Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - BUY IT.
So I was a little nervous about buying this season because of all the negative reviews...my husband and I weren't expecting much when we popped it in the dvd player. But we seriously don't know what everyone else is talking about when they say this season sucks. Its just as good, if not better, than season 1. I just wish it didn't have to end so quickly. I definitely wish there were as many episodes as season 1. No, its not EXACTLY like season 1. But whats wrong with that? They spiced it up, switched it up...and made it just as awesome. I would HIGHLY recommend buying it. You won't regret it.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - I Feel Cheated
I enjoyed the season, and I'd hoped that they would develop a strong ending to the virus arc. They gave us a short glimpse into the future, like they had in season 1, and I'd hoped they would have developed the virus arc they way they developed the bomb arc in Season 1.

This season should have fit on two disks, maybe three if you include the deleted scenes and commentary. Each disk had no more than three episodes, and they could have put the entire season on two disks. They did include commentaries on the episodes as well as deleted scenes. But the real reason I gave this two stars was the fact they picked up all the unaired scenes off the cutting room floor to fill up a fourth disk. In addition to that, while they showed how they originally planned to finish out the second half of the season, Tim Kring's smug comment (and his not looking at the camera) about the show moving in a different direction, and now the only place to find this lost footage was to buy the DVD really disturbed me.

Maybe they realized they'd written themselves into a corner, and decided to scrap the second half of the season because it would be too hard for them to finish the season properly.

I had hoped that Season three would have fleshed out the virus storyline in more detail. However, they smugly explained the fact all they needed to change was the scene where Peter stopped the vial from shattering, and so ended the virus arc. To make matters worse, they included all ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Just sit back & enjoy
Was season 1 better than season 2? Yes. The novelty of a new show and the curiosity of where it will go will do that. Was it a shame that there were fewer episodes? Of course. More is always better. Was this a bad season (to the degree that many have put it)? No. There was a plot, a catastrophe to avert and a villain to stop (albeit a villain who I feel was depicted to be alot more fearsome and intimidating than he should have been considering his non-threatening ability). New characters were introduced. Old characters had their own personal issues to contend with in the midst of everything. Sure, it could have been better if there were more than 11 episodes. I wouldn't say extremely better because it wasn't a bad season. So just enjoy the season for what it has to offer, knowing that it is leading into what should be a thrill ride of a season in season 3.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Struck by the strike
I think it's really funny how hard people have been on the second season. I mean, the show's production was practically shut down due to the writers' strike, and as a result they had to try to squeeze 23 episodes worth of material into a mere 11. Not an admirable task, obviously, but all things considered, I think they did as good of a job as anyone could. A show like this, with its intricate detail and myriad twists and turns really needs as much breathing room as possible, and it is certainly lamentable that the writers didn't have the time table that they really needed.

However, despite its brevity, they still managed to pack a lot of goodness in. The second season introduces new characters, brings forth new revelations to the old ones, and shows that everyone's favorite villian, Sylar, is far from out of the way (maybe even a bigger threat than ever).

So hey, before you pan this automatically, ask yourself: how much could YOU do with 11 episodes? As a writer myself, I'm pretty sure I couldn't have done nearly this well. Anyway, season 3 looks to be amazing, so misstep or not, one of television's best shows is certainly not done for yet.





Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Remember High School? Remember sophomore year? ...
Heroes season 2 is equal to Sophomore year in High School. You're not the "newbie" anymore (the "new car smell" has worn off), nor are you the BMOC. You're just "there", living through another day.

That's what is happening in Heroes season 2.

Yes, there are only 11 episodes - curse those writers for actually wanting to get PAID a fair wage for doing their work - but that happened with season 2.0 and 2.5 on the Battlestar Galactica DVD's as well.

See, all of you can STOP complaining now, because the "glitch" has been explained! Deal with it. Plot enrichment comes at a price, and the price is that we just have to WAIT. So, take your ADHD meds and settle down. The 3rd season will be starting up again very soon.
