Heroes - Chapter 27 - The Kindness of Strangers

** SPOILERS **

HEROES IS BACK. Crap, I think I just peed in my pants.

This was a very DARK episode. Everything about it was gloom and doom (leave for Micah's cousin in New Orleans -- but that was still bad because of the Hurricane Katrina tie-in.) Man, it felt like everything was just so hopeless. The bad guys are going to win -- and we don't even know who they are.

I have to say when Maya and Alejandro came across Sylar on the road, I was just screaming, no, no, no, no, no. This is horrible. (And awesome). An excellent plot twist. Sylar cannot eat Maya's brains. It was just too much for me.

And then Matt's dad being the Nightmare Man, and then what happened to Molly. My heart sank.

Meanwhile, Claire's love affair is just annoying -- and we just know that is not going to go down well. I think it's a consensus that West is creeping out everyone who watches Heroes.

I hate to say it, but the first episode without Hiro Nakamura turned out to be the best one so far this season. That Japan thing was really derailing things on hindsight. If we had some sort of direct connection to the present it would be better.

We didn't have Peter Petrelli, but we still got teen pictures -- so the show still gave us Milo Ventimiglia love.

Next week: Kristen Bell. I'm so psyched.

I love this show! (Even if it scared the bejezuz out of me tonight).
