aww, we love Heroes!

Brian's and my synopsis of the new season so far, as written in an email to a friend:

I'm actually a bit annoyed at Peter's storyline. All last season we were built up to the moment when Peter would finally discover control and would break out as a hero who could kick some serious keister. Yet this season they return to the same "I'm still trying to discover myself and how these things work" only now they've added the twist of "and by the way, who am I really - I'd rather be some low level street thug than try to figure it out."

Sylar, now that he's been reintroduced, seems interesting enough. Why is it that his powers aren't working? Interesting. I guess we'll find out later.

Claire, same story, different day. "Why am I different, and why should I hide it" is getting old as it enters the second season.

Mohinder's as clueless as ever.

Bennett - Again, same guy different day. Looked to turn over a new leaf, but still thinks he's in control and Mr. Superspy. "I'm only trying to do what's best for my family."

Shame about DL. Downright shame.

Maja and Bro, well, um, okay, so what's the big deal if her brother can reverse the effect and bring everyone back to life? Most unconvincing people yet.

Nathan seems intriguing, but they haven't really dealt with him much yet.

Finally Hiro. Oh dear what have they done to you Hiro? Can his story line get much more painful? Where is this going? Is Kensei going to teach him how to use a sword, or are we just sitting here wasting valuable time learning about the once drunkard Kensei going straight and becoming a hero.


And now, some fantastic predictions by Brian:


Peter - something will fall out of the sky and hit him on the head. He'll then regain his memory, and forget again how to use his powers. He'll search for Nathan who'll be glad to see him but kill him for being so darn frustrating.

Sylar - Eats one too many jungle leaves and goes normal (as opposed to going crazy, since he's clearly already there). Lives a quiet peaceful life driving his Nissan Versa back and forth to his normal job every day.

Claire - continues to whine, even at her high school reunion. Never gets hired to do pedicures.

Mohinder - survives from pure ignorance. Like Bean. So annoying, even bad guys can't get rid of him.

Bennett - Well, getting shot in the eye isn't the worse thing that can happen I guess. He can't possibly live as a copy repairman for long time.

As for DL, it's probably just a phase (lol)

Maja's going to perform for the sad circus. and her brother's going to be the ringmaster. It's going to be a killer show.

Hiro's going to kill kensei, take the girl and hop to the future and get a Cloud-like hairdo.
