Heroes - Episode 2, BBC2, Wednesday 9pm

Whoa……someone get me a chair!  Give whoever wrote this episode a BIG(ger) paycheck. 

Watching mild-mannered Mohinder ripping off his shirt and specs Superman stylee to reveal a body so buff it must have been CGI’d certainly made my day!!  Sendhil Ramamurthy, who plays Mohinder, must have spent his break locked in the gym. 

Unfortunately ladies, it looks like this vision of gorgeousness will be short lived as the show ended with the power enhanced Mohinder sprouting unsightly growths on his body.  Motherflippers!

Elsewhere, following Bob’s death, mother-from-hell, Angela Petrelli, steps in as Head of the Company. We discover not only that Peter’s first power - dreaming the future - came from her, but that she is Sylar’s real mother!  Now we should have seen that coming. 

We have also found out where Bob got all his money from to fund The Company - he had the Midas touch.  I wonder what will happen to his poor orphaned daughter, Elle, now?  It doesn’t look like Angela holds any maternal sympathy for her.

Volume 3 has definitely started well, revealing the answers to many of our question from the past two seasons and giving us loads more such as ‘Where did the powers originate from?‘, ‘Who is new character Daphne working for?‘ and most importantly ‘Is future Peter really a baddie?‘  - of course not…he can’t be….can he?
