I just caught the end of Vol. 5, which premiered this past monday. Don't read if you don't want any spoilers!!!!
So for all of you Heroes fans, what did you think? I thoroughly enjoyed the season. All in all it was pretty good, we got to meet some new characters both good and bad who will probably turn up again in the future. Mohinder wasn't seen very much, and his story seems to be gradually thinning out. Sylar is always a hoot, and it's a real interesting direction they're taking with him. Really the whole nightmare thing was the only way to convince the fans that real change had taken place, essentially aging the character an extra couple of years in character development without actually showing it.. Almost a cop-out IMO but I'll buy it.
I like that rather leave us with a cliffhanger, they just sort of introduce us to the next volume. Will the whole world actually learn about specials, or will those cameramen and reporters be in imminent danger in that first episode? There's always the potential for time-jumping by Hiro or any similarly powered special to remove knowledge of specials from the general populace by going back and preventing Claire from jumping.
I just hope that vol 6 isn't a rehash of season 4 with specials trying to hide as they are being rounded up by the government.
Anyhoo, the show is still entertaining as ever. Hooray.
