At this point, Dania would be better off doing something else that will make her popular.
I actually had that same thought: she doesn't want to become known as the actress who played that annoying character who TPTB kept shoving down our throats even though we didn't like her.
Sylar was totally back in S1 form. I want him to evolve beyond that, but after disliking him most of S2, it was just so refreshing to see him back. His personality reminded me of the way he was when he killed Isaac: calm and cruel and subtly snarky, and I couldn't help bouncing up and down with excitement while watching him. (And it didn't hurt that his appearance was completely totally unexpected - I expected to see him in the ep, but I never in a million years would have thought he'd appear when and where he did.) And as for the others: Hiro/Ando are hilarious again, I'm kind of WTF?!? with the Petrelli family stuff but it's ANGELA MOTHERFRAKKING PETRELLI, Claire made me hopeful that she might actually be mature and think about something besides her whiny cheerleader crap... So yeah, I'm definitely more optimistic about the show than I was before. And although I'm not happy with the initial presentation of Mo, I'm willing to grit my teeth and hope it comes to a decent and swift conclusion.
Also, we ended with a Moyawnder voiceover, so hopefully the rumors of its demise were not true. Oh! And I almost forgot the third most awesome moment of the episode, behind the awesomeness of Sylar's appearance and a moment that I cannot tell you about at all: when Mr Muggles first appeared on screen, half the audience went, "Ooooo...Mr. Muggles! Mr. Muggles!" It was GREAT.
(...though in retrospect, this means that Mr. Muggles got more love from the audience than Maya did. Poor Dania...)
Oh god, now I'm smiling SO MUCH that you're saying Hiro and Ando are back in form, because they were definitely among my most favorite things about season one, and one of the reasons I fell in love with the show. God, that feels so long ago (their couple of scenes in season two did not count at all). They are silly and goofy and I get why some people find them annoying, but I just can't. Ando's reactions to Hiro were what really grounded the show in reality for me, and I loved it. Really, I'm grinning.
I, too, wish I could read your review, which I'm sure will be brilliant. I'll try to remember to come back and read it after the episode airs.
You have no idea how badly I want to tell you Hiro's storyline, because when you get to see the dialogue, you're going to be unable to stop giggling... :0)
I'll probably link back to my initial review later on. That's one reason why I want to post it now: I want to be able to compare my opinion after the second viewing, especially if they tweak things.
