Volume 3: Villains

The producers of Heroes seem to have gone back to the basic formula from season 1: parallel plots for each character (with the comical line taken care of by Hiro), a sneak peek into the future, setting up the tone and mystery for the season.

It is also good too see that past characters such as Claire's mom finally make a difference in the development of events, and they don't any need introduction now.

What's missing is still the visual story telling I so loved from the first season. There was still too much verbal explanation done by Peter about the future. The Petrelli mom's dream was a good clue, but it probably wasn't significant to the story line.

Hiro had stopped talking in his baby voice, that seems to be a big production oversight.
