As usual, this is mostly a thoughts post, as trying to recap 2 hour premiers (or season finales) is usually too many details for me to remember correctly I have enough trouble nowadays getting everything right with a 1 hour show!

I actually thought it was pretty good. I found myself really liking the whole “Dark Carnival” characters and storyline a lot. That was my favorite part, and I wanted to know more about these people. Clearly the leader guy is searching for someone, and it appears the compass they were after might lead him to this person. I believe it’s his brother. But why was Danko hiding it? Is he somehow connected to the carnies?

Hiro and Ando’s storyline was originally bugging me. I was afraid once again they’d be the silly comical storyline. However once Hiro got involved with the carnival, it seemed that perhaps his storyline won’t be completely insufferable this season. Sorry Hiro fans, but as of late he’s been the worst thing about the show in my opinion, well his storyline at least.

Claire’s story at school was interesting, but I was shocked at how quickly they killed off poor Chelsea Brady! Did Claire’s new roommate, little Gracie Sheffield from “The Nanny” off her? Something is definitely off with her, but I think she has a power she’s hiding. She was too good at Guitar Hero, which she claimed she never played before.

Matt going crazy over Sylar I am not sure about. Is Sylar somehow trapped in Matt’s brain? That’s what the show is hinting. Peter meanwhile is realizing something is wrong with him as well. Did you see all the clocks he had on his desk. I still think there will be an ultimate battle between their two souls per say over the body.

Finally Tracy and Noah have teamed up, and dragged Peter into their mess as well. Seems they will be the ones looking into the “Dark Carnival.”

Where is little Micah hanging out now, and will we ever find out about Traci’s third sister Barbara?
