First off it's so nice having the premiere episode be "limited commercial interruption"! Too bad next week we'll be back to 10 min worth of commercials seemingly every 5 min. ah well.

It's too bad that Zach is pretty much no longer in Claire's life anymore, although his "replacement" looks almost like a taller version of him. And whee, he can fly.....seriously could they have at least come up with something different for him? It's stuff like that which makes me like The 4400 a lot more since there were so many different abilities shown in that series.

WTF, Nathan looks like one of the highlanders from WWE RAW, only with hair on his head as well as the beard! o.O That was kinda freaky with that one image he first saw as his reflection.....it does make me wonder just how he survived too...which also makes me bet we'll have an episode of what exactly took place immediately after season 1.

Man, poor Matt keeps having his ups and downs. He finally becomes a detective, but he's already lost his wife....ah well that child she was carrying was prolly the other cops' anyways. Him taking care of Molly is a much better angle, and I hope she gets a lot more screen time this season.

Woot on Noah showing his boss who's REALLY in charge! I loved that moment and was hoping something like that would happen! Oh and a big FUCK YEAH to Noah and Mohinder working together to bring down the company!!!! :)

I'm suspecting that Maya and Alejandro both have abilities, and they each cancel the other out, thus why Maya unintentionally killed that entire wagon full of illegal immigrants. I can't wait to see how this plays out.

Too bad George Takai's (sp?) character had to die :(. I guess it's expensive having him in so many eps though, so they have to find a good reason for him to not be there, and well they found it. Also, did it give a clear shot of whether the assassin that came for him died with him? I couldn't tell. At least Ando's character has developed very well though! I can just see him now taking it up as his personal mission to find out who killed Hiro's father and exact revenge.

Hiro's journey in feudal Japan is kinda interesting, but honestly, after re-watching most of season 1, I didn't really care for Hiro's scenes as much as the other characters and it's the same case here. It's nice, but at the same time I wouldn't have minded if that hadn't even shown him at all.

Claire's struggle for a normal life continues, and it's a nice story for her character. I loved how she intentionally broke her legs after she thought everyone had left too! Seemed to be a reminder of just how different she still was from everyone else.

And of course, as was hinted at online after season 1 had ended, Peter and Sylar are both still alive. It's clear Peter has amnesia, but what of Sylar? Looked like he was taking a vacation at the beach in that preview. Good stuff overall tonight, and the perfect hook for once again grabbing my attention and not letting go till the season is over.

I have a good idea that somehow the haitian got to peter after he exploded. How else would he have wound up in a box, with no memory at all of who he is? And furthermore, he has teh Hatian's necklace around his neck.

Somehow I think mama petrelli still wants that bomb to hit New York.

I was disappointed by that too, but look at the info Crash posted in the OP of this thread. Since we already know this guy is probably in league with the company, maybe they've found a way to artificially give powers that they've seen before. It's possible that they managed to get a sample of Nathan's DNA and replicate his ability. That would make them much more dangerous.

You couldn't tell if he was dead, but there was a second body collapsed on the ground. I highly doubt that the assassin died though. Didn't Takei say that there were only 9 of those extremely powerful guys? He recognized which one he was too. Plus, if this assassin was supposed to be so powerful, I doubt he would just tackle Takei on the edge of a roof without knowing he could survive.

I'm really anxious to find out the specifics of her power. My current theory is that she can unleash localized and fast-acting plagues, which would be really, really awesome.

My take was a bit different. The people were all bleeding from the eye sockets, which suggested to me that they'd perhaps had some kind of hemorrhaging. If she were able to manipulate the heartbeat and blood pressure of everyone around her, she could easily cause cerebral and ocular bleeding.

I don't think her brother is a super. I get the feeling that he's normal and it's merely his reassuring presence that helps Maya calm down enough to control her powers. He is the Ando to her Hiro.

Yeah, that was my idea as well. Internal hemorrhaging sounds more accurate and real.

Also, the fact that it was said that Kensei has a power means that I'm interested in knowing what it is(or unless this has already been said)
