HEROES-HYPE.COM

Another good episode, not as strong or as exciting as last weeks, but it was good enough. My favourite parts involved Claire’s story - the whole lizard/regeneration aspect was well done and is quite fascinating really - I like when Heroes uses ’science’. However, the scene with her chopping off her Pinkie was SO made specifically for those trailers and promos!

I also enjoyed seeing more of Peter’s story and his new collection of powers..by my count that’s now FOUR ‘new’ abilities that he’s acquired since 1.23 - ‘Phasing’ from D.L, ‘Super-Strength from Jessica, ‘Telekinesis’ from Sylar and his Ryu/Ken-like ‘Hadoken’ fireball..from..God knows who!?

The episode wasn’t ‘great’ - Hiro’s story is struggling when I compare it to how much it promised back in May - though it was cool to see him masquerade as Kensei and it was neat to see that Kensei does have a power after all - regeneration..or rebirth, take your pick. I’d go for regeneration, since the episode is titled ‘Lizards’.

Yet again there was no Sylar..this is bad..very very bad! Are they trying to tease us or something!? ..Ah well, I suppose it will be worth the wait.

As for stand-out story arc, it simply has to be Maya and Alejandro - by FAR the best and most interesting characters in season 2 thus far!

All in all I’d give this episode a 7/10 ..it just didn’t have that ‘magic’ or promise like last weeks did, but it progressed the story well enough to tide me over til next week.
