Heroes Premiere

I have been waiting for some time now for the premiere of Heroes. Maybe it is the difficult life situations I deal with in my job, but there is something to be said for getting lost in a good sci-fi program.

While the premiere did not dissapoint me as far as character development and plot, it did seem apparent that they were setting up the session with mini-subplots. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I remember the first session as being more seamless with transitions to the mini-subplots.

Don't get me wrong, I still loved the show and will continue to be a fan. I am glad that Peter and his brother are not dead, as the session 1 finale seemed to imply. What about Syler though? I know some thought he was dead, but those of us whom were paying attention would have caught that he slithered down the man hole. And what is with that the weird symbol that kept turning up? Obviously that will be further explored in future episodes...
