 HEROES
Kindred
aka: "How to rip off pretty much everything"
by Peter Sorensen
In the third episode of season 2, an enemy from the past returns (c'mon, don't make me spell it out here), Claire and West vie for their very own show on the CW, Peter does more impersonations than a bad YouTube video, and Hiro wonders how to tell people that due to the unfreezing process, he has no inner monologue.
My original episode review this week was tragically eaten by a server database problem, so instead of my usual verbosity, this week I'm going to rocket through the main points and try to limit my ranting to a bare minimum (which is still more than you'd expect).
To start off, ugh.
I don't know if they have been hiring writers out of the Dawson's Creek bullpen or if they've been farming their special effects work out to Indonesian slave children, but for whatever reason this week's episode left a really poor taste in my mouth.

HEROES
Lizards
aka: "Worst episode title ever"
by Peter Sorensen
In the second episode of season 2, Hiro helps history along by playing a more active role in Takezo Kensei's life (literally), Mohinder helps out an old friend, Claire reenacts Reservoir Dogs with her pinky toe, and Peter Petrelli, well... Peter Petrelli makes up for lost time (and lost hair) by kicking large amounts of ass. There is also some taking of names afterwards.
Tonights episode of Heroes really showed off what parts of the show work, and what parts fall flat (I'm looking in your direction Maya and Alejandro).
This is where I would normally praise the show for it's infinite superhero goodness, but honestly I was a little let down by this weeks episode. Thankfully, by the end of the episode, it had totally redeemed itself.

HEROES
Four Months Later
aka: "Don't mess with a man on a coffee break"
by Peter Sorensen
Season Two opens by revealing the fates of our favorite pair of superhero siblings...no, not the Wonder Twins... Nathan and Peter Petrelli. A new threat presents itself, Hiro meets his idol in feudal Japan (surprise! he's a cracker!) and Claire Bennet prances around for long enough to give me a whole new subsection in the "ol' spank bank".
The long wait is finally over. Heroes is back, baby!
The season kicks off with a look at where all of our favorite heroes have ended up. Ando and Hiro's father keep a constant vigil at the plaza where Hiro disappeared, Claire and her father have gone into hiding in California, Parkman and Mohinder have started up their own version of a Paul Reiser sitcom (I'll give you a hint: it's not Mad About You) and Nathan Petrelli is kickin' it Al Gore style with a snazzy new beard and drinking problem.
That's not to say that Al Gore has a drinking problem, but wouldn't he be even cooler if he did?

 Our favorite cheerleader/scalding hot actress Hayden Panattiere turns 18 years old today...
...do we really need to say anything more?
(we would but you probably can't hear us over the deafening sound of every man in the world shouting "Hallelujah!" complete with angels singing and heavenly trumpets blaring)
In honor of sweet, beautiful, buxom Hayden's birthday, we here at BleepingGeek made her a very, very, "special" gift.

 Well, the casting call has begun and we have the scoop on our first new hero!
Dania Ramirez ("The Sopranos") has been added to the cast as Maya, a new hero whose powers are being kept under wraps.
If the name doesn't sound familiar, she played A.J.'s fiance Blanca on this season of the Sopranos, as well as playing Callisto in the vomit-inducing "XMen: The Last Stand". |
