The thing that makes me sad is that we are no longer watching on DVD, which means I have to wait a WHOLE WEEK to find out what happens next. Poop.
Loved it, though. I really did. I don't think my expectations were too high, because I'm seeing Heroes as much more psychological drama than actual blow-things-up stuff.
Holy divorces, though. I suppose they both make sense. I mean, Matt and Janice were pretty shaky to begin with, what with her cheating on him and all, but the fact he couldn't call her during the past few episodes... well, that would make a shaky relationship even harder. I was surprised about Nathan and Heidi, though. I just hope DL and Niki are still together.
There was a comment in EW about them wanting to focus more on romance this season, because these people were all young, single, and attractive. Meh. See, some of them I don't mind. Claire getting a new boyfriend? Look at the girl- she's an adorable teenager. I'd find it more unbelievable if she DIDN'T get a boyfriend at some point. And Hiro getting a chicky would be fine with me, because Hiro epitomizes "sweet" and deserves some love. (Wouldn't mind seeing Ando get a love affair, either. I love Ando.) But one of the things I liked last season was they actually addressed marital love, and I'm sad to see a lot of that go. (Although I'm guessing Niki and DL will still be together. I hope so.)
I see my entire friendslist has come to the same conclusion, but "Stealing Molly" much? A part of me was cracking up, but Matt and Molly are just so freaking CUTE. He's so clueless in some ways. "That's why I got you a vegetable pizza." Hehehehe. (Although I'm sure a lot of his motive WAS he wanted to talk to her about the drawings.)
And I don't quite believe Hiro's dad is dead. Not until Ando buries the body. This is a show where, just because someone's splattered in a pool of blood at the bottom of a 42 story building, it doesn't mean they'll be there when you get downstairs.

I agree. Without knowing for certain what his gift is (if he has one) it's too soon to say. Frankly I didn't think that Matt was going to survive, and look at him!

Mohinder/Matt+Molly = One Big Happy Hero Family! Snerk.
Hiro gets to become Kensei, this will be cool. And yeah, Ando? Seriously looking good, buddy.
So I guess you could safely say I'm back in "like" with the show.
