Heroes ga-F'N-lore!

So tonight is the two hour season premiere of Heroes. I was fortunate enough to get a review "screener" of the first hour, and it's absolutely fantastic. And this is coming from a guy who was highly critical (in hindsight, anyway) of the second season.

Quite simply, the first hour of the premiere was everything that the second season was not. You find out some details about the previous generation of heroes (including the ability of Angela Petrelli), you discover who shot Nathan (and trust me, you won't expect who it is), and there's an absolutely phenomenal scene including Claire and Sylar.

Anyway, here's a review of the episode:

Please heed my advice and watch the episode -- even if you were turned off by season two. Perhaps ESPECIALLY if you were turned off by what last year had to offer.

Also, here's a review of the recent NBC conference call, where fans received some answers from Zachary Quinto (Sylar) and Heroes creator Tim Kring:
