Monday night marked the return of Heroes after an uncomfortably long absence. Did you welcome it back with open arms?

With a history which is a little checkered (to say the least), volume five is arguably the show's last attempt at getting it right. The opening episode of season four failed to set the ratings alight, drawing a disappointing 6 million - but can Heroes improve hereonin?

Tim Kring and the gang are giving this last chance their best shot by bringing the series back to its roots: Peter's back to being a paramedic, Hiro and Ando have returned to Japan, and Claire is still trying to be 'normal'. Amongst all that, Monday night's episode gave us the death of a major player, Parkman's past returning to haunt him, the introduction of Robert Knepper's Samuel, and the most bizarre - but potentially best - pairing in the show's history.

Enough of the recaps: what did you think? Is Heroes back on form? (Was it ever off form?) Or does it have a long way to go to win you back over? Cast your vote, then feel free to sound off in the comments section below!
