So I was going to sit down and type out from all my notes of the two hours what I thought of the episode, but while I liked it on the whole I still have the general feelings of well that sucked can It get better? left over from last season.
Some shows like Merlin for example I watch knowing the effect arn't the best and sometimes it is just laughable, but I still ship the hell out of it and enjoy it like crazy and care about the characters and the eycandy and the story. Other shows like all the random cake decorating shows I watch because I am in awe of what they can do with food. Other shows I watch for the lulz like Top Model, Gossip Girl, and Vampire Diaries (and in the case of the last two eye candy) Then there are the shows like Lost I watch for the characters and the story. Glee falls in this as well (along with eye candy. These are the shows I talk about the most. Heroes was in that category, but after last season and the bringing back of Ali Larter again, the disappearances of Micah Monica, and MOLLY, the weirdness of the Bennet storyline, I found myself not really caring.
This episode seemed promising so just in case it turns into one of those shows here are some base thought.
Hiro's storyline seems like i could either hate it or like it. I kind of wish that the whole Dial a Hero thing worked, because seriously it would bring more Bar Graph's Never Lie lines and make my life. But him fixing past mistakes is kind of like what happened with Charlie and we know how that ended up- she got reincarnated into a obsessive compulsive neat freak who rambles adorably she had to die anyways. I hope Hiro gets a Isaac style meaningful death though.
Claire and HRG seem more of the same old same old. He goes on missions, she sucks at hiding/ telling the truthish/ being normal. Gretchen SCARES ME. Annie annoyed the heck out of me but she didn't make me fear for my life.
Tracy is likeable now that HRG got to her. That was a weird/ hard sentence to type.
I like this Peter. I wish he wasn't such a workaholic and didn't think he had to go to Boston for food. It reminds me of season 1 save the word Peter.
Nathan/Sylar/Matt. I don't know WTF is going on with that. I'll give it time. Although I'm pissed its messing with Matt's life.
What is up with the Carnies? And seriously we need more Characters in this show. What about Micah, Monica, Mohinder and MOLLY? The villan dude seems like a good villain and its nice for it to not just be Sylar.
I know some of my friends love this show and I know I seem fusterated. I haven't jumped ship I just want to be surprised again and I miss season 1. Those clips and the start killed me.
