I still think the problem is that Season 1 went for the whole shebang. I'm talking about an end of the world plot and the characters kind of maxed out their powers too early. What if Hiro didn't have complete use of the time displacement power but could only do a few minutes in season 1 and hours in season 2 and days in season 3, etc.

Ill watch the premiere as apparently its back to form but we'll see if I keep up with it.

I think Mohinder is reaping what he sowed.

I thought it was a rather good premiere, if a bit too chaotic.

At the very least, it made me want to continue watching. I was really frustrated by Heroes last season (as was almost everyone), so that's promising.

Very good premiere. There was way too much going on in the first hour and some parts made absolutely no sense (I don't understand the Nikki/Tracy Strauss business, or the future Peter storyline either) or were just pointless in general (any scene involving Maya and Mohinder, both of whom need to be written off the show ASAP - I can't believe they kept Maya and got rid of Monica, who was actually a solid and interesting character), but there were a lot of great things about it as well. It was very entertaining, did a good job of setting up the season, had amazing production values and some great development for a few characters. As usual, Claire, Sylar, Elle and H.R.G. stole the show for me - the whole thing between Sylar and Claire was great and very creepy, and it was nice seeing Kristen Bell again (I'm glad that she'll be returning for more episodes this season). I'll continue watching. It was definitely better than last year's season opener.
