I'm trying to avoid spoilers, so I haven't read any summaries of the Heroes premiere (TWO MORE MONTHS ARGHAK:DKFJOI;EWFN). But from the general reactions I've seen on my f-list, that pretty much seems to be most people's feeling about 3x01: definitely promising, but not so mind-blowing that it makes up for season 2 all by itself. Which is okay by me. Unless it was an unexpected random musical episode or something, one ep alone isn't going to fix the fail season 2 left behind. As long as things are generally looking up and it it seems like it could shape up to have some strong, interesting character arcs, I'll feel better about being cautiously optimistic for season 3.
Glad you had fun at Comic Con! Even if it made you a zombie. ;)
I was actually dragging my feet somewhat about the Heroes panel, because I was afraid I would see the episode, think it SUCKED, and completely stop caring about the show. So the mere fact that I (mostly) didn't want to throw things at the screen, left me feeling happy

Yeah, the writers/directors have to share the blame for the Maya-dislike, but she's the only one who had to come out on stage. I need to just keep my mouth shut right now because the other things I want to say about her (and Mohinder) wind up being spoilery, so I need to keep them out of here. But I do feel bad for Dania, as a person. At least her character didn't get booed. But if the actors were watching backstage, they had to have noticed that there was absolutely no cheering/clapping till another actor entered the scene.
You can tell me, I already know the thing. I want to know if I was spot on on about the forced who know what because the writers are hopeless when it comes to that thing. I hope I am not being too vague. Good thing they never showed that intimate moment from the promo then, if the reaction was that negative from just having Maya onscreen.
If it left you feeling happy overall rather than disappointed, that's at least a step up. Like you said, hopefully things will shape up within the first few episodes, hit their stride, and reach that balance of interesting plot and compelling, believable character development that it really, really desperately needs to find again. (Which is why I'm so confused by what bare little I've heard about Mohinder's storyline. Unless they're going to twist it around into something very unexpected, it seems like exactly the sort of thing they should have ditched if they were learning from the mistakes of season 2.)
I REALLY hope they'll lay off the stupid stick this season. If a character needs to lose 50 IQ points for a plot point to work, then it's a bad plot point to begin with.
Poor Dania. She seems like a lovely lady, and it's a shame she's stuck playing such a massively unpopular character (who's only going to get more unpopular, judging from that itty bitty little clip in the promo trailer a few weeks ago). Hopefully Maya will get a
