Ben WhitcombHeroes: The Second Coming & The Butterfly Effect

I'm finding it hard to review the season premier of Heroes, because I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. There were a lot of moments where I spotted plot holes, but I don't feel like I should take them into consideration because they will probably end up being explained and will no longer be a plot hole. They've done it before.
The episodes was very exciting, but as a season premier I thought it was a little disappointing. If the second season finale hadn't been the finale and these episodes had followed right after it like they were supposed to, I would probably feel more satisfied with the events of these episodes.
It's just that too much happens. And I mean too much and we are left too long in between story lines. I'll give an example: Sylar locates Claire at home and she manages to run and barricades herself in a closet, bam, we cut to a different scene and then a half hour later it comes back to Claire and Sylar. I had completely forgotten about them. Stuff like that made everything hard to follow.
There is virtually no progression of the plot. The premier was spent setting up tons of questions,story lines and new characters. Enough stuff to last the entire season. Well at least half of the season anyway.
For the most part I really liked the premier because I know that in the long run the episodes will fit right into place.
