Days after Heroes premiered its fourth volume, with an episode titled "A Clear and Present Danger," fans are still buzzing about the new storylines.

Were you impressed? Has the show found its groove once again?

What did you think of A Clear and Present Danger?

Welcome to our 22nd Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the forums to discuss every character and storyline, our staff comes together every week to analyze the latest developments from the latest episode.

Topics in this edition include: the new Nathan, HRG and the plane crash aftermath. Let's get to the Q&A...

Can you see Nathan's argument at all?
A. Hiro: Sure. Taken from a purely objective point of view, it's not difficult to understand why someone would see the world as a better place if people with abilities were not using them freely in the real world. Honestly, we haven't seen many examples of the Heroes saving ordinary people from everyday dangers or anything.

Milover: No. I'm all for rounding up the dangerous individuals, as HRG was doing when the series started. But there's no reason to harm Peter and those Nathan know are good-hearted.

Timex: Yes. While most of the Heroes appear to be good people, Nathan is now a public official. His responsibility is to the greater good, the entire country. He can't run the risk that any of these individuals get corrupted and use their abilities for evil.

Why is HRG working with Nathan?
Timex: It's HRG! Let's not question his motives, as he always has his eye on what's best for those around him, even if he uses shady tactics sometimes to get there.

A. Hiro: Is he really doing anything different than he's always done? HRG has always believed that those with abilities should be captured. Except for his Claire Bear, of course.

Milover: Because they have a common bond. Her name is Claire.

Will Sylar ever find his real father?
Milover: Of course. The only question is whether this mean will also be a power-hungry evil-doer. I say yes. The dangerous apple can't fall too far from the tree.

Timex: Maybe he already has. Doesn't The Hunter look about the right age to have fathered Sylar?

A. Hiro: I hope so, and soon. Let's not have Sylar continually navigating the globe, searching for acceptance.

Will all the Heroes survive the plane crash?
A. Hiro: As lovely as she is, I think we may need to bid farewell to Ali Larter and her character of Tracey.

Milover: Nope. Mohinder is a goner. (A guy can dream, can't he?!?)

Timex: Probably. After all, no one ever really dies on the show, right?

What did you think of last night's all-new Heroes episode? Were you Satisfied with how volume four got started?

Chime in now in our shed light on a couple key characters/storylines:

Is Claire's Bio Mom Dead? We know that Sylar is alive, despite Angela's claim of "dental records" proving the contrary. Sounds like Jessalyn Gilsig's may still be breathing, as well.

"They have driven home to me that it's Heroes and so I am not dead," Gilsig told E!. "How could she die by fire? She starts the fire. So I think of her as sitting on the shelf, just waiting to emerge from the ashes. I just hope I don't come back with a lot of burn makeup that I have to wear."

Sylar Has an Awesome Friend. Next week, actor Dan Byrd joins the show and Sylar teams up with his character, Luke. Look for Luke to be a human microwave. Don't stand too close to the screen, viewers.

Will Claire's mom help her out of this precarious position?

Wow. Now that's what we call a premiere!

Following promises that volume four of Heroes would reboot the struggling franchise, the opening episode did not disappoint.

A clear, straightforward storyline has emerged; along with a new, albeit familiar, villain (woe is you, Nathan Petrelli). Read our detailed episode guide for "A Clear and Present Danger" now.
