I’m a big Heroes fan. Ever since the show began, I’ve been faithfully keeping track of our favourite superpowered team of misfits, watching them slowly master their powers, become a team, encounter their first threat and discover their destiny. That is, until the first break. Then I got used to the show’s absence, and watching Heroes became lower and lower on my list of priorities, until I stopped watching it altogether. Star Trek: Enterprise mondays on Sci-Fi din’t make things better either. But now Heroes is back, and I can finally catch up with the series. I know I’ve missed them saving the cheerleader (shouldn’t have been too hard given the fact that she’s indestructible and all), but now I get to see them save the world.

Hopefully there’ll be more action, as they’ve passed through the awkward phase of superty, and perhaps the question I’ve had since the show aired will be answered: tights or no tights? That question wasn’t answered in last night’s episode, but that didn’t make it any less interesting. The plot has advanced a lot. I can barely keep up, but that’s nothing an hour or two on YouTube can’t fix. Issac fell by the hand of Sylar, Peter’s saved by Claire, Hiro and his sidekick visit 5 years in the future and Niki and D.L. are still arguing over Micah, making it an episode more thrilling than most. As usual, they end with a cliffhanger, raising questions about what would happen should the heroes fail. One thing’s for certain, I’m back on the Heroes train. Sorry Enterprise. Besides, you’re cancelled anyway.
