Yes! I'm so glad this show is back on! I need me my Heroes fix each week! The only bad thing about the show is that there's so much going on during each episode and so many intertwining storylines that it's hard to keep up with every bit.
HIRO
My favorite hero, Hiro, once again had the most giggles from me tonight. He's still in 1671 Japan trying to make the legend of Takezo Kensei come true.When the "real" impostor of a hero swordsman got too drunk, Hiro donned his armor and used his powers to fight off the attackers and to save the fair maiden -- the swordsmith's beautiful daughter.
In the end, he returned to Kensei and apparently taught him the error of his ways as he could have said fair maiden. Hiro tried to secure the promise that he wouldn't drink anymore, but Kensei wouldn't quite go that far. But when Kensei decided to do right, he ended up getting shot by arrows ... and miraculously recovered. Hmmm...
MAYA AND ALEJANDRO
These new characters are still trying to get to America and we saw more of Maya's powers.They stopped over at a home where a woman named Nidia was going to send others with them to make it from Guatemala to Mexico. While there, the woman saw something "black" and evil inside of Maya and called her the devil.
As they went through a tunnel, Maya panicked when separated from Alejandro. Her eyes began dripping blood and she seemingly killed the woman who was escorting her. Yikes! But then we found out that Alejandro can make it stop and also seems to be able to reverse the effect if he gets there soon enough. The "dead" woman recovered, called Maya the devil and ran away. Um, okay.
THE BENNETS (BUTLERS) IN CALIFORNIA
Claire is still having trouble assimilating in school. Her class is studying lizards and regeneration which perks her interest. She asks a few too many questions making her teacher think she's just a very interested student, but definitely catching the attention of West -- a fellow student with special powers.
When her car gets stolen, she stops by the Copy Kingdom, her father's new workplace. While there, she kept pushing him because she wants to know her limits. "Perhaps I can help people with my powers!" Noah told her that the folks after them would push her limits until she had no limits left and they must keep it all a secret.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Bennet insists they have no secrets. So, Noah shows her Isaac's work that he has. He told her that Isaac painted the future and that it was a set of eight -- he needed seven more.
By the end of the episode, she cuts off her toe to see if it will regenerate. And, it does. Oh, but who's peeking in the window at her? West! She ran outside with Mr. Muggles who kept looking and jumping up -- West must be hovering overhead, I think.
Once there, the patient turned out to be the Haitian. I always liked the Haitian. Although he resisted at first, he took the cure. Now, the boss thinks that the Haitian, once cured, used his powers to eliminate Mohinder's memory and escaped. In reality, the Haitian showed up at Copy Kingdom to join Noah Bennet and Mohinder knows all about it.
Hiro's father (Lt. Sulu - er - George Takei) did indeed die in the fall from the roof with his assailant. But the assailant's body vanished.
Ando identified Mrs. Petrelli as having a fight with Kito before the assailant arrived. So, good ol' new Detective Parkman and his partner pulled her in for questioning. He eavesdropped her thoughts, but she caught him -- "Get out of my mind!"
When left alone in the interrogation room, she freaked out. They busted in to save her, finding her cowering against the wall. Upon seeing the picture she had, they asked the symbol. She said it was her husband's law firm logo. Ando said the symbol meant "great ability, godsend."
She asked for Nathan, making Parkman think that they weren't estranged. Nathan told him that he was the only one she could ask for help now. They all think Peter is dead.
... is alive and kind of sort of well in Cork, Ireland. The thugs still think he stole the shipment of iPods and try to beat him for information.
The sister of the chief thug, Kaitlyn, tried to help attend to his wounds only to find they healed perfectly as if they had never happened. So we know he retains his Sylar spark throw people power, as well as Claire's powers of healing.
He has no memory of anything prior to being found in the trailer, though. At least he no longer has that silly haircut. When Kaitlyn asked him about the necklace with the symbol, he didn't know what it was.
The iPod theft was supposed to go to someone named McSorley. Well, his brother tried to assault Kaitlyn and Peter used his powers to save her. That didn't make her brother forgive him, though. He taunted Peter with a box which he said was everything he had with him when they found him, but only let Peter know his first name. If Peter wants the box, he has to make up the theft by working with them on a new caper.
Oh, I have so many questions! What's in the box? Mr. Muggles knows West is up high, why doesn't Claire yell at him? How did Kensei live after the arrow attack? How will Hiro get back to his own time? Exactly what company is Mohinder working for -- could it be the same one who employed Bennet?

MOHINDER SURESH, THE NEW JOB, AND THE HAITIAN IS BACK
Mohinder's new boss at the Hartsdale (NY) office (hey, I used to work in Hartsdale, NY!) sent him to Haiti to cure a "special" person who seemed to have caught the virus. Mohinder's own blood seems to be the only cure.Once there, the patient turned out to be the Haitian. I always liked the Haitian. Although he resisted at first, he took the cure. Now, the boss thinks that the Haitian, once cured, used his powers to eliminate Mohinder's memory and escaped.

WOW, good job, Jackie. You are right, each episode is packed full of scenes. I particularly liked the way they went from Japanese to Spanish to French with subtitles last night....ya gotta pay attention.
I believe in the last episode we were led to believe that it's the same company...the man who turned the spoon into gold approached Mohinder, who in turn called Claire's father, who was really pleased that Mohinder was able to fool the guy into thinking he'll work for them. The spin was a bit different, that there's that virus out there, and that the company wants to fund Mohihinder to research it..but they left us with a sinister feel...like the company doesn't want to SAVE the heros.
What was that song the brother sang to Maya? Was it a Spanish lullaby? He took those black tears into his eyes, and reversed death.
Ah, the power of twins.
That toe thing was disgusting. Cool, but disgusting!
Hey Mrs T. Long time no hear from! I agree with you totally! Lol. I had to look away when she snipped it, on ly to turn back as it flew into the air! Gotta give it to them, it was very realistic.
The guy looking in her window is starting to creep me out though. Lurker!
Reaper is on tonight and even though it's on opposite DWTS I urge everyone to tape it. It's really one of the best new shows this season.
Also tomorrow night Life is on at 10 p.m. which is opposite Gray's or Private Practice. I can't remember. Again, this is a good show and you should give it a chance. Break out those VCR's. Also, if you miss it you can catch it again at 11 p.m. on USA Sunday nights. As this is my second favorite.
I like Journeyman and I hope it will get better. It seems to have a lot of potential.
I've decided to rank my favorite new shows.
1. Reaper Funny and droll.
2. Life If it stays on it's going to be great. Well written.
3. Dirty Sexy Money Love the crazy rich people.
4. Chuck I have a soft spot for geeks.
5. Bionic Woman Maybe. I think it has a lot of potential but whether or not it reaches that potential...Who knows? Have to wait and see
Looking forward to Pushing Daisies and The World's Most Smartest Model.

Just put a comment on the DWTS site concerning the death of Jane Seymour's mother this AM. She will not be on the results show tonight.
I love Heroes and I am soooo happy its back on. Now how do you think Peter and Sylar got to where they are now? Neither one seems to remember anything....I can't wait to they start telling that story. And to find out who is behind the killings of the older Heroes.
Jackie, I guess I do miss a lot when I watch. Great job with the blog. Do you do anything for TV Squad about Heroes?

JC - Heroes was already filled when I came aboard TV Squad. The only two shows I cover there are Survivor and Kid Nation although I also write non-review posts on other TV stuff.
