Heroes - Season Two [spoilers alert]

[PNT510]

The Peter/Adam story was really interesting. It's nice to see why that burned face Nathan was always popping up. Also cool to see more of Elle.

DL/Nikki was better than I was expecting, although kinda predictable because we already knew DL was dead.

Maya and her brother were boring like always. At least we know exactly why they are running.

Ok so Maya's story made the massacre in Kill Bill look tame. It was hella cool. But my problem with their storyline is as follows:

Every week, or every appearence, Maya gets upset, cries, kills people and moans 'ALEJANDRO!' as he cures them and helps Maya.

That's it. Once, (I don't even remember the episode), Alejandro threatened not to save Sylar, and once Maya used her powers on purpose, but their tweaks in story development are engulfed by other stories such as Nathan and Peter, the acceleration and development of the Mohinder/HRG plot etc etc.

But the episode was dealing with the past. Cool. I really enjoyed it, seeing Elle and Bob fit into the past, seeing Niki's new personality was interesting, and Peter and Adam's story put all Peter's pieces together.

My gripes:

-Where is Sylar? We know Candice helped him but what was he doing in those 4 months? Why was he taken....couldnt they have locked him up like they did with Peter?
-Matt had no backround so we never really learned about his divorce, his sudden homoeroticism with Mohinder and his adopting Molly.
-How did the Haitan become so pally with the company after he betrayed them last series? In the heroes timeline he seems to be working with them about a week later
-I would have also like to have seen Ando/Kaito stuff between that time.
-I also thought it was ironic that we were told "No! Wait! DL wasnt killed by that bullet!" only for him to be shot by an entirely different one soonafter. Niki's alterego should have killed him for trying to take her home. But hey.


Otherwise next ep looks fantastic. Noah and Mohinder's clash is so clever and so well constructed; I can totally see both sides of it, although I do go with Mo a bit more really.
