91热爆

My wednesday nights are now officially not my own. Heroes has well and truly taken over!

*If you missedlast night's double bill on 91热爆 2t, don't read on. Instead, catch up by checking out the official 91热爆 Heroes site here and then come back!*

You could tell that last night's double bill was the set up for something huge. Apart from it being very well shot, written and acted (each episode is the quality of a hollywood film) it seems to be very realistic - taking a subject matter that is fantasy but having the basis in reality. The general premise was that the people who will become our Heroes were all discovering their powers following the solar eclipse:

Hiro (the Japanese funny one) finally managed to control the time/space continuum with just his mind. First he managed to teleport himself into the womens bathroom of a nightclub (good work) and secondly, he managed to teleport to New York City one month later and get himself embroiled in a murder investigation. His best friend Ando didn鈥檛 believe him. Funny how that happens...

Claire Bennet (the texas teenage cheerleader) can heal herself no matter what happens and doesn't feel any pain. Shame she acts like a spoilt brat - I found myself hoping she'd manage to hurt herself. Will finding out who her biological parents were give us an insight into her super powers? Will she ever wear anything other than her cheerleading outfit?

Niki (the blonde stripper) has a murderous alter ego and a gifted son (who used to be in My Wife and Kids - go Franklin!). She managed to kill 2 loan sharks from the mob last night. Wonder how many more her alter ego will have to kill before she's done! Reminds me a bit of Jekyll...

Peter & Nathan (the politician and his brother) seem to both be able to fly. Nathan is more interested in his own political career though. Typical politician! MummyJam says that not everything is as it seems with Peter though. Thanks Mum!

Matt (the policeman) can hear people鈥檚 thoughts but that managed to get him arrested. Didn鈥檛 you just wanna scream at that woman detective 鈥淗E KNOWS WHAT鈥橲 HAPPENING BECAUSE HE鈥橲 A HERO!!鈥� (or was that just me?)
-Mohinder (the indian scientist one) doesn鈥檛 seem to have any super powers himself (yet) but his dad was killed because of his research into it and it looks like Mr Bennet is involved. Will Mohinder find that he has special powers too?
- and finally, Mr Bennet is blatantly creepy. What鈥檚 he gonna do next?

Like every good American drama series a la Sopranos, Desperate Housewives, 24, Lost et al - the episode left us with more questions than answers. What is Mr Bennet up to? Who killed Mohinder's dad? Why hasn't Niki's son seemed to age since he was in 'My Wife and Kids'? Can Hiro really teleport into any time and space or was it a daydream? Who is Isaac? And can his paintings & comics see the future? What relevance does Richard Rowntree aka Shaft have? He can鈥檛 just be in it to be comatose in a bed in the first episode and then die鈥an he? Can both Peter and Nathan fly? And why did their dad kill himself? What will happen to Matt now he's been arrested? Will Claire manage to stop acting like a spoilt brat?

I think that now is also a good time to reveal that I too have secret super powers. But what's my story and what's my power....??
