TV-2008 Season Premiers-Heroes

Well, we waited a lonnnng time for Heroes to re-join the TV family. The writer's strike made season 2 short, and not so memorable. But I tell you, season 3 got off with a bang!

First, the 1 hour premier party was a great way to remind viewers, who was who, and was a great marketing strategy, hitting DVD and websites, and comic books and graphic novels...what a great way to cross promote everything that is Heroes. And you watched anyway, because if whet your appetite for the show.

The two hour premier was some of the best Heroes I have seen. Our favorite characters with some very interesting twists, like, what is up with Nikki? And Maya has gone from pathetic weeper to va va voom hottie. And Mohinder seemed to think so too...that was quite a scene between them. Surprises and tension. Sylar really freakin' me out with Clair's brain...whoa!

The Petrelli seem a bit clueless still, but not as bad as Mohinder. I tell you, for a smart guy, he is just stone cold dumb most of the time.

Hiro is fun and so enthusiastic. I love that his dead father knows he is going to open the safe, so has the second message ready for him. What else. The new speedster chickie seems fun, and her and Hiro's competition seems like it can provide some light moments in a season sure to get darker.

Oh...and poor Matt Parkman. This guy just keeps getting pushed around.

Really good episode. Really looking forward to the next.

Did anyone not like it?
