I watched Privileged tonight and really, really liked it! Two big thumbs up. I’m definitely tuning in again next week.
I just recently discovered an awesome (AWESOME!) Heroes blog written by one of the show’s producers/directors, Greg Beeman. He blogs after most episodes and reveals some behind the scenes thoughts and scoop. So fun. Read it here.
Anyway, I watched the season 3 premiere last night and my first thought was…
WHAT?!?
Beware spoilers.
My thoughts by characters/storylines…
First, Mohinder needs to go away. He bothers me. What did he think was going to happen when he shot himself up?!? I mean, come on. He’s supposed to be a smart guy, right?
I love Hiro and Ando but I wish they weren’t isolated from the rest of the cast. Again. Although the new tension between them gives their storyline an interesting twist. (Sidenote: James Kyson Lee is a cutie). Don’t like Speedy girl, though (I wasn’t compelled enough to look up her name). She’s too cutesy/perky for me. I hope they’re not setting her and Hiro up for romance. I’m still mourning over Charlie. *sniff*
FuturePeter sucks. He puts his past self into a criminal’s body? And he tries to kill his own brother? Who does that?!? I didn’t like Peter last season and it doesn’t look like that’s going to change.
Weevil! And Veronica! Together again. Aahhhh (hehe, props to Robyn for loving their reunion too!). I kinda wish they had the chance to have real dialogue. Oh, well. At least Elle got to kick some Sylar butt! Wait, does this mean she isn’t sticking around? Elle’s not a very likable character but Kristen Bell totally makes her sympathetic. Love that K-Bell.
Claire and Sylar’s scenes gave me the creeps. I had to look away when Sylar was picking at her brain. EWWW.
Tracey is intriguing to me and I’m excited to see that she’ll (probably) be interacting with Nathan. I particularly loved this exchange they shared:
Tracey: “Wait, you think you know me?”
Nathan: “The term biblically comes to mind.”
HEE.
Almost forgot about Parkman. I love Greg Grunberg (and always will) but all his scenes made me sleeeeepy.
Finally, Sylar is Angela Petrelli’s son? For real? Or is that a fake-out? Whoa. I’ll say it again. WHOA.
All in all, I thought it was a pretty solid return even though I didn’t LOVE it. Kinda weird. How about all of you?
I was pretty bored by it all actually. I’m not sure if I’m going to make it through another Heroes season despite my love for Milo Ventimiglia, Greg Grunberg, Masi Oka, and a few others.
eh…h-panties can’t act…mohinder’s story is a rip of the fly…and i wish they left maya off the show…i do wish Bell signed on for more than 5 eps…good setup but still not enough action (although that scene at the gas station with the villains was pretty disturbing)
I actually liked it overall. It’s not the blahness of season two, so I’m happy. Yes, lots of stuff was annoying (Mohinder, Future Peter, and Maya for example), but overall I’m more intrigued than I was last season.
It was ok, but Mrs. Petrelli totally redeemed it for me. And Sylar too. Everyone else was just…eh.
