We all know how good shows tend to suck after that first really good season.

So, the verdict, you ask? Well, it was a solid opener which raised a few tantalizing new questions (like, who's killing those old-time heroes? Is Mr. Nakamura really dead?) while answering a few old ones. I'm talking about Peter's alive! And he has no memory! And he's in Ireland! And he's chained in a cargo bin!

I'm talking about Nathan's alive! And he's a drunk who looks lousy in an unkempt beard! Man, that scene with Nathan getting plastered in some seedy joint was straight-ripped from Superman III. But, whateva.
