Heroes, Season 2 Premiere - 6.0

I understand many of Jeremy's complaints regarding the Heroes season premiere and agree with several of them, especially regarding the predictability of this particular episode (I'll also be extremely annoyed if the little girl's nightmare drawings transform into visions of the future ala Isaac's paintings). However, while this episode was somewhat subpar, I do think overall it sets up some interesting storylines for the rest of the season. Unlike Jeremy, I'm still interested in what happened to Peter Petrelli; the new Mexican killer girl could be cool (she will end up being a very sympathetic character imo, and she's hot); and Hiro in feudal Japan is sort of cool (though I'm far from sold, even if they did bring in Sarc from Alias to play the white samurai). And I think potentially the best sign is that it seems they are moving on from having just one or two evil individuals like in season 1 (Sylar, Malcolm Mcdowell, and to a lesser extent the Petrelli mom) to having this broader mysterious organization that Mohindar and Mr. Bennet are now apparently declaring war against. This could certainly backfire but for now, I'm intrigued. Not sure how well everything will end up tying together but at the moment, I'm looking forward to watching Heroes this coming week more than any other show outside of The Office.

The Mexican girl is AJ's girlfriend (Blanca) from Sopranos. I still say this show sucks. Let me know if it gets any better.

wow didn't realize that was the same girl - she looks hotter in Heroes than Sopranos I think...
