So now that they are releasing in Blu-ray, will they release the first season in Blu-ray? I thought the first was in HD-DVD.

And what about Bourne Ultimatum and other great movies, when will they all be re-released on Blu???

Don't know. I know Universal is releasing some of the films they had out on HD-DVD to Blu ray, like American Gangster, 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Transformers etc. I didn't see Bourne or Heroes Season 1 on the list though. I'm sure the Bourne films will come out.
ABC release Lost on Blu Ray for the 3rd season but they have still to release the other 2, samething with WB for Smallville and HBO with The Sopranos. I think TV series won't get the re-release to Blu Ray not now anyways, just the films.

I don't know what the price is but they better make it half price for a half a season and a lame half of season on top of that. I know the writers strike killed the 2nd season but that's why I don't think we should be charged full season price no matter how much bonus crap they put in it.

No desire to own this season. If I want to watch the Heroes journey across the country to get together for the last episode I'll re-watch season one. Season 3 better start strong with people together and knowing what they want and stay there or I'm done. Watch Lost Kring. Every season's focus is different and entertaining. We get it. They have powers and that's weird for everyone. Now do something with it. This is supposed to be a comic book!

If they really want to make people happy, just forget the first half of the season. Condense it into a 1 hour clip show, then pick up in the 2nd half when the show got good again.

Wow, I actually enjoyed season 2. Way better than the Finale of season 1.

Oh and thanks hanso(lo) for the info. (Just thought of han solo for the first time when seeing your name.)

almost, I’ve already established that Season One was better so let it go. Sheesh.

No doubt the Season One Finale was a bit of a letdown. But the Season One build up IMO was absolutely great. Maybe having the finale peter out like that made starting at virtually square one in Season Two so frustrating. There was a whole ‘nother half a season planned so who knows how I’d’ve felt if I got the entire experience. But since I didn’t I do stand by my disappointment.

Gotta remember, they didn't get a real chance to flesh out the season, so I have faith season 3 will rock.

fft5305 • Jun 14, 2008, 03:07pm •
I also feel like season 3 will rock. They tried to stray from the formula in the beginning of season 2. Once they took a break, listened to the feedback, and realized it wasn't working, they got back to form and kicked ass.

I guess I am in the minority with almost in that I enjoyed Season 2. I will concede that somethings started off a bit too slow and they tried to do alot. But for the most part, I enjoyed it.

And like joey pointed, its hard to really judge the season when it was only really half a one. But I enjoyed what we got. I just gotta catch up on the graphic novels
