Heroes 201 + 202

Do I even need to say anything about Heroes? Who isn't watching it? The second season, unsurprisingly really, started a little slow. It would be difficult to keep up the pace when they had resolved all the storylines. It's picking up nicely though, and they're setting up lots more stories, with even more to come (Niki?).

Durrrr, didn't I leave something here?

So far they've picked back up with the cheerleader, mind-reading guy, Hiro, and the Petrellis (sort of). The cheerleader seems to be getting a lot of time, I wonder why! I have a feeling it'll balance out as more people are added however, and I can barely contain my excitement that Kristen Bell is due in 205 and will be in a whole 13 episodes!!! I accidentally spoiled what her power is for myself, but I'll spare you the same fate. There's something I want to say about it, but I'll wait till she appears. They've also added the South American twins, who so far seem to have a really useless power. The interesting thing about it of course is that it's a two-person power, but until we see some other applications of it... it's not much. I was really surprised that woman helping them just got up and walked away.

I shouldn't have bought that cheap mascara.

I was surprised to see David Anders (Sark from Alias) appear. I was even more surprised that he'll speak Japanese, but they still have him speaking English like he's about to order some tea and crumpets. I've heard his other accents, why didn't they let him use one? But then having heard what they try to pass off as an Irish accent, ugh. They can spend a million per episode, but they can't call someone in Ireland to see what they actually sound like.

I think something moved in his beard...
