The Magic Is Back

Finally got around to watching Heroes season 2 episode 1.

It is as good as any of the good shows from season one. I liked seeing the old characters in new situations, seeing new characters, and just all around watching Heroes again. The episode left me drooling for more (which is what a good pilot show should do).

So I'll be hooked, watching it week by week again this year. I lent out my box set of season one, now I can't wait to get it back and relive the glory of season one, and listen to the commentaries and behind the scenes stuff.

And as a bonus we didn't see Sylar or Niki in the first episode. Yay!!
Maybe with the actor playing Sylar going off to play Spock in the new ST movie, they will kill off the character. I hope so, I'm tired of him. Maybe he will be punked by the new bad guy, just to show how tough the new guy is (dubbed Sauron by some of fandom).

Hiro is still as wonderful as ever, and the episode really re-inforces the idea of never meeting your heroes, you will be disappointed. Ando go screen time; watching Noah and Claire was great; Matt is actually having things go his way; Suresh is actually being proactive, and smart; Nathan is all so guilt ridden, and calling his mom Evil was wonderful; Peter's reveal at the end was cool. I like the new flyer, and I can't wait to see what kind of story develops around the twins.
Great great stuff.
