A fair point, though I think there have been at least 3 episodes so far. I don't mind a nicely paced story and understand the need for a "reset", but so far things have not been all that interesting or compelling.

The girl who played Candice last year can be seen on "Reaper" as the love interest of the lead character. (or wanna be love interest at this point) |

Not necessarily. Last year she was just knocked out. Perhaps, she had enough residual subconscious ability left to maintain the illusion. This year, she was killed. That could explain the inconsistency. Shrug. Also, as far as looks go, I definitely prefered Candace to this year's illusion. Also, if you want to learn more about the character including what she looked like, last year's comics online are a must read. |

I agree that there was a difference. The residual subconscious angle is a good one. I tend to try think the writers have a strong understanding of their worlds and the powers they create, so I try to give them the benefit of the doubt. I like that explanation and shall adopt it. I totally preferred Candace as well. I found Candace distractingly attractive. Michelle, not so much.

I take the lack of activity and interest in this thread as a sign that people feel about Season 2 much the same as I feel about Season 2.

I thought last night did a good job setting up some possibilities... isn't November sweeps month? If so, I think next week will start a run of good episodes, or at least cliff hangers.

Yeah, I like the season so far. They convinced me for a sec that papa Parkman wasn't the bad guy. I wonder who electro girl was talking to?

I liked last nights episode- still a lot of different stories running around not connected so it makes the episodes seem a little jumpy, but you can tell they are getting closer to each other. Not a lot of action last night, but some good story (except Peter's irish girl, she sucks...)

Wow, Claire is intrigued by her ability to heal and she's being hit on by a guy at school who can fly. Hiro is in 17th century Japan fawning over a woman. Peter has lost his memory. A brother and sister with powers are trying to get to the US. Which episode is this? ALL OF THEM.

Well, except Claire and Maja y Alejandro weren't involved last night, but don't let that get in the way of your narrative.
Also, can we get "Bob" a last name? I mean, Mohinder works for him. Theoretically he at least has a fake name other than just Bob. And I think he is the most likely candidate for who Kristen Bell was talking to. |

Aww, come on now. Neither Claire nor the Wonder Death Twins were in this last episode... Though I imagine both will feature prominently, performing their assigned tasks, in next week's episode. I liked all of the Parkman/Nathan/Mr. Parkman stuff. I thought it was pretty cool. If Ricky dying means Peter leaves Ireland. Good. Micah's cousin is boring. Though if I had her power, I would have immediately gone out and rented as many kung fu and action movies as possible and maybe every episode of MacGyver. Hiro is Japan continues to bore... The whole messages to Ando thing doesn't make much sense and is just a lame story-telling device.

even though you are ripping that off from EW, I agree. it's also rather annoying that all the plot twists so far - large and small - have been pretty obvious. Last year, I was surprised more than a few times. This year, it's like I'm 20 minutes (or more) ahead of the writers. and I'm not that smart.

I knew there was something "wrong" about Kristen Bell.
she's a Red Wings fan.

There is nothing wrong with Kristen Bell. There is simply everything right with her. That's what's throwing you off, DD. As I have mentioned before, the similarities between me and the lovely Ms. Bell are uncanny. Quote:
If I wasn't already married, I am sure our nuptials would be a complete no-brainer for her. I could see it now, me proposing to her at a Wings game on the Jumbotron. ROMANTIC!

I like this season myself. The first few episodes was to set things up. Without them, the fun plague stuff, that's going to probably be the big bad massive thing won't be adequately explained. And it seems in the previews for next week that Sylar wants Alejandro's power to take the black stuff away from Maya.
The "Nightmare Man" was awesome. And perfectly done. And now Parkman realizes he can do the same thing, with practice.... but he'll probably use it to imprision his father for good. Though I'm not sure that he's the (only) one knocking off the rest of the original heroes... after all, Ando saw the guy knock off Kaito off the roof... unless Ando was in the nightmare as well (though SOMEONE would have had to push Kaito off). It seems like Noah and the Haitian are in Russia, doing who knows what. Electromagnetic girl (ie, Bell's character) seems to be very interesting (and perhaps has met Peter, hence him shooting bolts)... though i'm seeing a plastic prison in her future (paging Magneto's jail in X-Men movie?).

A nice episode tonight, with Noah acting all shades of grey again, to get what he needs to protect his family.
Sylar trying to corrupt Maya and Peter going to a future where a virulent strain has cleared out most of the world... though I'm not sure if it is because of Maya or the Company's experiments on the virus. Claire is also being slowly corrupted by West (is he working for the Company?). Bob seemingly gives into Mohinder and lets the muscle mimic keep her powers (or was that a ruse?) and gives her Niki as a partner to "make sure there are no more misunderstandings" (sounds omnious). And Hiro is really messing up with time as a betrayed Kensei decides to turn over everyone to White Beard instead.

Oh, and HRG was excellent as well. He threatened to take away the dead daughter's memories and then killed the guy. Ruthless, I tell you.

Dola - FINALLY! An episode with some substance - cheerleader aside that is.
Great story with HRG including help from the Haitian and the nice finish to the interrogation, a nice twist in the dreadful Hiro storyline, and some mystery surrounding Peter that doesn't involve the weak amnesia angle. And hooray for putting a puzzle together to figure out with the paintings, but it would have been nice if it weren't basically a rehash of last year. As for Claire getting back at the lead cheerleader, my wife asked me if we were watching Heroes or Saved by the Bell. Saved by the Bell was never that lame. |

I agree. A decent episode, especially the HRG stuff. Those scenes were great.
I find the Hiro stuff painfully dull and I was happy there was little of Peter and Irish Lass. Certainly an interesting development with Clair and this was by far the best episode of the X-Files Black Oil Twins and Sylar.

Yep, exactly. Claire, who really was the good girl in the series, is now headed down a more sinister path. She was upset afterwards with West about it, but I think she'll find it easier to do. And West seems to be a big proponent of using your powers where it'll benefit you the most. I'm not sure if he isn't working for the Company, but it makes Claire into a more interesting character in the future.

Just watched the last episode shown, and I enjoyed it again.
I am wondering who this Adam guy is that Bob had a file of, and then had a message waiting for Peter in Montreal talking about the company. Still a bit of confusion about who is the real bad guy here once again. The Company, Parkman's father (who could be part of the Co.), or Sylar, or ppossibly this Adam guy. I also wait to see what happens with the Sylar storyline, since the actor will be leaving the show for a while to go play Spock in November.

I figured that Kensai was Adam in the middle of the episode (after all, he's English... Takezo Kensai can't be his real name). I was hoping they'd drag out the 'surprise' longer. But it should be interesting to see what Adam wants to do with Peter.
And find out everything that happened between the season finale and the this season's premiere.

i think Adam wants Peter to be able to go back in time and get back at Hiro again in old Japan. also, i think Adam murdered Hiro's father - he pushed himself and Hiro's father off a building and used his healing powers to survive the fall.

Hiro being in Japan for so long isn't a complaint anymore, IMO... especially since now we know that it really was to develop the character of Kensai/Adam. Of course, at the time, we had no idea.
