Heroes 2.2 Lizards

I have to say that Heroes redeemed itself after episode 2.2, Lizards aired on Monday October 1st. The introduction of Maya and her brother, Alejandro, made more sense, especially since they revealed that he too also has a power that counteracts Maya's. However, the story line that followed Peter was a bit trite. He saves the sister of the man that is holding him against his will and now she will be Peter's new love interest. Hiro's character is always fun to watch. Especially as he decides to save the legend of Kenesai by dressing up as him and saving the swordsman's daughter. Unfortunately, the real Kenesai gets shot with arrows but, low and behold, he too has a ability.

The plot between Noah Bennett and Mohinder Suresh to invade "The Company" is a bit confusing and you know that it's going to cause another chasm between Mr. Bennett and his family, especially Claire, who is still struggling to trust her father. I loved the last scene when Claire, curious about the limits of her ability, cuts her little toe off with her mother's sewing scissors as Claire's classmate, who can fly, peeps in from the window. I was kinda sad to see it end but am relieved that Heroes is still going to be one of the top shows to be reckoned with. Episode 2.3, Kindred, airs Monday, October 8th.

Heroes 2.1 Four Months Later

Heroes Season two premiered on Monday, September 24th, 2007. Despite all the excitement and anticipation of the new season, I was sorely disappointed.
Episode 2.1, Four Months Later, was confusing. In the season finale, we were left with all the main characters in the square in New York watching Nathan fly Peter into the atmosphere, where Peter then exploded, in order to save New York from a nuclear disaster. It then picks up four months later, everyone living their own lives and giving no indication to what happened right after Peter "died".
I know that Tim Kring has a way of taking you forward, then back, then forward again, but personally I don't think the season premier lived up to the finale. The only story line that wasn't confusing was the one that followed Hiro as he went back in time to find Kenesai. The other story lines following Matt Parkman, The Bennetts, The Petrellis, and Mohinder Suresh, you had to read-between-the-lines and sort of figure out what must have happened to these people in the four months since they narrowly escape disaster. Plus, introducing the new character of the young Mexican girl, with a terrible power she can't control, seemed out of context. It seemed like they just threw her in for the heck of it. Now, the introduction of the boy who can fly fit into the story line and plot since they introduced him as one of Claire's new classmates who has shown an interest in Claire.
Another confusing factor was the introduction of the symbol that in season one was connected with Kenesai, which was considered good but is now being associated as "evil" due to the fact that Molly, the little girl that can find other people with powers and who Matt Parkman saved from Sylar in season one, is having nightmares about a man and the symbol is linked to this man. Also, at the end of the episode, we see Peter locked in a large container and he has no idea who or what he is. The only link is that same symbol hanging around his neck.
I'm hoping that Tim Kring will shed more light on everything in episode 2.2, Lizards, instead of just building on and then go back to explain things right before the winter hiatus.

Updates

Wow! Time sure flies when you're... um... not... really having fun but just real busy. It's almost time for the new fall television season and I'm so excited! Supernatural returns on October 4th, Heroes returns on September 24th, Stargate Atlantis returns on September 28th with Amanda Tapping joining the cast, Ghost Hunters returns on September 26th and that is all I am up with right at the moment. Battlestar Galactica returns in November but I don't remember the date right off the top of my head. If you can't tell, I'm addicted to the SciFi channel.

Of course, the show that I'm most excited about is the return of Supernatural. There was some debate this last spring about whether or not it was going to be renewed for a third season but all is well, at least for now. I don't read spoilers so all I know is that there is going to be some major changes in Sam and Dean's life, especially since Dean made a deal and only has one year to live. I can't wait to see what Eric Kripke and his writing staff have up their sleeves and I hope that they can keep the ball rolling yet still maintain the excellence of writing.
