I can't hide it, look away if you don't want spoilage.
Credits: Joy! Adrian Pasdar! Nathan resurfaces. Also, David Anders, i.e., Sark from Alias. Intriguing.
8:20: Ooooh, and Nathan’s single, if strangely bearded and drunken. Nobody’s perfect. I can save him and resurrect his will to live.
8:22: Huh. David Anders, speaking Japanese, a samurai warrior. He’s so versatile. On Alias, it was all about the Russian.
8:25: Why is everybody sweating so profusely? Suresh, with strange dude with glasses who can turn metal into gold, nice restaurant that’s apparently not climate controlled.
8:30: Parkman and this “Molly” kid. He’s divorced too! It’s like an epidemic!
8:35: Claire’s like Buffy, in adolescent hell! But she’s of the people, defending the underdogs, so she’s cool, even if she’s busting her leg in the gym. Also, the kid talking to her? What’s up with the thing behind his ear? A lump behind his head? A pen?
8:42: Both Hiro’s dad and evil Petrelli mom marked for death? Note that the pictures sent to each of them is ripped from the same whole? Man, she’s evil. She’s like Mommy Dearest plus Martha Stewart, with a dash of Cruella deVille thrown in.
8:45: Hiro in ancient Japan, trying to set the warrior on the straight path, to make the girl fall in love with him. Silly? Charming? Trite? Winning?
8:50: Is this Twin Peaks? What’s up with Claire’s mom and the dog at the table? Are the weird camera angles just creepy? Are these people robots? I don't remember them being this odd.
8:55: Claire and Nathan talking! He’s so paternal, as in not at all. Jesus, he looks like freakin’ Grizzly Adams. And oh, look! Claire’s new beau can fly! Another Nathan offspring, perchance?
8:57: George Takai is dead!! Who pushed him?!!
8:58: Woooo!!! Peter’s back, sans memory, in some sort of cargo container! Somehow, he got his hair cut. Possibly this was the result of atmospheric reentry.
Thoughts: Where is Jessica/Niki plus the fam? I thought she took Molly with her after the finale. And what happened to Sylar? Was he distilled to essence of cockroach, and if so, how does he get back? Do we care about the brother/sister duo emigrating from Mexico? What’s her power? What's the emotional temperature on this season? Are we optimistic?

I called Peter's amnesia after the finale in the spring, though I didn't guess the cargo container in Ireland. I'm finding the whole Matt and Suresh shacking up with Molly dynamic a bit weird, but hey. So, who's the dude who can see Molly, and is he the one who killed Sulu? By the way, the English dude's Japanese is horrible. It's a bit of a slow start, but the potential is there for another good season, I think.
Who could predict a cargo carrier in Ireland?
Matt and Suresh and Molly all together? How did I miss that?? That is bizarre.
My theory on who killed Sulu? Peter--young, skinny guy with a hood. I think now he's got some sort of alter ego that makes him evil. Perhaps he absorbed some of Sylar's eau de evil essence.
See, I thought it was kind of dull, but I guess the stakes are high enough. And now they're going to introduce new characters that I have to care about. I'm not sure if I can muster it.
