The One Four Months Later...

[taylorkingston · 9/10 · 9 May 2015]

I really love this episode. It's a great season-opener and it just a really fun episode.

In this episode, it has now been four months since the events at Kirby Plaza. Claire and her family have moved from Odessa to Costa Verde, California. She has to keep a low profile at her new school, but finds it hard when a mean cheerleader says something she shouldn't have. Meanwhile, Hiro finds himself in 17th Century Japan and he meets his favorite hero, Takenzo Sensei. But it turns out he's not the man Hiro thought. Matt and Mohinder are now Molly's guardians and are taking care of her. We meet two new characters, Maya and Alejandro who are wanted for murder and are trying to escape into the United States. And at the end, we finally see Peter, who is in Ireland, but he doesn't know why or who he is.

Overall, I give this episode a 9 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Amazing.

The possibilities are endless

This excellent show continues the storytelling that it began with at a perfect pace with an all-star cast crew, easily making it the best show on television. But to comment on the story itself, one major possibility is that Hiro not only caused that village to be raided but ends up taking the role of Kensei and leading the group of individuals that becomes both the company and his father's group...possibly even being the reason why people use to word "hero" in that context. The story lines of Niki/Jessica, D.L. and Micah were missed from the season premiere, causing many people to wonder what they are going to do with that storyline. The ending was superb and I cannot wait to tune in next week.

Four Monts Later is an awesome start for new season of "Heroes"

As Mohinder is lecturing, a bald figure wearing glasses watches. Afterwards, he gets an autograph from Mohinder who threatens him when asked about his sister. Seems he wants to form a new organization with him. In Honduras, grown brother and sister are running. They later take a ride on a caravan that doesn't turn out well. In California, Claire and father Noah (formerly HRG) start a new life as Claire enters eleventh grade. She almost gets hit by an SUV driven by a boy she later befriends. In New York, Ando and Hiro's father find on a picture of father a symbol that tells him he has 24 hours to live. Mrs. Petrelli finds same on her picture as she and Hiro's father confront each other. Her son Nathan, now drinking and unshaven, mourns the loss of brother Peter. When Hiro is dropped in Japan in 1671, he manages to stop arrows in mid-air from killing him. He then finds out his hero (David Anders, formerly Sark from "Alias") is from England, fights for money-not honor, and lets a village burn while drinking. After an awkward dinner, Noah takes a call from Mohinder who tells him that the plan with his old building is set up. Matt Parkman, who's just been made detective, is now divorced and living in Mohinder's old apartment with Molly, who's now having recurring nightmares about someone. After Claire calls bio-father Nathan who says he can't help her, the boy she met at school is revealed floating at her window before he flies away! On the rooftop of the building Hiro's father stands, an unknown assailant with sword confronts him as the two fall off just as Ando runs toward them with a sword he was to give the father. He screams as he finds the dead bodies down below. We're then in Ireland where three men open a storage space with someone chained inside. It's Peter! As they get closer to him, he manages to strike them back with a lightning-like speed! As the episode ends, we find he doesn't know who he is...What an awesome way to start the new season! Everything's intriguing here and so far there's no dead spots. I do wonder where Micah, DL, and Niki/Jessica are but we'll probably find out next week. Speaking of which, in the previews of such, we see Sylar is back. Should make another fun season of "Heroes" indeed! Until next time...

Oh dear me! Why????

I admit it - I was compelled to watch the first season more out of curiosity rather than being a real fan of this genre. Like most people, the cliffhanger endings are hard to resist even though you know you're being crassly manipulated to continue to watch what is effectively a sub-standard show.

And..... accordingly I was inclined to watch the first installment of the new season.

And..... it was rubbish. Only this time, the cliffhanger involved some of the worst paddy-whackery since Tom Cruise said "Roight ye are boss" and "Top of the mournin' to ye" in "Far and Away". For God's sake, there are so many Irish actors out there, even those have been born in the UK or the US that can at least provide some level of authenticity, what is the point in this shameful parody? After all, they made such an effort with the Japanese aspects throughout the series! I'll have to sulk now for a while...

absolutely pointless

[alexlee106 · 4/10 · 23 August 2008]

wot a waste of time, absolutely pointless, boring, could ave watched paint dry. wot was the point showing an uneventful and pointless story line after a relatively good 1st series. if this had been the pilot nobody would ave bloody watched another episode.

The first 90% of the episode is full of NOTHING, i could watch some granny's walking down the street and it would be more interesting. the last couple of minutes is slightly amusing, but by this point i cant be bothered, the last couple of minutes are obviously only shown to get more viewing figures to next episode.

seriously no point watching this awfully dull, predictable dialogue, would ave been better to read the plot!!!!

Subtitles, sheesh!

[Phylum22 · 4/10 · 30 August 2017]

We had to put up with Hiro's subtitles all through season one. Now in the second series, another lot!

Sorry, I do not care a jot about Maya and her brother! Go away and get back the the characters we love.

I am now, watching this on Amazon some years after it first came out, but am fast forwarding through A: Subtitles and B: Anything to do with Maya and her brother....yawn!

Who in their right mind thought subtitles were cool in such a huge quantity?
