So welcome to our review of the second episode of Heroes, entitled Lizards. I should let you know that our review will contain a ton of spoilers, so read at your own risk. Ok well let’s get into the review.

Last week we got an introduction to Season 2, and that is really what it was, a catchup session with all of the Heroes. The show starts off with Peter who was found by some iPod thief’s who found Peter in the container that was supposed to contain iPods. But of course Peter has no idea how he got there. We then go to Claire and her family which discusses her laying low, something that she has been against since she was told to do so. Then we went over to the death of Hiro’s father where Parkman is investigating the death. And finally we are left with Hiro, who is still in early Japan where he is trying to get Kensei to become a hero, but instead he takes it into his own hands.

The show continues with more insight into our new hero Maya who is still moving throughout Mexico to find answers about her abilities. Peter is now handcuffed and helped by the Sister of the man who wanted to steal the iPods. Claire decides not to go unnoticed and speaks up in a big way in science class on the subject of the ability to heal yourself like Lizards, hint the name of the episode!

We meet up with Suresh who is now in Haiti, and surprisingly we meet up with the Hatian who we haven’t seen in quite a long time. Suresh states that the only cure that is his very own blood. The show really picks up after this portion with two big sequences. First off Hiro is still working on keeping Kensei’s legacy intact so he takes Kensei’s gear and pretends to be him, while taking out a whole group of enemies. Then we switch to Peter who is still tied up and manages to finally focus he powers to take off the ropes that held him to the chair and two other Irish men with really a simple flick of his wrist.

Suresh actually manages to cure The Haitian, however in the process the Hatian erases Suresh’s memory so he doesn’t even remember being in Haiti. The show turns toward Maya who is still on the move and she is taken away from her brother which has her kill a mutual friend. For the first time we saw Maya actually kill, her eyes turned completely black with black tears. It seems as though Maya doesn’t have this problem with her brother is around, rather if he is not she kills whoever is nearby. We learn soon after that Maya’s brother is able to compliment her powers by healing and stopping her powers.

The show really starts picking up now, we see Mrs. Petrelli being questioned by Parkman who reads her mind when she says that someone wants revenge, and admits to having relations with Hiro’s dad at one point a long time before. She is alone in a confined room when she is attacked and both Parkman and her son Nathan come to save her. She is not killed but is given a picture of herself with the Kensei logo on it, which she also admitted to be her husbands logo for his law company.

The conclusion of the show has Peter being teased with a box, it is a box that contains his identity something he has to work for in order to get it back. Claire decides to cut off her toe to see what would happen and it grows back, however her new boyfriend from school sees her doing it through the window.

This episode was a much stronger episode, although I have to say that it still hasn’t packed an overly strong punch. In some ways there is probably to many characters in an episode, and at times I just want to see what’s going on with Hiro and Peter rather then a lot of the new characters. Is Heroes growing to fast? In my opinion it might be, but then again like last season it may just be growing bigger and bigger to do better things in the future. Lizards was a good episode, but not one of the best.
