Heroes S3 episode 1: my review of the preview
I saw the first episode of Heroes season 3 yesterday at Comic Con, and...I’m cautiously optimistic. There was promise and there was also heart-sinking unpleasantness. I’ll explain why below the cut, but I will say one non-spoilery thing: smooth, calculating, unstoppable S1 Sylar is back. And right at this moment, that’s all I needed.

As for Maya, I can only buy a physical relationship between those two if Mohinder is trying to keep Maya close to him because he's lost everything and he needs more of her blood to keep the serum. I want the lines to be blurred between him doing the right thing for them both and him selfishly not wanting to be alone in this mess and wanting to continue or otherwise, there is no point to his story line or her involvement in his at all. I can see Maya sticking around out of gratitide and guilt for bringing Sylar around, and not having anyone else to turn to. If Mohinder does get obsessed with wanting to use the serum, I would have a huge amount of respect if she breaks away from Mohinder and enlists other Heroes that haven't given up on Mohinder completely to help or stop him, if the Company doesn't get to her first.
I'm not happy with how clumsily they have handled Mohinder's story line or Maya's involvement in it, I mean she's been through a lot, but if they can even show some of what I mentioned here, it can make the power thing interesting in my eyes. I give them 5 eps max and no more to go somewhere along the lines of what I said here and if not, I will write them a letter for fucking up Mohinder and Maya. Like you said, cautiously optimistic, I'm on board but not convinced I'll be totally in love like I was the first season.
