Heroes

[SWMAN]

So, I have just finished the first season of Heroes, and I can honestly say it is one of my most favorite TV shows out there. The stories, characters, themes, and acting are all stellar. I am amazed at what they have done with this series and how deep it can get. I am excited about watching season 2, but have heard that it is kind of lame. Any comments about this? Still, I will watch to continue the story. I love how they are all connected together and how you don't really know who is good and who is a villain right away. Anybody here love this show?

I love season 1, especially "homecoming" onwards. Favorite episodes are "5 years gone" (45 minutes of sheer awesome badass ness) and "company man." I found "how to stop..." a little disappointing though.

season 2 is a bit boring, and there's too much of the same elements that bored me in S1

season 3 while mostly good is a bit all over the place in terms of retcons and writing and character development

While Season 2 is a little muddled, you have to remember that it was done during the writer's strike. Season 3 is proving to be a belter so far!

"Company Man" and "5 Years Later" were truly bad-megablocks. I also loved "How to Stop an Exploding Man" a lot. So far I have watched two episodes of Season 2 on Netflix (don't recommend it, the quality is really crappy) and it isn't that bad. I am sad that there are only 9 more for me to watch and then I have to wait to rent season 3.

I think Heroes is a great series, really.

I love the character Peter Petrelli, he rulez

I liked Season 2 as well, it's just really short.

And a few story-lines weren't as interesting as the rest, but it was still okay.

I think I will be waiting patiently till I can see Season 3 in Holland, legally

How can I put this kindly without spoilers? Season 3 sucks. I quite liked the first two seasons though.

Heroes is a good show and I watch it on BBC2.

Season 1 was great, really fantastic. The show felt so fresh and exciting, and so untapped with potential, that it's a shame the second series was such a disaster. Things have picked up this year again, but the writing is inconsistent and the characters are incredibly tedious.

The show's creator Tim Kring said originally he wanted to have a new cast/new characters every season- this would've been so much better.

I think season 1 was great, 2 was a bit bad in places and 3 is so far ok, a mixture of amazing bits but also some ruining of characters too. There hasn't been an episode without this annoying problem so far in the season as far as I can tell. Oh well.

Also I dislike the 6 degrees of separation everyone fits in.

[SWMAN]

Thanks for all the input guys. I am sad Season 2 sounds kind of bad, but I will watch optimistically.

Also, quick question Lord Thrawn. What is your Signature.

It's some Elites from Halo Wars starting their attack.

I'm looking forward to Heroes tonight, should be interesting following last week.

Last nights episode was good.

[Athos]

Season 1 was good. Season 2 not so much. I think it had to do with the writers strike. So much felt rushed and undone. Certain things that were foreshadowed never really happened. I haven't seen Season 3 yet.

I just finished Season 2, and it wasn't as bad as I thought. It did feel really short though.

Saving the world this time felt a little rushed.

I am looking forward to watching Season 3. If you have a fast internet connection and subscribe to Netflix, I would recommend watching episodes on there. You an watch all 3 seasons, new episodes are added a few days after they are on TV, and you don't have to pay extra to watch them, unlike if you watched through iTunes.

Edit: So, I am now almost caught up in Season 3. All I have left is the two Eclipse Episodes. I do have to say Season 3 is great, just very confusing. The series was a lot more straight-forward the first 2 Seasons. I still love it, but you have pay a lot more attention to what is going on.

I don't think that a completely new cast would be that good. Then each season would be separate, and their wouldn't be any connections of continuing stories or mythology. I like that new characters are added, but I also like that they keep most of the same characters.
