"Heroes"- Season Two

NBC’s hit, “Heroes”, premiered it’s second season Monday night. And it delivered exactly as promised. There was a twist at the end that I actually saw coming because of the previews from the last week’s recap of season One’s finale. True Heroes fans will know what I’m talking about.

I’m disappointed in their Boogie man, though. His entrance was a little too much like Sylar’s last season. I wish they wouldn’t have shown him (to be fair, her) in the hoody. I think it would have been more interesting to just seen Hiro’s father fall or maybe just the back of a dark figure take him over the side. I also didn’t like the symbol on the picture. I recognized that it was similar to Kensei’s crest, but it was a little cheezy on the pictures.

This season was hyped to be a completely new start for our heroes, with no residual left from last season. During the summer there was a marathon wherein the NBC announcer man kept assuring new viewers: “If you missed the first season of Heroes, don’t worry. Season two is a whole new beginning.” It took me a little while to get used to that idea (I readily admit to being a soap opera fan). Then the finale picked up where the old left off, well, I was a little disappointed. They did do a good job of wrapping some things up, though. I liked that. Also, I was intrigued by Maya and her brother. I’m sure someone is going to try to recruit poor Maya.

What is going on with Hiro in medieval Japan? It’s almost like it’s a whole other show, trapped inside a show. I love Hiro and Ando and want for them to be doing there thing together. I think, though, finding out his hero isn’t really a hero is going to toughen Hiro up. Make him stronger. Maybe he’ll even go back and save his father. I can’t imagine Hiro just letting him go over the edge like that. That’s one of my predictions for this season.

How many people think Mohinder is going to go bad? I think he’s going to pick up where Claire’s father left off, trying to control the heroes. I don’t think I like the idea of Mohinder trying to control them, especially since his father lost his life trying to help them. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn’t go over to the “dark” side and leaves our heroes alone. Yeah, right. Where would the drama be then?

Of course, I can’t wait until next week. I’ll have to catch it on NBC.com, though. I have class until 10 Mondays. Argh! I missed this week because I wasn’t feeling well enough to go in. It was nice lying on the couch watching season premiers (”Journeyman” looks promising, but I’m not going to get attached yet). Next week I’ll have to catch it Tuesday morning. Hopefully I can avoid the spoilers until then.
