"We Can Be Heroes / Just for One Day"

Finally got around to watching the Heroes premiere last night. A whole bunch of people died right off the bat; looks like a lot of fun is to be had this season.

But it appears last year's short season hurt the audience:

The biggest disappointment of the night would have to be NBC's flailing Heroes. The network's 8-9 p.m. recap special drew an un-heroic 6 million viewers. Then, the two-hour premiere reached only 10 million viewers, down about 29 percent from the 14.1 million who tuned in for season 2's premiere. (Last year, NBC was able to get Nielsen to add together Heroes’ ratings for the initial Monday night premiere along with a Saturday repeat to come up with a final number of 17 million.) While DVR playback should boost the Heroes premiere numbers, that lukewarm start could still be a sign that the series' superpowers are weakening

I was among the ones who caught it after the fact on DVR. Hopefully things will pick up.
