This week I believe. So far the promos look better than last season. I gave up very early on in last season. I did a little reading to catch up but didn't feel driven to watch the season. Now it looks more interesting with the special powers people being rounded up (as in many stories about mutants in the human race--see X-Men comics over the years) and sequestered away. This may be the return of the best of Heroes.

It is too bad you didn't watch. I thought the season just kept getting stronger. They went back to having one mission that all the characters were working towards. That is what made Heroes so good season 1.
Save the cheerleader save the world.

I really enjoyed last nights show.

Now a question for those who did watch. When and how did Peter get his powers back? They are weaker and different but coming back.
And does this mean that Hiro will also get his powers back?
Speaking of Hiro I was confused as to why they took him but my son reminded me only Ando and Clare know he Lost his powers.

Peter had to inject himself with Surresh's potion at the end of the last chapter to keep it from blowing up the building they were in. This gave him back his same power, but apparently with a twist...he has to touch the person to get their power.

No, it doesn't mean Hiro will get his powers back. Since the writers have said they're going to stop relaying on time travel, i doubt Hiro ever gets his powers back.

Thanks Fran. For the life of me I could not remember. to the writers. Hiro must get his powers back. He doesn't need to time travel but they are useful in other ways.

My NBC station didn't show any 'previously on' and there were things I couldn't remember. I think that was a mistake not to recap.
