Season 2 Episode 2
This show suffers from a problem that faces many fantasy/sci-fi novels. Books like the Wishsong of Shannara, Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time (after book 3) and a host of others, introduce way too many characters and what happens is the author is forced to follow different storylines. When I was younger I would read faster just so I could get to the storylines and characters that I enjoyed. Too many competing storylines is a bad thing sometimes.
Heroes got into trouble with that last year. This episode, even though lots happened, was quite slow, because it advanced the plots of so many different characters in small increments.
We were left wanting to see more Peter (his powers are kick ass now) and more Hiro (I was so made when I thought they were getting rid of Sark... Alias reference).
Claire is cool, but I think the new potential bf is a bit of weirdo. I just don't like the look of him. Plus he seems really stalkerish.
Mohinder... please go away.
I enjoy episodes that focus more on one character. Thank goodness we still haven't seen Jessica/Niki and family. I can't wait to see Sylar.

right on, Rob. i, too, was like "hey you can't kill of Sark!" nice twist. Mohinder is much better than last year. i don't get the twins yet. the stuff coming from her eyes? and the other one can bring people back from the dead? so they are death and life? huh? and as a Veronica Mars fan - when is she going to make her grand debut?
Kristen Bell *sigh* Can't wait for her. She supposedly meets up with Peter in Cork, Ireland. Could care less about the twins. Black ooze from her eyes? That is a silly power. The other one can cancel out the other twin? Not great.
