The second season premiere of Heroes didn’t disappoint. Great set-up and teases. Welcome back, my friend.
We got a bunch of new faces. We meet Honduran twins Maya and Alejandro who are running to America. When they are separated, the people around Maya die. But it’s not clear how. It seems her power doesn’t work, or she can't control it, when her brother is around.
There’s a new Company guy named Ned Ryerson. Or at least that’s what I’m calling him after his character in Groundhog Day. ("Phil? Phil Connors?") He wants to work with Mohinder (who’s infiltrating the Company for Bennet), and he can turn stuff to gold. Now there’s a power I can get behind.
Our last new hero is another flyer – Claire’s new bf in Cali.
R.I.P. Sulu. Someone from the older group of heroes is threatening (and killing) the rest of them. Mama Petrelli is next on the list. (Incidentally, this is pretty much the plot of the graphic novel Watchmen.)
The Bennet family has relocated to California, where Mr. Bennet is a humiliated Copy Kingdom worker. So sad. But he ultimately threatens his younger Manager and things are looking up for him. The dinner table scene was pretty funny.
Matt is now NYPD, and a good one too! He’s playing My Two Dads with Molly and Mohinder. That’s pretty hysterical – the concept of all of them living together as a family. I wonder if the teachers at school think Matt and Mohinder are a gay couple. Matt is definitely a bear.
As for those Petrelli boys, Nathan’s walking around like Ron Burgundy after he was fired ("Milk was a bad choice!") and Peter’s in a box. Yes, he is literally the man in the box – some cargo container on a ship – and he doesn’t know who he is.
Great set-up; can’t wait for the rest of the season!
