Heroes - Season Two (Possible Spoliers)

[Blackride]

Good article Kenny. Nice to know I am not the only one who thinks this season is slipping. It seems others may feel this way as reflected in the ratings. Hopefully we will see it pick up soon.

Are the rest of you rooting for Mr. Bennett?  I don't want him to get shot.

If Nicki were to die, sigh, the show would still be ok.

The networks tell us to stay off the pirate sites and watch our shows on their sites; that often don't work.  The pirate sites work!  I always thought the networks should hire the pirates to run the network's websites.

Youtube techniqually isn't a pirate site.  But yea, they at least work, even if the quality isn't that great.  NBC and CBS need to rework it.

Man...how do you stop someone that is practically invincible?  This will be interesting. I say Cheerleader VS Samurai VS Confused Person...lol  "The battle of the gods!!"

LOL

I liked this week's show but have to say I was also a bit disappointed in it.  I expected more to be shown just after the big fight in the plaza.  They didn't show how Sylar got away.  Also, DL surviving and then later getting shot again was frankly dumb and not needed.  He managed to let the guy's punch pass through him but not a bullet??  Come on.  It would of been much better dramatically for him to of died right after the big boom.  Also, how did Peter really survive that?  I mean he can heal and everything but that was a lot to heal from and he seemed perfectly fine seconds later.  Last, the Wonder Twins need to go.  I see no point in them and the fact fact that she is killing a lot of people isn't helping me like them anymore.  I did like the stuff with Peter, Adam and Elle (she's a bit nutty).  Anyway, I'm still a fan but I think they are making some dramatic mistakes this year now.

They said last night only 3 episodes left.  Do you think they are modifying the story lines because of the strike ?  Yeah, I'm getting tired of "plague girl" too.   She wipes an entire wedding party and nobody is reporting this ?   With the other heroes, their impact was low-key but this kid is a WMD.   Electro b**h - a little too SM for me.

They have always said that this story would end mid season that the story wasn't going to run the entire season like last year. Now that there is a strike they did go back and re-tool the last episode so it would serve as a season finale and as the finale of the current storyline. If things continue to go the way they are with the strike then in three episodes we will see the season finale.

Also, DL surviving and then later getting shot again was frankly dumb and not needed.  He managed to let the guy's punch pass through him but not a bullet??  Come on. 
It would of been much better dramatically for him to of died right after the big boom.

They have shown in past episodes that DL phases when he knows something is going to happen.. like when Niki shot him and then the second bullet went through his head because he was expecting it. The guy pulled the guy and shot in a matter of seconds.. they slow motioned it but it still happened in a matter seconds and he didn't have time to phase.

As for him dying from his previous injuries.. I like that he did not. They had to have a reason for Niki going to "The Company" and she is the reason that DL was killed.

Also, how did Peter really survive that?  I mean he can heal and everything but that was a lot to heal from and he seemed perfectly fine seconds later.

Peter's body didn't explode... I see it as he is in the center of the explosion, it radiates from him or from his skin rather. Remember Ted did quite a bit of radiation and it never effected him, and when he almost went nuclear he was fine after that.

Last, the Wonder Twins need to go.  I see no point in them and the fact fact that she is killing a lot of people isn't helping me like them anymore.

Okay I agree with you on this on Rico... not liking the wonder twins so far but I'm willing to see where they go. Tim Kring has admitted that he has taken a chance this season and it did not pay off.. He has said that if they come back after mid season things will change.. but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. So will have to wait till next season for the changes.

I still think this TV series if far above most TV shows and I'm loving every minute of it.

[Rico]

Yeah - I recall Ted not being affected by his radiation now more.  They just made it seem for so many episodes that Peter going nuclear was such a huge thing that I thought it might of hurt him some.

I know DL needed time to react to a gun shot at him, but just moments before he reacted just fine to someone tossing a punch at him - a much quicker action by far than pulling gun out and firing it.  My bigger problem is the impact of his death due to that.  It reminded me of Kirk dying in Generations from a fall.  Not very dramatic or particularly heroic.  Now, if DL had stepped in front of the gun to save Nikki and didn't phase because if he did she would of been hit - much better I think.

Anyway, I still really like the show and it has great potential.  But some of these little details that could be so much better are bugging me a little.

[KingIsaacLinksr]

How are you going to end this show with only 3 episodes??  There is way too much left to explain.  I'll admit that the Wonder Twins need to die, they aren't needed.  And what the heck, the bullet kills him??  I mean, can his body just not handle high-speeds??  Its an incredibly poor way to kill him.  His powers aren't that great if a bullet can kill him but not fire or wall.  But otherwise, its a great episode, much better than it has been.

Although there story has been so-so up to now, the Wonder twins power is VERY spooky and kinda disturbing, so in that respect I give the writers props. I also thought that DL getting shot again was lame. I'm glad Peter is out and about, his whole not remembering his powers was getting old.

[space_invader64]

I thought this one was good but not really nessessery.  I enjoyed it but I wanted to see some more of the clare story line which I guess is comming next week.

[jedijeff]

I agree that it would have been nice to see DL go out in a bit more grand style, but I guess as well, he went through a lot of major things, to come to end in a disagreement at a club might have been the point the writers wanted to make. It was nice to see that he was able to fulfill his Hero promise to Micha by saving the girl in the fire.
I think they have dragged the wonder twins story on far to long, I have not learned anything more from the first time I saw them until this epsiode. I think we all had gathered that she had done something bad, so last nights episode was really no surprise. Hopefully this story with Sylar turns it interesting, as I am really having a tough time seeing where their powers fit in.
The Peter/Adam story has me really thinking. The episode before they had left me with the thought that Adam was bad after his time spent with Hiro and him behind taking out the people in the pictures. After last night, he seems good, and a poor soul held against his will. I like how this story is going, and glad that Peter has got his memory back. I like how they work the Haitian into these stories, and how he is helping them out in his own special way.

[Darth Gaos]

Yes, the moral "gray area" this year is huge....who is good and who is bad...is there good and bad?  It will be interesting to see where it leads but to wrap it up in only 3 more episodes????  I have a hard time seeing that, so hopefully the writers were on their game.

And was Mama Patrelli doing something to Nathans wife or was she just being creppy touchy feely?

And was Mama Patrelli doing something to Nathans wife or was she just being creppy touchy feely?

Yeah I wasn't sure about that.. might be her power to persuade people like Eden. Or it could just be creepy touchy feely thing.. it could go either way with her.
