HEROES-HYPE.COM

What an opener we had last week - so many clues, so much confusion, but plenty of excitement..and that’s what I’m hoping for tonight!

In particular I hope to find out more about Peter, where he’s been, why he has no memory and the nature of his new “hadoken” ability. That brings me to Nathan - he seems pretty affected by whatever happened up in the sky on that fateful day. I’m guessing that he has some-kind of fractured psyche - an after effect of the explosion fusing with Peter’s powers. Or it could be related to the virus that Mohinder keeps banging on about.Hiro and Kensei’s story really needs to reward the fans, at the moment it’s all a bit quirky but not enough WOW-factor like it promised back in May.Maya and Alejandro’s story is so far very powerful and already I’m invested in their struggle. I mean what an ability to have..and she can’t control it, least not without her twin to counteract what ever force she emits.

Of course everyone is wondering about Sylar..has the bad boy gone good..or like the preview last week suggests, is he as bad and dirty as ever..only with less power? I just can’t wait for the episode to begin to see my favourite Heroes character back in action. After a pitiful encounter with peter at the end of 1.23, he needs to redeem himself somewhat.

So what can the episode title tell us about tonight’s episode? Well ‘Lizards’ are reptiles, cold blooded and hard skinned - not sure this describes any of our Heroes..but perhaps this might lend a clue: Many Lizards can also regenerate lost limbs or tails..um..Claire anyone? Hopefully we’ll also get updated on the rest of the Heroes that we didn’t see last week, like Nikki/Jessica, Micahand all the other newbies. Let’s see where this episode takes us, it needs to live up to last weeks if only because last season episodes 2 through to 6 kinda sucked when you really think about it.

So, get the popcorn, a beer/wine/cola and gather your friends rounds, Heroes episode 2 is on in a few hours! Enjoy and don’t forget we’ll have episode reviews, screencaps and analysis up throughout the week.
