Nathan was shot and Sylar's got his powers back. That's all I remember from the finale.

Anyway he's alive and I think Nikki's alive too based on commercials I've seen.

SHIT! I forgot that you get some sort of sneak peek at this shit. Heroes Premiere: Ruined.

EDIT: I read the first line and assumed it was some sort of spoiler. Disregard my above remarks. :)

I think he's talking about the commercials. Right?

Shit, I hope this doesn't conflict with CSI Miami. I don't know what I'll do if Horatio is really dead. ;)

Only spoilers I have is that the first half of the season is called Villains and the second half is called Fugitives.

Oh brother.

More complaints than good things to say about those two.

I guess Tim Kring loved Spider-Man 3 so much that he decided to make that Mohinder's new character?

yeah. Two very meh episodes, IMO. But, I do differ in my interpretation of Mohinder. Although you're probably right, my first thoughts kept pointing toward Jeff Goldblum in The Fly. haha

Absolutely terrible. Can't believe how bad it was.

I'm not totally negative. Hiro, Ando & Daphne was fun and looks like it should be interesting. Sylar's line of "Eat your brain? Claire, that's disgusting." was great.

I just find it hard to not focus on the bad comic book writing.

If Sylar (Vulcan) is the long-lost brother of Peter (Cyclops) and Nathan (Havok), how long before their dad (Corsair) returns from space with a band of aliens?


The escaped villains could be good, though. And Elle is sure to be Noah's new partner. What happened to Micah and his cousin, though?

That was a lot better.

The Tracey reveal at the end has the potential to be a groaner, though. I assumed she was just going to be the switched-at-birth twin sister of Nikki.

Yeah. Of all characters to get rid of, why not Nikkessica? Man, she's my least favorite character now that Mohinder has turned into the super-strength spider-man fly rapist.

I'm getting really fucking sick of this stupid "the future sucks, what do we do?!" storyline. Season 1 it was kind of fun. Season 2 it was like "okay, we've done this already." And now they're doing it again. The characters are so pitiful that they can't accomplish anything or stir up any drive on their own unless they're implicitly told by paintings/ghosts/African men/future versions of themselves what to do?

For all the Nikki haters, there's apparently a third Nikki triplet out there somewhere too. Oh yay.

If the cells make you unable to use powers, how did Peter teleport into one?

Apparently Mohinder only starts off as Spider-Man. Then he turns into the Lizard.

And we get to look forward to another season of Peter struggling with his own abilities. Only it's because of Sylar's powers this time, not Ted's.


I just really fucking hate bad comic book writing and this is reaching Amazing Spider-Man levels of bad.

Time for Nathan to start building those Sentinels.

But other than Peter, Claire, Angela, Matt, Daphne, Ando, Mohinder, Tracy, and possibly Micah and Monica, who is there for him to track down?

I thought the 3rd season was generally terrible but the last two episodes were better. Maybe season 4 will get back to season 1 level of quality.

claire's mom is probably still alive, fire dude, hiro, the haitian, african spirit walker guy, syler, they have to pin *something* on claire's dad, there were three badies that they let out and we only saw metal-turning guy and fat puppetmaster actually bite the dust.

plus new mutants that we haven't seen yet.

Metal-turning guy might not be dead either, since his fingers were twitching... he might pull a terminator and pull himself back together.

I figure Meredith, her brother, and the rest of the villains Bennet let out all died when the building collapsed.

And Hiro doesn't have powers anymore and Matt's African guy was killed by Arthur.

Sylar will be back when someone finds him and pulls whatever is stuck in his head out, though.

Except the African guy was standing in Suresh's NY apt where Matt, Daphne, Hiro, and Ando were at the end of the show.

Actually physically standing there? I was under the impression that was Matt seeing things.

I suppose it could be, but there wasn't really anything there to indicate that it was some vision other than no one else seemed to notice him. I don't know. I don't see his character being all that integral anyway.

don't even get me started on heroes and all the loopholes this season created.... only thing is, i'm glad the characters who died actually stayed dead (instead of the lame, oh my god, the eclipse happened and sylar and claire died! but no! the eclipse came back and they're alive!)

and please, please, PLEASE kill mohinder and nikki/tracey/whatever her name is already. i'm soooo over those 2.

all i know is that bryan fuller will be back come episode 19, and dude better BRING IT. thank god the other 2 writers were fired.

If anybody is still watching, I think the new season is remarkably better. I've actually enjoyed it quite a bit so far.

I'm still watching, while it is better in some ways, the dialogue has been atrociously bad....

Having said that, with the cancellation of Pushing Daisies, Brian Fuller is back writing for Heroes again - I believe that the episodes he helped write will be starting in a couple of weeks and as such I fully expect the writing and the dialogue to improve dramatically.
