TV : Heroes 03x01 & 03x02

PIC SPAM : Could contain spoilers


I always knew it was someone from the future, but I never guessed it was him.


Who's the new 'speedster'? Kinda' cute.


OMG WTF moment no. 1 . Damn u Sylar!


Luckily she's 'not like the others'. Pheww!


Whoaa! Gratuitious 'ibu jari kaki unta' shot.


Future Ando is kinda' badass. Reminded me of Ken from Street Fighter.


'Super' Mohinder and Maia. NSFW.. and kinda' weird.


'Believe it or not I'm walking on air..' Remember him?
He's The Greatest American Hero.


Is it me or doesn't it feel awkward watching 'family' scenes like this after we all know about the whole Hay-Lo affair?


Caligula's back. Or is he?


I don't know.. every time I see her, Gina Russo from Nip/Tuck always comes up.
And it destroyed everything that is good about her character. Sigh.


One of the dozens of 'villains' that escaped from Level 5.
Sylar was in Level 2, so that make these guys even more sadistic than him.
More about them in future post.


OMG WTF moment no. 2.
Another Petrelli??

My verdict? Based on the action-packed (and quite violence) first 2 episode, it looks like Kring and crew have succeeded in pulling out of their sophomore slump.

The pacing was faster, questions were answered very quickly, the major story arc were introduced within the first 30 minutes of the show compared to 1/2 a dozen episodes during last season and interesting characters were introduced. Simply put - the show looks very good.

Based on the first 2 episode, I couldn't help but noticed that in this season, it's all about Good VS Evil. Heroes VS Villains. Which is very simple but very interesting because if you accept that good people can unwittingly do some evil things in their race to be maverick heroes, you have to also be willing to accept that evil people can sometimes inadvertently do good things as well. In other words, you got to expect the first few episodes to explore just which side each of the characters is really on. Hmmm..

It's the second coming of Heroes. And it looks promising.
