Heroes - Its all falling into place

Warning - Spoilers ahead.

I gotta admit. Season 2 of Heroes took its time getting it all together. It started off with a bang and then went into too many parallels and lost it a little I felt. Its taken its time, but last night’s latest episode it all fell into place. I had been waiting when we would see the Bad-Ass Hiro that we witnessed just twice very briefly in Season 1 (once in the Subway train and then again later in the “what if” episode where he’s been labeled a terrorist). I think what we saw in last night’s episode was the beginning of Hiro’s transformation from the naive idealist to the Bad-Ass Hiro that takes names.

I’ve throughly enjoyed David Anders in the role of Takezo Kensei. I’ve been a fan of his work from his Alias days way back in 2001, and its nice to see him return to TV. Even I didnt see the twist at the end… He’s playing the role he is most comfortable with: being the villian. It will be interesting to see how him and Sylar get on later this season.

Some people might say that hey, didnt they save the world from disaster last time… And what, you’re telling me that the World is in danger again? Those people are not getting the whole point of graphic novels. Everything comes full circle… If you stop one event - you can not really stop it, but rather delay it.. It will find another way, so all you can do is keep fighting the fight of “good” vs. “evil.”

I like where they are going with this in Season 2. Lookin’ good.

yepyep, last nights episode was effin awesome.

That was indeed a awesome plottwist, didn’t expect Takezo being Andy. But I wonder how he got all those powers. But finally the paintings fall into place eh? Too bad it only comes once a week, I want to see more more more :S

I like the way they changed the intro for Heroes aswell. First the yellowish circle that was the explosion and now te green circle as the virus

According to the Company’s boss, Bob, Andy is the Big Guy - the one that started it all. Remember he tells Nahtan in the office, “it all started with Andy, and we locked him somewhere and threw away the key. But two weeks ago he escaped.” That place was Japan! In the past!!! As soon as I understood that I was shocked at that revelation! I did NOT see that coming!

So Andy has now escaped somehow from the prison the Company put him in (Old Japan). Now what? And what are his real powers? It will be very interesting to see….
