It's back.  I DVRed it, looking forward to it.

All I'll say is that it was an interesting start. I hope they can recover from the craptacular season 2. Oh well time will tell.

So far, I'm excited about the new season.  I'm curious what happened to Dr Suresh.  I don't remember him being that reckless in season 2.

All I can say is WOW!!   

I think that some of this is their deliberate attempt to keep things moving, by simply glossing over a few minor continuity issues of time passage.

Actualy, after reading the directors blog, apparently very little time has passed.

Nikki is dead, so that is NOT her, that is someone else entirely (The real Jessica maybe?).

They did slip up with Hiro being in charge of the company though, it was supposed to be his sister, though perhaps she's in charge behind the scenes with Hiro as the company head.  Or perhaps Hiro's father saw what Hiro did to save the world and changed his mind.

The only thing that makes sense to me with the whole Nikki situation is that the doctor either created them or cloned them. Cuz when Tracy was talking to Dr. Zimmerman he mentioned something about others and he created her. It was a good episode. Good to see the Haitian again too.

I don't recall the different name. I remember Zimmerman saying the one from Beverly Hills or something like that. And she didn't look like "um - who do you think I am?" or anything like that. But who knows.

It was a different name but I can't recall what it was. I assume there are more than one more out there. Looks like they all have different powers. Wouldn't whatever gave the power also be cloned? Meaning the same powers?

I think the guy said Barbara when he answered the door.  And as for the powers of nikki and stuff, I don't think it is inherent in the DNA.  That would mean that every time Sylar or Peter absorbed another power, it altered their DNA structure.  And the serum that Suresh just cooked up would have to alter the DNA to grant a power.  I think it has something to do with the brain.  Because that is where Sylar looks when he is learning a new power.  What do you guys think?

I agree it is a brain thing, not a DNA thing.

Also, it was Barbara. Last nighs episode confirmed that the other name of the triplets was Barbara. Interesting to see when she pops in somewhere down the road.

Ok, Drew and I don't agree on something. A couple of episodes ago when Ma Petrelli told Sylar that he was her son, I took that to be her playing him - giving him a "gifted" mother figure to look to since his own mother could never understand him. Drew took that to be that she really did give him up for adoption and that she is his biological mother.

Then, last nights episode confused me, becuase Gabrielle/Sylar truly does believe he is her son, even to the point that he calls Peter brother, and his son calls Peter his uncle. So, what is the deal? Is Sylar really his bilogical brother, or is he so worked over by Ma Petrelli that he just believes it to be so?

It could have been a story she was feeding him to get him to work with Noah. It's becoming very soapish if it wasn't already.

As I thought about it over the last week, I came to the same conclusion. I do believe that Sylar is related, simply for what you just said Tim - that their powers are the same - in that they can both absorb powers - just different in how that power is absored.

Looking forward to seeing tonights episode. And I think it would be safe to say that Pa Petrelli might be behind the whole "putting the formula together" issue. At least he seems the most likely at this point, although I wonder why...

 

Hero's and villains. Let's blur the lines....

I am disappointed in what the writers did to Hiro.

I have to agree that it is becoming a mess, but...

First, I do find it intruiging that Parkman Sr was behing the whole Linderman thing. At leat that question is answered. And it does make sense.

Second, I don't like what they did to Hiro either. Did he so willingly kill Ando because he knows he can go back into time and fix it, or did he do it because he fears the glimpse of the future he saw in which Ando kills him? Either way, not cool - Hiro was always the one I thought would remain true to being a real "hero".

Third, I am very much a black and white kind of person - I don't like the lines between good and evil to be blurred - not like my chaotic husband does (Drew!!). Now, I don't mind that Sylar crosses the line from bad to good (because that does make things interesting - and you do need at least one good chaotic character), I don't like that the good ones have crossed the line into darkness (Peter, Mohinder, Hiro). That makes me sad, mad, and just plain confused as to what the h*ll is going on.

Too many questions, not enough answers. I am beginning to see why a lot of people became disenchanted with the show Lost during the 2nd or 3rd season - a little mystery is certainly a good thing, but if you take too long to answer some questions and to give us a glimpse of clarity, you are going to lose people. I didn't experience that with Lost because we watched the first 3 seasons on DVD, so I didn't have to wait as long to get my answers, but I can empathize.

Anyone else feeling the same way??
