I'm liking it a lot so far. I think it does a good job at fixing the problems I had with the season opener by concentrating in more detail on fewer of the plots. And Peter's back! And he's being beaten up by Eko's dead brother from Lost. Haha, that was too long ago for me to remember the actor. But now we have a cliffhanger, with smiles all around. And scissors! And we know what Maya does, and it's quite disturbing!

So many moments to love : Hiro's pause while she awaits a kiss , "Get Out Of My Head !!" , . . .

(Yatta! I've finally gotten to see the darn thing! Now for my $0.02) Who do we think Nathan saw in the mirror , all scarred up ? I'm thinking it's what Nathan would/should have looked like after the "exploding man" incident. Now, why he looks normal (well, human - I'm not exactly enjoying the Grizzly Adams-lite look...) is a mystery. I heart HRG - heck the whole Bennet (oops, Butler) family. It was so awesome to see him lay the smackdown on that weaselly manager. The family dinner was some seriously repressed acting - so cringeworthy. It's nice to see that Sandra seems to have recovered from all that the Haitian did to her - it's only a matter of time until she starts asking questions, and a great time will be had by all (viewers, that is). It'll be interesting to see how a lot of things pan out (the assassinations, Hiro/Kensei, Peter, Nathan, Molly and the Badder-Than-Boogeyman, Maya/Alejandro, etc.). Right now, it's hard to have opinions on a lot of it, because we don't know much yet. This should be the real tagline for the show: "Wait until we tie up all the loose ends." When the show is setting stuff up, it can drag a bit, but when it all starts to come together, it's all kinds of awesome. Also, as to the assassinations, I think Kaito may not be dead. I know there was blood on that rooftop, but remember - two people went over. There is a slight possibility that he is just unconscious from the fall, and that the other guy is dead. I don't know... I love just having random theories about the show. Can't wait until tomorrow (that's when the next episode will be online for my viewing pleasure)!

Finally got around to the second episode. Much like the first season, there does seem to be a lot of loose ends. They did a pretty good job of taking care of that as the first season progresses. Hopefully they'll be able to do the same here.
I liked the effect they used for the Haitian's mind wipe of Suresh. That's that classic Heroes spookiness that made the Haitian character so much fun to begin with. And look who he meets up with in the end. Nice.
Claire and her toe. As cheesy as this show can be at times, everyone in the room I was watching with gave a collective "don't do it" under their breath. The resolution was another one of those fun moments the show just seems to pull out of nowhere. And frankly, I like where they're going with Claire. She's asking sensible questions, and I like how they keep involving Chandra Suresh's book. This storyline is actually plausible to me.
Matt meeting up with Angela Petrelli. The look on her face when she realizes what Matt is doing is chilling.
I'm lukewarm on the twins and their border run, but I haven't tossed it out yet, either. Her power is creepy as heck - and his is ambiguous. The healer trying to help her was pretty creepy, too.
Hiro's storyline is borderline silly, but they made it more interesting with what they revealed about Kensei at the end. I also like that Hiro seems to have a pretty good grip on his powers now.
Ah. The box. Gotta keep Peter's memory surpressed or he'll just become too powerful. I'd like to know what happen in the last moments of last season with Peter and Nathan.
And my biggest complaint: The previews from last week showing Sylar and Nikki when there was nothing to be seen of them anywhere in this episode. Save them up for some later plot points, fine, but don't set us up and then leave us hanging. Some of us like those characters!
They're holding my attention. I'll be back next week.

Now, why he looks normal (well, human - I'm not exactly enjoying the Grizzly Adams-lite look...) is a mystery. Well I thought he was seeing what he thought he should look like, if he had been with Peter when he exploded. The fact that Nathan is unharmed would suggest he flew Peter up real high then let go thus surviving. Peter survived because of the ability he sponged off Claire.

By the way, can Peter bend time and space now, since he was relatively near Hiro for a bit?

The healer who first calls the twin from Honduras "black inside & evil" . . we even got a version of Parkman's sound effect. And Kensei would seem to in Claire's category. Being that Hiro showed up just in time for another pivotal eclipse, Kensei's power has no doubt just been "unleashed" Has anyone else decided that Hiro , regardless of his intentions, go where he's "needed" ?

Also, it seems like, when he's where he's *supposed* to be, he has pretty precise control over his powers. Where did his power come from, though? Seems like they would have to be supernaturally given for something to decide where (when) was right for him to be. Or maybe it's just the space-time continuum itself forcing him to be there.

Or even like how water would run freely over a smooth surface , yet settle ( or be drawn to )a crack in the surface . . along them lines ? As far as your last query you awaited rebuttle to. ( aw jeez, did I just put query & re butt in the same sentence ?! It reveals nothing about me other then a flippant vocabuary ! ) Anywhoosh , Asking if Peter absorbed Hiro's ( continuum-directed ) abilities brings up other current questions : Is Peter regenerating from absolute disintegration ? If Jim "trumpysnout" Duggan's cool theory about Nathan's guilt supposes that Peter virtually atomized , and has taken 4 months to "reform" , it would make sense that internal data like some freakin' memory isn't the first order of business. His powers are returning as "reconnections" are made , memory will come. You can't upload to a computer till it's (re)built afterall. As to Peter having Hiro's power, well , we've already watched the alteration of the timeline that resulted in "5 Years Gone" , where we saw him bend time/space, but . . . . hmm, how close has he been to Hiro thus far ?

I'd have to watch it again, but weren't they pretty darn close in the season 1 finale, when Hiro came after Sylar?
About Peter's injuries, I thought at some point it was inferred that Peter himself would not be hurt by going nuclear - he would be the sole survivor if he was in the city. Sure, he would essentially be a massive burn victim for a while, but I didn't think he would have to reform. I could be wrong though.

Well, we know from Claire , and Peter , and even Kenzei now , that wounds appear proportionate to the damage . . . a toe removed is briefly gone . . . so an explosion that was cloud sized would likely "blow `im to bits". ( you'd think ) that reasoning , plus the passing of 4 months led me to picture a long , long healing process. Compared to a "Regenerators" standard few seconds. eh , it's all spitballing theories & grappling with half-informed logic at this point .

I've been watching and...well...this show is really boring. And I really, really dislike child actors.
But still, boring.

I get the impression that you just don't like the show all that much.
