Yeah, carebear I have no idea where they are going with that one. Peter’s too powerful to be so dumb, or vice versa.

And hi there, Grace!

Thanks Brian. When they bring Parkman home from ‘Feudal’ Africa..I’ll definitely watch again! I’m upset about what they did to my cop.

it will probably take some weeks before the TV ratings go up, just because a lot of people were disappointed with volume 2. But there’s no doubt that this season moves like a Speedster! I’m glad it’s back.

Sonja, Season 2 was pretty slow moving in most folks’ opinion. Things look like they’re off to a good start here. And welcome back, carebear! You have to keep watching. We always enjoy your honest commentary.

Great comments so far on the new season, guys. Keep them coming.

Completely disgusted by what they’ve done in the premiere. And I had actually defended Volume 2 and waited patiently and fangirled all summer for Volume 3. Now I’m done. Jumped the shark.

I finally got into the show just over the weekend, had to watch it all online.

The first season was amazing, The second season was a little slow for me, but I am glad it is back and that everyone is switching sides.

I agree with John. Not exactly liking the future Peter.

I LOVE Sylar being related (during the first season I thought he was Claire’s Father, I was close, hehe)

I am so looking forward to the rest of this season. It looks extremely dark!

So true, Arieanna. The ratings bigwigs need to get with the times. If people watching TV online were included, I’m convinced the changes would be earthshattering. And shows like Jericho and Moonlight would likely not only still be on the air, but possibly Top 15-20 shows.

I can’t see a majority of the older demographic going online to download Deal or No Deal, Law and Order or the things that often inexplicably beat our fave shows.

[...] a 2-part premiere: “The Second Coming” and “The Butterfly Effect”. Though ratings for the premiere were down, BitTorrent downloads set an all-time record. So, what does all this [...]

The show broke torrent records though – so I think that’s the issue. This show, more than any other, hits the demographic that will download shows.

There were more than 1 million downloads of the 2 episodes in 24 hours. Kind of crazy that traditional ratings can’t incorporate this.

I loved the last season of Heroes. Most of the characters were really….well, HEROES. What I didn’t like was that we never really got any answers, just more questions! I was so frustrated at the end of the season that I made the choice not to watch any more. The previews for this season confirmed my decision. We know how bad people can be, show us something heroic in Heroes and give us some solid answers and I might be back
