No Irish Need Apply

One of the great things about Heroes is that it provokes so many questions:  What is the Company?  Where was Peter?  How can Nathan grow that beard in only four months?  But the question most on my mind is:  Couldn't the producers find any Irish actors to play the thugs from Cork?  Their accents are phonier than Kevin Costner's in Robin Hood.  Even Miss Cleo's Jamaican accent sounds more authentic.  All in all, though, the first two episodes have been entertaining, if still suffering from some of the weaknesses of the first season:  mainly soap-quality dialogue and acting.  That aside, I am enjoying Hiro in medieval Japan, even if it is a Back to the Future rip-off.  And Stephen Tobolowsky is a welcome addition to any show.  I'm also enjoying the absence of Nikki and Micah, though that lucky streak looks about ready to end.  (Also, "West" is just about the most ridiculous name I've ever heard.)

Where is Veronica?

I am eagerly awaiting her arrival.

 I like the Honduran twins, her power is very freaky.  Also enjoying Hiro in Japan.  Isn't that Sark from Alias?

Mama Petrelli getting attacked was pretty cool too.

clock it at one season and one episode

I liked it still.  I am glad nicki hasn't shown up yet, I wasn't bothered by the accents. I like the whole company thing and how Claire cut off her toe. That was cool. Still on board with the show ;-)
