Seriously, "Lizards"?

It makes my sinus headache worse just thinking about it. Haha!

Nice write up Pete, as always!

Like you I had mixed feelings about this episode, but as always, by the end I'm chomping at the bit for next week's installemnt. The thing that's annoying me most at the moment is the pacing. I thought now the show is a worldwide phenomenon they could dispense with the endless baiting to keep people coming back and really get into developing the series. When I think back tho the first season a lot of stuff happened but in terms of overall plot development we didn't learn all that much. Sure we met a lot of characters and their lives inevitably became intertwined, but it was all sort of by the numbers stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm a sucker for this show, I just want it to be more, more ,MORE!.

I completely agree with Maya and her bro becoming a major waste of time. Obviously thier powers will become an integral part of the story but why make them such a bore? It just feels like they are sucking up valuable [insert favourite hero here] ass kicking time. Seriously, give us a reason for them being there and soon so we can become invested in the characters or get rid of them.

You're usually pretty good with your predictions but I'm not sold on the killer being nathan/Candace as you put it. Obviously the killer (is it just one?) has 7 or whatever poeple to off and of those isn't mamma petrelli the only one nathan knows? I can't remember if Nathan met Hiro's dad in the first season. Candace can make anyone see anything at all so she doesn't really need to assume the form of someone they know just to get close enough to kill them and last season she showed a compassionate side (I still think in her true form she's a minger). Why be mopy old nathan and grow a dirty beard, deal with family issues and wallow at a bar with your hot daughter on the phone? I think this season she'll turn out fighting for good. But...... I'm probably wrong.

Hiro Horn Rim Haitan Uber Peter Ando's hair = Awesomecake

Looking forward to next week

Oh and great TV round up BTW. Dexter rules.

Thanks for the comment, Tron!

As we saw in the graphic novel, Candace had kind of a rough adolescence, and came out of it basically assuming that all people are superficial. Linderman gave her a job, a purpose, a life. The show almost made it seem like she considered him a father figure.

So, one could assume that when Linderman died, Candace spiraled down and probably began working for the new villain this season (who I really want to see already). Having worked so closely with Linderman, Candace would no doubt know every one of the original group, and all of the current Heroes. I'm working off of the assumption that Candace is helping the "big bad" this season to get her own revenge as well. Maybe Nathan wasn't wallowing in the bar because of his predicament. Maybe Candace, looking like Nathan, was wallowing in the bar because of her predicament.

Then again, Candace may not even play a part in this season. I'm only going on this assumption because it seems like the woman Sylar is talking to in the sneak previews has the ability to change the environment around them.

Maybe the new villian has everyone's power too, like Peter. That would be a showdown.

Hmmmm.. methinks I should get a hold of the graphic novels, but not sure if you can get them here in OZ. What you described certainly lends more weight to the candice theory. I don't get the sneak peaks either since I get my eps from suckling on the sweet teet that is bit torrent and they end bang on the credits.

I can only hope that if there is another mega showdown between uber powerful characters it doesn't underwhelm like last seasons 'behind closed doors because we can't afford the CG' sylar v peter battle.

Pete is not TrOn. Although, I'm relatively sure that if they were to meet, they would become heterosexual life partners. Come to think of it, weren't we thinking about moving to Australia?

@Kittyfarts.

Haha. Can't a man enjoy another man's TV reviews?

I came across this site last year from digg and Pete's writing is by far the most interesting, funny and insightful. Plus I'm a designer and it's a pretty damn nice Joomla site.

As long as you don't mind hot weather, nice people and beautiful beaches, a move to Australia wouldn't be one to regret ;-)

Thanks for the comments, Tr0n and kittyfarts!

@kittyfarts: That is a great name. I chuckle every time I see it. And sorry to dissapoint you, but there's only one man out there worthy of my hetero life-partnership. That man is the baby Jesus.

Kidding!

@Tr0n: Thank you for the kind compliments and I'm glad you like the site. I've spent a lot of time working on it, and hopefully it's constantly improving.

(I've been meaning to send out a newsletter with instructions, but premiere week has been busier than I thought it would be. That, and I'm lazy.)

Entertaining review as usual! I really wish I hadn't read the spoiler section because you are probably right and I wish I would have seen that coming! I'm at odds with a lot of the fanbase because I like Nathan's character and while I thought keeping him alive negated the sacrifice he made for Peter/New York, I was happy to know that one day, he and Peter might be able to kick some ass together. I've never been too bothered by Mohinder or Parkman and this season has some promise for them. As for Nikki and Paulo, I mean Alejandro and Maya, meh.
