Why would Heroes premiere on a Thursday?
I like that Hiro and Ando will actually be helping people with their abilities, whether publicly open about it or not. The one thing Heroes can do well is hype up a season premiere and get us excited. Hopefully this time the hype will be followed through with great content.
I like that, "Meanwhile, Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) uses his abilities for good, but he is soon called upon to aid an old friend. " Abilities, they have been hinting at this sort of thing for a while now + The Haitian is back, I can't wait to see it.
Where is Mohinder?
Helpin out Shawn and Gus

Wasn't Season 1 aired on Thursday?
Not a clue, I saw season one around when it was aired in America.

That's easy to answer. The show has pumped a lot of money into the 2 hour premiere, and it would all go to waste against Monday Night Football. Heroes has lost enough steam that they be crushed in the ratings against the Grid Iron.
so, is the 2 hours premiere two full episodes or 1 warm-up / catch-up show and an episode? (forgive me if its in the links, I've only read this thread)

From what I've seen, it should be the first two episodes of Vol. 5
sweet - thats what I'm hoping for 
Since this is about the premiere eps, a tidbit about Ando was given in last week's press call with Hayden and Masi, with 2 accounts shown here.
