Heroes: (Volume Three: Villains) The Second Coming--Season Premiere

[Dog Moon]

I thought not telling us the villain's power that Peter is trapped in was a bit of a cop-out, but eh.

I was pretty sure they had. It was brief and on one of the pages describing them all, but the villian had something to do with sound.

Though i will say i am completely stumped on Jessica, Nicki, new girl. She can't possibly be the jessica nicky we know because i would assume it would take along time to get to the point of advisor for the governor.

It's been so long I can't remember everything that happened last season, but was Jessica "fixed" - that is, powers removed? Or did she leave "rehab" before that happened? If so, what happens if one gets injected with the formula? Do you get the same power back, or could you manifest a new one?

Were they really experimenting on her in "rehab"? Jessica was last seen in the middle of a massive explosion. Stacie's cold ability might be a power that manifested out of self defense (and the way Jessica's mind already had a coping mechanism for her powers, a new personality was created as well.)

Well lots to digest. My comments are as follows (In sblock since that seems to be where we are going so far).

On to the characters:

Current Claire: Now there is some trauma for her. I can see how removing feeling from her could turn her evil this season. I did enjoy the healing is a lame power comment. I hope she goes hunting with her dad. From the previews she may have to spend time with Sylar which won’t help her psyche. I am still liking her but the writers need to be careful.

Overall Tim Kring has kept most of his promises to fix Heroes. Other than the Mohinder/Maya storyline this seems to be a good start to season three. I am almost willing to forgive Season 2 and make this a must watch show again. They got at least 4-5 more episodes out of me from these two even if it does go bad again.

I think this situation could bring back the whole don't trust my father routine from the last two season. How do you think she will react when she learns that

Sylar and HRG working together

Tim Kring needs to keep apologizing after that episode, AFAIC.

Hated it. Made no sense, a huge number of despicable characters and actions, and out-and-out moments of idiocy.

It's only worth watching for Hiro and Ando - everyone else has become annoying gits, and Sylar's continued overexposure is going to help stink up the joint.


Edit: And "Save the cheerleader, save the world"? What a load of garbage that turned out to be.

I guess Peter's Irish love has been wrote out of the story.

I liked it. Then, I didn't completely hate Season 2, either, so take from that what you will.

I think Nikki/Jessica/Tracy is/are the same person. I'm beginning to suspect that her power is much the same as Sylar and Peter's; a multi-power. Sylar needs to take his powers from other people, Peter needs to have come into contact with someone to use their power. Maybe N/J/T has to encapsulate each new power with a new personality? She needs to be strong, so she is, but she becomes the dead sister who she felt was the "strong one". She's being burned alive, what does she need? Ice powers. So she creates a frigid "ice queen" personality (although I don't see that in the way she plays the character, but it was said often enough that I guess it's supposed to be the case).

Doesn't explain how she could have gotten in with the governor so quickly...but in a world where super-clandestine organizations have access to folks with mind-control...I suppose anything's possible.

 

[Dog Moon]

I guess Peter's Irish love has been wrote out of the story.

Would she even technically exist anymore? She was taken from the present and put into a future which never came to be. She doesn't exist in the present anymore because she was taken, but since that future is no more, would it even be possible for Peter to go into the future that doesn't exist to find her? Would she be shunted to the actual future?

I think time travel brings up too many questions and I think bringing back Caitlin? would be too problematic for the time being...

It is not just the time travel, it is the alternate time paths...Why would there be a Dark Hiro

Spoiler

zapped by Ando, as he came about by Ando's death

just a bit strange.

 

[Punnuendo]

Loved it. Sylar, Elle, and Noah continue to be my favorites. Be interesting to see this year who steps up to do the right thing and who takes an easier path.

Oh, and "What? That's disgusting."

 

[Crothian]

It was okay. The stupidest part was them claiming those other escaped villians were worse then Sylar. Most of the characters though have become blah. There is a story being told and the writers don't seem to care if they have characters do dumb things so long as whatever their story becomes is not effected. That, and the cast is way to big they need to thin the heard.
