Short review of Heroes 2x08:

Another "Six Months Ago" that certainly wasn't. I felt like every actor, except for Adam and Angela took this episode as an excuse to go get drunk the night before, and I'm still bored stupid by the Wonder Twins. Meeeeeeh. Where are all the really interesting characters? Surely they did stuff in the between-season interim.

On the other hand... it's clear the writers are aware of at least one thing. Peter only really works as a character when paired up with a cynic. First Nathan, then Claude, and now Adam. Combined with these characters, he's actually interesting, so here's hoping the pattern follows through.

Yeah, it felt like this episode was only about a third as interesting as last week's (it was almost all stuff that could've been explained or told or strongly hinted at during the other episodes of the season so far). Though I kind of like electricity-girl even if she is completely ridiculous :)

*nods* I like the juxtaposition of sociopath with an odd sort of innocence we have in Elle. Other than her, like you said, it all felt recycled, or just weak. As in poor DL's case, where I felt like the writers went 'oh no, as it stands, DL might have had a meaningful death. We can't have that.'
