The titles of two episodes fit their station very well. “Four Months Later” is like the second season…mediocre for the most part - slow and plodding. Although in the second season, “Four Months Ago” is a harkening back to the show’s first season. Fast, furious, and entertaining as hell.

Wired.com on Nolan’s preference to using real effects rather than digital effects.

“The Line” is a step in the right direction towards righting the ship. Not a huge step, but it is a little more quickly paced - making up for the molasses of the beginning of the season.

“Fight or Flight” continues season two’s inconsistency. Half the stories are worth watching while the other half aren’t. And even the ones that are worth watching have taken a while to develop. Such as the Peter Petrelli storyline for example. Peter has settled into his new life with Caitlin when a young blonde woman named Elle is shown to be looking for him on the docks of Cork. She gets information from a few men, like Will as to where he is. As she walks away she begins playing with electricty from her fingers. Elle is an interesting development. A new character with ties to the storyline ingrained as she is searching for Peter, she is immediately more interesting than Alejandro and Maya.

Here’s one teaser:

And The Sky Full Of Stars

Those gray robes do look pretty cool actually. Not that I could pull it off, I could never get the hood right, but they do look cool. If people are randomly switching from Minbari to human and then back again I would like some advanced warning before I step foot in the corridor.

“Kindred” is another lackluster episode in comparison to the first season. It has a feel of been there done that as it slowly plods along.

Sylar awakens on a beach very disoriented next to Candice who is in disguise. She tells him that she doesn’t go by Candice anymore, instead she goes by Michelle. She explains that she is creating an illusion of a tropical paradise while he recovers from the many surgeries it took to save his life after Hiro made a shishkabob of him. Sylar hates it and wants to see the truth. He also learns that he is powerless. Michelle tries to explain that it’s temporary, but as we know Sylar is not patient. He attacks Michelle, killing her, hoping to get her powers. He takes her brain, but finds out that despite taking her powers he still can’t use them. Then he discovers that he’s in the middle of nowhere far away from civilization. It’s interesting enough, but it’s slow in developing.
