Heroes Episode 2

I was not as impressed with this episode as the first. Seemed like it really dragged its heels on this one, only introducing 1 new character into the mix Matt Parkman, played by Greg Grunberg of Alias. He has the awesome ability to read other peoples thoughts. Of course this immediately gets him into trouble and arrested for a murder as he knows too much.

When they killed off the artist, Isaac Mendez, I was totally bumbed as he was my favorite. Imagine having to take heroine for your superpower to work. Ouch!! From my champion playing days, thats a pretty huge disadvantage. But then when the teleporter, Hiro Nakamura, found out he actually teleported 5 weeks into the future, he was able to take himself back that 5 weeks, just as the Nuclear bomb goes off.

So I'm guessing they have 5 weeks to stop the murder of Isaac and save New York from being Nuked.

And the bad guy seems to be the dad of the indestructable cheerleader, Claire Bennet. This should lead to some very interesting story lines.

But the Mom & son duo, Niki & Micah Sanders has got to be the weirdest ones. Her power of the mirror alternate persona. Not sure exactly what happens, but it seems she blacks out and the alter ego takes over. Sounds like a Hulk thing or maybe Dr.Jekyl & Mr. Hyde.

Anyway, still a ton of fun to watch. I hope you guys are tapping into this show as well. Its great so far.
