heroes

there's a hirooooo when you look inside your heart...

episode one was one of the worst returns to tv in recent memory. and NO ONE will ever be that excited by a nissan rogue (or--as eje pointed out--any nissan ever). episode two, though, picked up right where we wanted it to. peter, whose power-discovery was one of the more fun threads in season one, finds himself with a two-to-three episode arch of doing it all over again; hiro--while finding out that idol is a bit too goofy in that francis from malcolm in the middle sort of way--is getting his chance to really turn into a hero, claire's finding herself in that peter parker dealing with being a noone in high school while secretly having powers sort of position, and partman's actually looking somewhat cool. now we just have to get them to never EVER again try to say "the company" with a straight face.

and maybe it's just me (or my memories of her as the nerd on malcolm [who references malcolm twice in one heroes post?]), but hayden panettiere really isn't all that hot. at all. seriously. not at all.
