Is there another power that Peter Petrelli has on Heroes that we don’t know about? Perhaps his passport will give it away…
So after writing about how much I agreed with Entertainment Weekly and seeing a lot of people agree, what did you think about this week’s episode? Better? Worse?
I thought it was a little better, but not much. Why did Suresh show up on the doorstep of a girl who had just learned of her power a day before? Who could possibly have known that so fast, and aren’t there others who are more developed they should be after?
The main reason I felt this episode was better was A) less Hiro in Japan B) less of the Cheerleader and C) More Peter.
His ability to suddenly see a canvas and start painting without knowing why is one of my favorite powers I’ve seen on the show. And when he drops into that hypnotic realm, with the white eyes, it’s pretty sweet.
But otherwise, the episode was so-so. The best part was Dual Personality chick bursting into the hallway out of nowhere. We had no idea where she had been, so that was pretty surprising.
Journeyman
Another fine entry into this wonderful little show that seems on the brink of extinction. I write this not knowing how many episodes we have left to watch, so the more people talk about it, the better.
Regardless, this one had two great moments. The first was his kid seeing him vanish. The whole episode I was thinking, if anyone would think what Dan does is cool, it would be his son. So he should just tell him already. But that happened on it’s own, with his son witnessing the whole act. Awesome.
The story becomes more mysterious with the Tacheon Man. Who is he? Obviously he knows something. Does anything have to do with Dan’s father? Is there a link there? Why did Dan get the call from Tacheon Man 15 years ago while traveling?
I am dying to find out and I just hope we do.
Grey’s Anatomy
I have to say, this show lost me last year, but it’s found me again. The stories are fresh and interesting, and it’s gotten back to its roots from season one. The characters are more lively and fun than last year.
It’s gotten to the point that now we tape CSI on the bedroom DVR to watch at a later date, because Grey’s is just more fun to watch on Thursdays.
(Thursday nights take more than one DVR in our house…yikes – but it’s only for CSI)
The Office
Finally, we’re back to 30 minute episodes and last night’s was good. Although I don’t know why Jim was acting funny about his Second Life character. Wasn’t that strange?
The scenes with Kelly, Creed, Andy and Daryl doing their jingles was hilarious. Creed, really???
Ohhhh Deeeeeee!

Ewwwwww!
Other thoughts
I don’t think anyone watches it, but I’ve been enjoying Reaper on the CW. I usually grab a show each year that is more of a dumb, fun show, like Supernatural two years ago. This one is kind of fun, goofy and has an interesting plot going on.
Oh, and while I haven’t mentioned 30 Rock much this year, it’s funny as ever, and last night’s scene with Alec Baldwin doing impressions of Tracy Jordan’s family was an absolute riot!
Btw, Life this week was pretty good too…although the whole thing with his old partner I kind of figured would come eventually.
What!??! No Smallville update or opinoin?!?!
Peters new power obviously comes from Kristen Bell. we have never seen Peter have any type of lightening power before this season. Now we see Kristen looking for him and that she has ‘met with Peter before as well as see that lightening is her main power… Agree that Hiro, who used to have the best story has one of the worst now, we dont need more heros (i.e. the twins or the mimic) it hold little value and means to us viewers the writers arent sure what to do with the stories they have. Peters story is the best this year and wish we had more of it. Apprently on Extra, a producer said one of the main heroes is going to bite it (he said this showing Parkman’s charecter hugging Molley). Lets hope its not Parkman cause he is really cool too.
Because I’m the only one still watching Bionic Woman, if you ever need an update for that show you can pretty much put “Show still sucks, stop watching it” everyweek….
and Life is a really really good show, it was done really well this wekk. It must have more promo behind it or something, cause I cant figure out how Journeyman would be on the cusp of being nixed when its as good as Life.
Think how cool it could be, if Dan was to track Charlie when he was being framed….a little nice crossover if you ask me.
Sorry about Smallville…you know, I’m having a hard time deciding on whether it’s been good or not this year. It’s really unbelievable at times, but also good.
I haven’t watched last nights’ episode yet, so that could be a problem.
I think Peter had lightning already, or at least some kind of shooting light.
Also, the “new power” is on the picture of his passport…it was a joke
[...] Then later, in present day, Dan speaks to him again, and the guy denies knowing Tacheon Man. I think he was [...]
