenberg's version of The Fly?

I did enjoy the Heroes premiere. I like the villains and the Speedster. I like that they had Sylar get the healing ability and finally revealed Mother Petrelli's power. I didn't enjoy Sylar being a Petrelli. Why does everyone have to be related? I also enjoyed Weevil and Veronica Mars being in the same scene, that made me laugh.
HOWEVER
I am a little pissed that Heroes is ripping off BOTH the 4400 and Battlestar Galactica!
Dr. Suresh discovers an amazing formula that when injected gives anyone powers. So he injects himself and goes through a Kafka-esque transformation while developing powers.
Just like Dr. Burkhoff isolates Promicin from the blood of 4400's and injects himself, them goes through a Kafka-esque transformation and develops powers.
Nathan Petrelli was saved by Mr. Linderman who now guides him and influences him. But only Nathan can see him.
Sounds like Dr. Baltar, who was saved by the cylon Six and is continually haunted by her as she guides and influences him. And yes, only he can see her.

Did the whole storyline with Mohinder remind anyone else of Cronenbergs "The Fly" ?

Apparently you are not familiar with the forma of the show Episodes 1-6- disparate stuff happens, they seem unrelated Episodes 6- midseason Are things that unrelated? Midseason through finale- drawing everything together. There shouldn't be an obvious plot yet. If there was, the writers didn't do their job in setting things up. PS. * SPOILERS * Who wants to bet The formula that ends up destroying the world is the same thing Mohinder just discovered, and it's all future Peter's fault. Also, whatever happened to that chick Peter lost in the future? |

Keep me guessing for sure. The whole Linderman only you can see me thing is kind of wack.

Also, whatever happened to that chick Peter lost in the future? I think the writers hope we forgot about Caitlin. Even though they just released the Season 2 DVD. I doubt they'll mention her again, to be honest. She didn't do much for the plot, didn't have a power...not entirely useful. |
