Heroes, Elle premiered

Well, last night we finally got to meet Elle, Kristen Bell's Character. Turns out she is seemingly a bad guy(girl) with the ability to throw lighting/electricity and is probably the source from which Peter acquired this ability. So, who is her dad...Suresh's boss???? The creator of the show has stated that her character was raised her whole life in the company. I definitely cannot wait to see more of her. As for Peter, he is finally starting to realize some of his other powers which he seems to have forgotten how to use or that he even had. He paints his near future and notices that the street signs are in French. Since he opened the box and found a ticket to Montreal, it is obvious what he is to do next. Hiro continues his journey with Kensei while Ando tries to decipher the scripts left in the hilt of the samurai sword. Micah helps his cousin Monica realize her abilities which seem to be muscle mimicing or copycating as it was put(I don't even pay attention to this storyline quite frankly). Matt and Nathan, trying to help Molly, goto find Matt's father who appears to be a nice guy at first but the looks were deceiving. He shows the evolved nature of Matt's mind reading capabilities and leaves Matt and Nathan for dead basically. He creates a vail of illusion around them to make it appear as if they were somewhere they were not. It seems as though these environments were feeding on their fears. I guess this is why Molly calls him the nightmare man. We didn't see Claire and her boyfriend, but we did see Mr. Bennett and the Haitian speak with Suresh. There was really no story building with their story in this ep. Did you see them in Russia??? did they even try with that green screen??? As for Syler, Maya and Alejandro I have no idea. We didn't get to see them this week.

It seems that they are trying to tell to many story lines at once for a 42 min episode. The paths need to start crossing more so that it won't seem like so many separate stories. The Matt Parkman and Peter stories seem to be the most interesting so far...can't wait to see Montreal.

Don't forget to check out the graphic Heroes novels which kind of fill in the gaps between the episodes.
