Heroes, episode 1.12 "Godsend"

Well, our beloved show returned with a resounding thud. Not to say it wasn't entertaining, but it was simply a build-up episode in my opinion with no "wow" moments. Check out the recap on TVBlend. As always, it does a better job than me in summarizing stuff.

I like how the known characters are starting to come together, how the fringe characters (ex. the Haitian) are becoming more prominent, and how we are getting exposed to yet more new characters (ex. Peter's encounter with the invisible man). The common thread in all the story line seems to be the infamous Linderman. What is his role and interest in all of this? My random thought is what if he is Horn-rimmed Glasses Man's boss? I guess we'll have to keep watching to find out!

For those who can't help but get a sneak peak, here are the teasers for the next couple weeks, courtesy of TVRage...
