Happy to Report Heroes is Still Good

Most of it anyway. Still don't know what's going on with Maya and her brother. They get separated; black stuff leaks from her eyes and those around her; he returns and takes the blacky stuff into himself, which in turn revives the dead person. Mmm-kay.

I guess this season's plot revolves around 1) the virus that is contracted by Heroes and 2) the person murdering/attempting to murder the older-generation Heroes. Bennet has the first in a series of 8 paintings conveniently left behind by Isaac. It shows Sulu dead; can't wait to see what the others are. Were there 8 older-generation Heroes?

I approve 100% of a French-speaking Mohinder. Hawt. The Haitian has contracted the virus, and it ain't AIDS. Mohinder cures him then plays like he erased his memory. The Haitian reunites with Bennet at the copy shop and I applaud. The Dynamic Duo is back, baby!

The New Powerful Peter is excellent - he phased through his ropes, he healed, he had super-strength, and he emitted some kind of electric pulse. Excellent. We get another show with a "What's in the box?" ending, only this time the box allegedly contains information about Peter's identity. He can get it - if he joins the merry crew of thieves. Thieving Peter will be great, I know it.

Claire starts to think outside the box: maybe her healing powers can be used to benefit others. She performs some self-experimentation, cutting off her little toe and watching it grow back. Don't let that perfectly good pinky toe go to waste, Claire - donate it!

Best revelation of the night: Mama Petrelli got her some Sulu action in the past. Hiro could be the 3rd Petrelli Brother!

You are correct, there are 8 more first-generation heroes. Reference episode one where Sulu told Peter's mom that 3 are dead (Charles Deveaux, the black guy Peter was nursing, Linderman, and Peter's dad), "and that leaves 9 of us." Of the remaining 8, we know of potentially 3 at this point, the Haitian, Ned Ryerson, and Claude the invisible guy.
