Can-not WAIT! These two episodes sound more action packed than anything from the last season.

Hopefully, any new characters introduced won't suck like Maya and what's-his-name did last year.

I thought Elle was a perfect addition to the cast and Monica was meh.

I'm utilizing two VCR's to tape things tonight: Heroes, How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory. It doesn't get easier next week with Chuck returning. Aargh!

I actually hope Maya is killed off very quickly. I think she's an incredibly weak character and like that of some season 1'ers, she needs to be only a roadbump on Sylar's path of villainry. They've drawn her character out far too long in my humble opinion. I was excited when her brother was killed. Now only one more.

Don't know if I'm in the minority or majority there, but I don't care. I haven't read spoilers for the new season, so maybe she's already dead. That'd be nice (and convenient).

Sorry, I didn't bother with a smiley because I didn't think people would believe anyone liked Maya's storyline. I was also really pleased with the bro got killed.

Haha yeah, I didn't believe it, but figured there might be one poor sap out there that might have liked it, so I didn't want to be rude if that was the case. I should have known to call shenanigans when you called for an entire episode on her

If she's killed tonight, it doesn't matter what else happens, it's a good episode

Monday's is terrible. I'm going to have to give up on Terminator next week. Even with 3 tuners I can't get everything on Monday night.

Can't wait for Heroes tonight.

From everything that I've read about the premiere, it more than redeems itself.

Thanks for the topic, wasn't sure if it was on tonight or not. And I'll definitely need the recap.

I saw like 2-3 episodes last season, think the recap will cover most/all of season 2?

Considering that absolutely nothing happened in S2, yes.

Glad I'm not wasting my time on a silly recap and watching great comedies instead

But I'll be over on NBC in 15 min.

So, in the Season 3 world:

1) The press doesn't crowd a hospital waiting to hear if a Congressman-elect who got shot dies
2) Maya suddenly speaks perfect if accented English

Perfect.

Maybe it's not really Maya...maybe she's dead....

Kidding Yeah, I just want her gone. Her only purpose imo is eye candy. I see what you're saying though. And didn't they say in a promo or something that the Maya/Suresh scene took place 3 days after Season 2's ending? She learnt english real good in that time.

judging from that last scene, Maya may be around a while longer

Basically. Except he doesn't shoot shit out of his arm [yet].

Angela is a better character every minute imo.

If you happen to watch it sometime, the scene from tonight's show was pretty reminiscent (to me anyways) of Goldblum showing off his abilities to Genna Davis in the movie.

Not unless he starts mutating.

And Spidey's web-shooters have since been retconned in One More Day...he's back to the shooters.

I like Horny Spidey. I've always thought Peter didn't hook up enough with the fine tail around him...Black Cat especially.
