Average Rating: 
Rating: - Not bad on second viewing
Although not the best season of Heroes, there is much to be gained from seeing season 2 again. Now that we have season 3, there are things going on that you can see building toward something. The Latin American twins are still no great characters but they do function to get Sylar back into the game.
Very clean transfer. Some interesting extras. For example, there is a documentary that looks like a history channel special about Takezo Kensei. The usual deleted scenes are interesting as far as how the story might have changed.
Rating:  - A thundering disappointment after Season One
Not since Season Two of TWIN PEAKS has a good show fallen so sharply off in quality as HEROES in Season Two (and unfortunately, as of this day, Season Three). And never has a series so completely belied its name.
The fundamental problem with HEROES is that there are no heroes. There are people with super abilities, but no one acts especially heroic. There are no clearly demarcated good guys and no clearly delineated bad guys. Instead, characters are apparently good for a while and then apparently bad. In other words, the fundamental conception of the show is just a mess.
The problem with Season Two is twofold. First, it fails to build on the promise of Season One. The best long narrative shows of recent years (and HEROES apparently bills itself as a long narrative show) continuously and clearly moves the story alone. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA clearly and brilliantly tells a story. LOST (the draggy Season Two aside) tells a story. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER clearly and inevitably told a series of stories. But even well into Season Three it isn't clear that HEROES has a story to tell. There are markers and signs that they think they have a story to tell, but things remain dark and murky. Watching the show in Season One I assumed that the show was showing how a group of people with remarkable abilities was going to come together, perhaps to team together for good. But at this point in the series no one seems to really be finding their way. Few have had epiphanies. ... Read More
Rating: - Amazing image quality
I got this as my first Blu-ray disc, I'm impress with the quality, and the content of the series, great extras, but I have been unable to remove the "Bonusview" tag on the corner[..], thanks!
Rating: - The Half-Season Weirdorama - still hope for Season Three
Shows such as Heroes, Prison Break, Lost are, to a significant degree, reflections of how many of us perceive the world around us during these uncertain and unsettled times:
- larger portions of our lives are influenced or even controlled by high-level entities or organizations who now have the means to implement their agendas
- things are almost never what they seem because hidden forces are at work
- only very few insiders completely understand and control and set the agendas for these all-controlling entities
- we should consider ourselves lucky if we can figure out the who's and the how's that change our world but we may never get to know the why's
- these hidden and mysterious 'powers that be' plot, plan and act globally
Heroes is a near-perfect reflection or expression for our current fears and paranoias and watching it could therapeutically help vindicate and validate them. Heroes reveals that there's a number of humans possessing near-supernatural powers who live secret lives while appearing as normal, ordinary people to the rest of the world. We are 'in the know' now, rigyht? But, wait, these poor gifted souls have no idea where those powers came from and, up until Season One started, they were hardly aware of each other's existence. And this is only the beginning. What we are watching unfold is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma - to borrow someone else's words. Someone or something appears to be working secretly to find all ... Read More
Rating:  - Blu-Ray Remains the Best Way to Watch Heroes (Truly Underrated!)
Season Two, regardless of the writer's strike, remains high quality entertainment. Like many others, I was hesitant going in. What with all the excessive negative feedback. Not that this Season wasn't without its fair share of flaws, but most of which was rather minor compared to it's newfound strengths.
For those coming hot off the heels of Season One, hoping for more of the same but with tons of new characters, you're met halfway. Several of the new characters are surprisingly well developed and have gone on to become some of my favorite characters: Alejandro, Elle, Maya, and Monica. However, due to the considerably shortened length, many of the returning characters feel far too alien. Not enough screen time perhaps? For this very reason, many of the present struggles can be hard to relate to. More often than not, you feel as if Nathan and pals could've used that extra time. Maybe introduce a few more conflicts, and then you would have some excellent character development. No matter. Due to the writer's strike, none of which was possible. Still, going in, it was nice knowing many of these problems. Helped to appreciate more of the talents at work behind these scenes.
Now, the strengths. As mentioned earlier, the new characters are a breath of fresh air. Each trial shows something new; something special. That something is what really shines through, reminding you of just why you started watching Heroes in the first place. Probably the best aspect Season 2 has going for it. ... Read More
