NBC: Heroes - Season 2 Official Thread
This should make things a tad easier.
Kinda cool that Kristen Bell is gonna be on the series, even if its for a short arc. And what happened to the oft-talked-about second Heroes series that NBC touted which would focus on other characters in which one or more would make the transition to the main series? |

It's happening partway through this season, when the show would normally just be repeating old episodes.

as i said to the 1st failed "official season 2" thread that saldana fortunately deleted, i'm posting in the other Heroes thread. no need to have a new thread for every season.
and what's with this "official" nonsense? you can't just throw that word around. |

I didn't read any of the comics over the summer, was there anything ground breaking that I missed and I will be somewhat lost for the first few episodes?

As I'm catching up on all of the online comics, I notice there are several "episodes" that have blacked out lines. Is there a trick or secret to viewing what is underneath the blacked out lines?

Chapter 27 has quite a bit of it, but some of the earlier ones had it as well.

Those black lines in 27 are because of the document they are on.
That is some sort of official government document and it looks like they have blacked out certain details to keep them classified. That sort of thing is not in every episode, just those dealing with that certain story line. |

I figured that is what it was. I just wasn't sure if there was some secret way to view the underlying text.

IMHO the online comics added a ton of flavor to the on-air episodes and are must-read. Glad they've kept it up.

Now that I'm finally reading them, I agree. All of these backstories are very interesting. Also, I think the second season will disappoint relatively speaking, but I think it will still be good TV. |

You know what, I love the rhythm of the name Matt Parkman for some reason. I wish that was my name. I am completely serious.

I did not enjoy it tonight. Found it boring. Wonder if this is going to be a show which gets old after one season.

Opposite for me. I enjoyed it. I fully expected it would take some time for them to flesh out the characters and everyone's state of mind after the climax of last season. Just like last year, I thought the show did a good job of pacing. Giving away a secret here and a secret there, while opening up questions at the same time. I've heard a lot of people who had the same opinion as you. I dunno. I liked it. |

I also enjoyed it. Thought it was very engrossing. First to see what everyone was doing and and then teasing us with some mysteries (like who's the hooded guy and what sequence of events led to what happened at the end of the episode!)

I'm not disappointed, but I expected things would start slowly and hopefully they'll ramp up.
More to the point, I just had to comment to say that those were three of the WORST Irish accents I have ever heard. |

I'm really intrigued by the new villain who doesn't really want to be a villain. I really can't wait to see the full extent of her powers or where that storyline is leading (who does she go after first?). It was a really good "restart" episode... if you were expecting more I could see where you might not have liked it as much.

I would have liked so explanation as to what happened with Sylar. The company seems to think that Sylar was killed with the help of Mohinder but I doubt anyone found a body so I am not sure why anyone would assume he is dead.

Same. Kind of similar to the 1st season in that respect. But I think some people wanted it to be all balls to the wall from the 1st episode.

This is a major sticking point for my wife, why were the writers lazy? Was he supposed to die, but didn't because the audience like his character? Why would everyone think that he is dead when there is no body left behind? Other than that, the episode did well to setup a 2nd season. Looking forward to the next one. |

Hooray for Nissan paying to keep the opener low on commercial breaks, but BOOOOOO to the producers for the in-show commercial for that ugly suv-wannabe monstrosity. Here, Claire, you can have the keys to this chunk of shit.
And big ups for using The Clash in the commercial. |

I think they saw the blood smear and figured he crawled into the sewers to die (it was a lot of blood). I think he's going to show up this season, but they want to keep a bit of mystery .

Still a stretch for them to travel all that way without making sure the body was dead and cold. I forgive it. Mystery is what this show is all about. I enjoyed the teasers with Sylar in them. |

Alright episode. Hard to tell at the beginning of a season, but it didn't do anything to really grab me yet. However, it did have enough to entertain me. I'm curious to see how the Molly/Parkman/Mohinder aspect plays out. I liked how Claire and her dad both downplayed the eventful days. I like how Hiro accidentally altered the history of his hero. I'm worried that he'll be stuck in the past, caught up in his own hijinks for too much of the season though.

I wasn't disappointed at all with this episode. I thought it was on par with most of the episodes from last season, although not as good as some of the best ones last year.

Maybe it was my eyesight but did the 'new baddie' guy that the Irish found (assuming he's a baddie cause of his necklace / pendant)not look very similar to Peter?

He didn't have a scar, however, so did he heal up, or is this an impostor?

I thought it was decent. I figured things would start a litle slow and take some time to ramp up.
I thought it was ok. I liked the Parkman and Molly scenes the best. It's good to see Mohinder have some teeth and be less stupid. Yay for Needle Nose Ned and his transmutation powers! Hiro needs to be with Ando. I like them better as a duo. The confrontation between Sulu and his killer was pathetically lame.
