Heroes: Are You on the List?
Heroes is the coolest new show of the year. Tonight Heroes returns at 9:00. NBC has a season recap on line if you want to catch up. The show has been unfolding in such a different way than any other show. Many of the characters have never even met. It's like a bunch of disconnected storylines playing out. Slowly the Heroes are meeting. Claire has met Peter. Peter has met future Hiro. Hiro has met Nathan. Nathan has met Niki. Etc. There's still so much we don't know:
- Who are Claire's real parents?
- Does Mr. Bennet have any powers?
- Why did the Haitian spare Claire of the memory wipe?
- What will happen to Niki in jail?
- Will Peter blow up NY by mimicking the power of radioactive Ted?
- What's with the RNA symbol that keeps reappearing?
- How does Syler steal people's powers by cutting out their brain?
- and the biggest question: What gave the Heroes their powers?
Tonight we are introduced to a new Hero. The biggest hero problem is Jack Bauer on 24 which airs at the same time. Last week's premier was explosively good. Luckily I have two TiVos.
