New series starts tonight 
Hopefully it'll be better than last year, less new characters that suck balls, and more Sylar and Hiro.
And because I'm damn sure I'm right, Sylar is the third Petrelli son

Why didn't they mention Peter as a suspect? Perhaps a future Peter shoots his own brother to stop some future badness? He was about to tell the world about them, afterall. When the shooter walks away from the crowd, it does look a bit like Peter's walk (not as easy to see on the youtube vid).
Should be good!
from the youtube vid, I'd say your onto something there, it looks like peter, it could also be future badass alternative peter , (one with the scar)
Interesting to say the least, plus doesn't nathan have that creepy burnt alter-ego maybe it was to stop him ...i dunno i could speculate all day
needs to be bloody good to get my attention back after 2nd series
And wtf was with
That said, still lots of enjoyment
I saw some trailer that made it look like Claire gets a dark side... sounds good to me :P And I hope they continue with less focus on the Niki and her son and co arc, cause really, does anyone love their arcs compared to anyone and everyone else's??
Gaaah, still, so excited!!
My big gripe was that Season 2 got cut WAY short, like...in half. And by now? Peter should be a total bad-ass not the whimpering pussy he always seems to be.
"Hi, Im the most powerful being on the planet, but Im gonna cry and waffle and act confused every day. Does my brother really love me? I'm mad at my dad, blah blah..."
He can regenerate any body part except, apparently, his balls which he's seemingly lost.
qft
oh yeah, and also while im remembering things about season 2, all that shit about
man im remembering just how pissed i was at the end of season 2
edit:
ah yes! also,
teh? Lots of people are confused growing up. Peter's in his what, early-mid 20's? That's a big time of change, of confusion. On top of that he's got these crazy powers. I don't see how he should become insta-badass and bust shit out. They're trying to portray it somewhat realistically and emotionally.
In season 2, his memory was lost 1/2 the time. So he was trying to relearn himself all over. Once he got his mem back, he was still under the impression that Adam was good. I'm sure his head was still fuzzy for a while, since the haitian wiped so deep (ie; Claire's mom), so that could also explain some shit with Peter's softness for the rest of the season.
I'm sure that in season 3, he'll ramp up his abilities. With all of the badguys that are bound to be out there now, he'll have to, to survive. Keep in mind, this all takes place in the course of like 6 months or less - it's all been a hell of a lot to absorb for a kid. His character is interesting, and certainly pivotal in series to counteract Sylar. Things will be interesting, I'm sure of it.
oooh and why did he have a scar?? how does that work if he regenerates? they better explain that one
There is potential for this third season, but we will have to see. I am definitely liking the return of Sylar. His quest to retrieve his powers in season 2 was a great way to show off how much of a bastard he could be, but it dragged on and wasn't very entertaining.
so very cool, hopefully the pace will keep up through out the season and have lots of mental battles.
The problem with the franchise comes from the very beginning and plot itself, all 3 seasons have now started with visions of the future. The first season was very simple. 'Save the Cheerleader, Save the World'. Unfortunately though they haven't been able to find a simple mantra with which to continue the series.
It's hard to keep things grounded when you can travel through time and are indestructible, and sadly there are about 10 million plot holes involving the powers of Claire, Peter and Sylar.
My only thought more knit picky is how Sylar got his power from Claire. The reason he was able to was because Peter screwed things up and didnt allow her to come to the hospital, where if she did she would be fine. But in actuality she would of been home no matter what. If he didnt go back in time then his brother would not have been shot and Claire would of never needed to leave the house anyway. I think it was just a slight overlook by the writers. All in all it was still awesome...
Spoilery predictions and thoughts below
I think Nikki/Jessica(the dead one, not the split persona)/Tracey are triplets or some manner of experiment on the part of Linderman & Adam Monroe/Kensei. One of Monroe's old alias's was "Sanders", and there's a certain familial resemblance. Plus they're both seemingly evil & unhinged...which is also genetic.
The idea that there are a limited set of powers to go around is kinda interesting.
Lets see who's powers are doubled up:
Painting the future: Isaac, and the new mysterious African guy.
Freezing: Tracey can freeze stuff ala Sylar/Mollys dead dad.
Healing: Claire and Adam Monroe
Flight: Nathan and Claire's old BF West.
Super Strength: Niki and this new guy Knox (maybe she needed fear as well, and never realized it?)
Pyro: Claire's mom and the bald villain
Electricity: Elle and Future Ando
Sylar.....a Petrelli? Thats just a little lame a melodramatic. Unless Mama Petrelli is just full of shit...and it wouldnt be the first time, so...if she were just lying and manipulating him that will be cooler.
Angela did sleep around with Kaito. Sylar could be their kid, maybe placed in foster care by Angela. Don't see how it would be lame or melodramatic, as their relationship was revealed in season 2 (you knew it would come into the story at some point!
Good call on Niki, sounds like a promising theory.
I think the show is far from jumping the shark though. This 2hr episode was much better than all of season 2 was, imo.
The thought of everyone having powers is certainly scary. Human's crave power, so I could only imagine the outcome. Just look at what it did to innocent Ando!
I mean come on the "Should've had Sprint?!" UGH
Other parts were ok some great, but at other parts I almost felt like I was watching the Star Wars prequels...where i wanted it to be awesome, but it just felt not quite the same. I noticed they were explaining a lot of things they didn't need to either. I figure that's just because of the huge break, and i hope after this ramp up they don't continue to explain the obvious.

i suppose the "LOL SUPERVILLANZ!!!" had to happen eventually, but there comes a point where you just HAVE to think "wait... a german with magnetic powers... where have i seen that before?".
he then had to drop the bombshell. "you can never die". wow... so, she's REALLY immortal? i know Adam says "don't lose your head pete, there's no coming back from that". but at the same time, has he ever tried? not to mention, Sylars actual power, is to look at something and instantly know exactly how it works. so when sylar looks in clairs head and sees "immortal", i think i'd rather take his word, than adams guessing.
it's pretty clear that Nathan is being controlled by Matts dad, who's managed to either find a way to ressurect linderman, or is just giving nathan a recognisable figure to deal with.
Long dark haired scientist who lives in an industrial type loft doing crazy experiments tries his stuff on himself...
Then due to a genetic change discovers super strength, agility, increased sexual aggression, wall walking.... flipping around and hanging from rafters...then later discovering the monstrous mutating side-effects?
Haha very true. It'll be great to see him mutate as well as seeing more heroes who look like mutants.
It was a pretty interesting first two epis, but did anyone else think some of the characters were getting a bit out of character...? Like Suresh's insistence about the syrum to what's-her-South-American-face, and being completely unable to understand her point of you? I thought that brash closed-mindedness was a bit unlike him...
And Peter deciding to go back and change things and then being incredibly dumb and messing everything up. Is that REALLY like him? And putting HIMSELF in the highest level secutiry prison trapped as another guy! Sure, he's from the future, but a person can only change so much...
But heck, by the end of the second episode where all the level 5 guys escaped and are about to run around and cause havoc... Ok, now I'm interested
Nah. That was Niki Sanders. Always was and the "Jessica" we've all come to know is just garden variety psychosis, aka multiple personality disorder.
There WAS a real Jessica Sanders, who was the twin they established was real but supposedly dead as a child in the 1st season. Killed by her abusive alcoholic father.
Niki's power was super strength. Thats it.
Tracey's power is to freeze stuff.
We have no idea what Jessica's power was, if anything.
Of course...this is all based upon what I've deduced from watching the show so I could be totally wrong.
Anyone know how or where to see Season 3 if you're not in North America?
No, no you can't. Only if you're in America you can view it. In Canada and elsewhere you can not view the videos.
If I recall it's to do with copyright or broadcast issues for various countries.
