Was I the only one expecting Mr. Muggles to run off with Claire's toe? I think she just left it laying on the floor.
I am probably the only one, but I like the storyline with her and the boy. I like the idea of her getting to know someone like her. I wish though that it had been better established why he was suspicious of her having powers before he confirmed it. It would have been cooler if they had gotten to know each other and have them slowly discover this secret about each other. It seems a little rushed.

I agree with everyone about Maya/Alejandro. Pretty much all that has happened is: Maya cries. Worries her powers will hurt people. Alejandro says he won't let it happen. They get separated for thirty seconds. She kills people. He stops it. Rinse and repeat. This is definitely this season's Nikki/Jessica drag. It's like those storylines are being written by entirely different people.
As for the rest, well, I've been enjoying pretty much all of it. My introduction to Heroes was on HD DVD, and I watched it in massive chunks. I hate having only an hour a week now. The show definitely benefits from being seen a lot at a time, as it allows the audience to keep more of the meta story in their mind.

Did Peter and Nathan gain Nikki's powers? Remember that we saw Nathan look into the mirror and see a different reflection, and then last night the same happened to Peter.

Seriously though, that is going to turn off a lot of normal viewers.

The subtitles are necessary - almost required. They started it and now they have to follow through with it.
As for the gripes about the pacing, the show has "rebooted". The new plotlines have to be built from scratch. Given, there are built-in characters that we already know (Parkman, HRG, Nathan, Claire) but there are also previously seen characters that we need to figure out how they got where they are four months later (Hatian, Peter, Nikki/Micah). My understanding is that this season is divided into two major story lines - one will resolve before the holiday break. So we shouldn't have to wait much longer before some major things start happening. On the other hand, we'll have to endure more "when is shit gonna happen?!?!" postings when the show returns with the second mini-reboot mid-season.

Her powers suck!! They would have been cool if she turned around and she was a kind of Medusa face with "lasers" shooting out of her eyes.. but she looks like she spent the summer in Siberia in that Black Oil - XFiles prison.
Nicki and Paolo Suck

At least last year, at least one plot would advance per episode. The past two episodes could've been combined into one without anything being lost.
But having said that, it's still good.

And the bro/sister story is boring!
Just an average start to the season, hope it gets better.
