“Heroes” returned this week (insert yawn here). In all fairness they did their best to draw in old fans and make them recall the fondness they once had for this show. The opening montage was 99.3% footage from season one (the only good season) and .7% other. They introduced characters with morally ambiguous motivations (Inky, Human Canvas, and Flashblade) that seem to be interesting despite the fact that they are traveling carnival acts.
Even Tracy, played by the actress that refuses to leave the show despite how many times they kill the character she is currently playing seemed interesting in these opening two episodes. Actually, I may have to take that back considering she went from ruthless killer to lost puppy that just wants to help people because Noah made her trust him in a 45 second conversation (I heart poor sentence structure). Well, on third thought, I actually like the pairing of Noah and Tracy so I’ll forgive the show of her radical change.
Peter playing super EMT was kind of neat though it seems like he is simply spinning his wheels. The Sylar as Nathan beast seems to be going somewhere, but could get old really quick if it does not get there soon. The Sylar echo in Parkman’s head was annoying and seemed to only serve the purpose of giving Zachary Quinto something to do in the opener (next time give him the episode off).
Claire in college is simply not working for me. Why does she give away her superhero identity like a Pez dispenser? She jumped out a dorm window and around 100 other rooms had a line of sight on her. She’d be lucky if only her morbid roommate saw her fall and put herself back together.
While I did not love the Hiro and Ando save a cat story I do like that Hiro has serious consequences for using his powers. I wonder who is going to magically fix him and take the drama they are slowly building out of the series… maybe Inky.
