I for one am fascinated by Maya and Alejandro. To me, at least, it didn't seem like he was just cancelling out her powers, it seemed like it was doing him harm in some kind of way. I mean look at his eyes, his face, during the process. Something bad was going on there. I think they will have a huge part in this season, althoguh I'm not quite sure what it is yet.

And the Ms. Petrelli "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!" made me laugh out loud.

Anyone look at the graphic novels? It looks like the Hatian had more time to talk with Suresh then what we've seen...Suresh explained the whole double agent thing, which is why the Hatian went back to Bennet. Pretty cool.

took ep.2 awhile to get interesting, but i think it's building up steam.

but the way the announcer said "the box" in the preview for next week made me laugh out loud. "oh my god! the box that contains Peter's wallet!!1!! it's mystical and crap!"

I thought that too, and that the flying stalker should maybe put a little more distance between himself and her windows.

* The crying-blood-out-the-eyes-girl. Her brother can reverse the effects and bring people back to life. I hope this eventually kills him. Too much of it for him to control or something and he dies. Myabe it's just because I think their side of the story is boring. I didn't like the fact that her 'temporary blood tattoo' vanished. I think it would've been cooler if she actually had blood on her face and they had to wipe it away.

* Hiro's story. I thought there would be two options that they could do. Hiro forgets about the drunk Englishman and becomes the legend that he grew up reading about. I think that option would have been cool since he would be his own hero. The other option would be that Hiro would do all the work (using his powers) and the Englishman would take all the recognition. Now that we know the guy can heal himself, what good is Hiro?

* I'm happy that the Haitian is back with Noah. I liked them from the first season.

I find it odd that Claire's new dude has the same powers as her dad. Creepy.

Maybe you should get HD! They were blood/black tears, which changed to clear (regular) tears. Seems a bit black to me, not sure if it's blood (her blood maybe is black?).

That was hilarious. I mean, Heroes previews have always been way overdramatic to the point of just making stuff up (remember than one where it said we'd find out what "Save the cheerleader, save the world" meant, but we only found out what "Save the cheerleader" meant, which we already knew?), but "THE BOX" takes the cake.

[RAILhead]

Yes, the "blood" turned to tears -- it didn't vanish.

I, for one, am hoping this is a tie-in to the Black Oil form the X-Files, myself.

Wait, HRG can fly?

Nathan Petrelli is Claire's biological dad, not HRG.

[Mithras]

Oh, that dad. Right.

What does HRG stand for?

If I remember right, that's what bennet's unofficial name was when everyone talked about the show before they actually told us his name.

[Randman]

Off-topic. Does that mean that Claire's hyman will grow back every time she does the dirty lizard with flyboy?

[Laminar]

Wow.

...and I was just wondering if her healing powers meant she couldn't die. Obviously we've moved right past that onto the more important things.

[Laminar]

Apparently her body has determined an "ideal" state - 10 toes, in-tact skin, etc., and it appears that it will return the body to that state if it's altered. So that would lead to the assumption that she couldn't age...wrinkles couldn't appear, muscles wouldn't wear out or get old, etc.

And apparently either her power numbs pain or she has an incredibly high threshold...there's a difference between knowing your hand will heal after putting it in boiling water, and shoving it in there as the skin gets scalded, and the same goes with cutting off a toe. Yeah, she winced, but it wasn't in proportion to what she did.

I think it was Tim Kring who said that she feels pain, but there is kind of an upper threshold to how much pain she experiences, so that cracking every bone in her body isn't much worse than, say, twisting her ankle funny.

[Nodnarb]

Interesting... I was wondering what was up with that as well.

Do you remember where you saw that? I'd be interested in reading it.
