This season has been hit-and-mostly-miss for me so far, but I thought this was one of the better episodes of the eight. I think I was just craving some sort of info on what has been going on, it was nice to finally get a tiny bit of that.

I still find Alejandro/Maya and Nikki very annoying, and oh dear, DL's fireman rescue... cheese factor nine . I'm also finding a lot of the dialogue incredibly bland and predictable, so many lazy clichéd lines.

There should definitely be more Elle. Kristen > *

Anyone bought the new magazine? I'm trying to get a mate who likes heroes to buy it so I can read it, doubt it'll be any good though. Also anyone got the 'graphics novels' in print, or are they not out yet? and one more thing what's the uncut pilot episode in the DVD like?

THis weeks episode looks like it could develop the Bennett and Mohinder story if you have seen the promo.

Holy....it just gets better.

Weird that, from what we saw of the future timeline, the future where Parkman became the Gestapo guy he never developed his abilities as he is doing now. From what we saw, of course.

Yet another boring, dull and uninspired episode.

Couldn't give a damn about Adam and Claire drama and it was obvious that Bennett wouldn't really die.

Elle the only good thing in the episode imo.

Holy **** \o/

So glad Noah's not dead, even if it was heavily telegraphed. Also loving the way West flies with a different style to Nathan, very Archangel-esque. Elle continues to **** me off, so it was very pleasant to see Noah close her circuit.

Claire not immortal, yet. However, she has the potential to be? I think. Just how much regeneration is required though? Adam has obviously regenerated a huge amount, this week's comic shows that he's spent alot of the past four hundred years fighting various wars, just to stave off boredom Also gloating in the fact I predicted Adam was the killer :cool:

Parkman becoming evermore like Xavier, which is worrisome, as he's generally **** while Charles is awesome.

More Shanti dross this week from Hana.

Oh, let's notice and celebrate this episode had no Nikki and no Maya. \o/

At least Kring has admitted that it's been pretty **** so far:

Heroes creator apologises to fans

The creator of hit TV show Heroes has apologised to fans in the US for a slow start to the second series.

Tim Kring admitted to Entertainment Weekly that mistakes had been made on the choice of storylines, but promised to get the show back on track.

The second series has seen falling ratings in the US, where the programme is now eight episodes in.

Viewers in the UK can see the conclusion of the first series on BBC Two on 5 December.

The superhero show, starring Hayden Panettiere and Masi Oka, was the top-rated new drama in the US last year.

But recent programmes have seen audiences slip away - with one recent episode placing 30th in the overall ratings.

The drop-off has been attributed to an influx of new characters and sluggish story-telling. Kring admitted the pace had been too slow.

"We assumed the audience wanted season one - a build up of intrigue about these characters and the discovery of their powers. They wanted adrenaline.

"We made a mistake - we took too long to get to the big-picture story," he added.

The 50-year-old writer also told Entertainment Weekly he regretted introducing a number of romantic storylines saying: "In retrospect, I don't think romance is a natural fit for us."

The show has been hit by the current writer's strike in Hollywood and there are only three more shows left to screen in the US before the episodes run out.

Kring said he hoped to begin with a "clean slate" when production resumes.

'"The message is that we've heard the complaints and we're doing something about it."

In the UK, BBC Two struck a deal with NBC to screen future series of the science-fiction drama, including series two.

The station's terrestrial premiere of the programme attracted an audience of 4.3 million viewers earlier this year.
