HEROES: Setting The Record Straight

Chapter 2 did start slowly, I could have done without the Mexican whiny twins and a little shorter "Hiro in the past" arc, but I liked the season and Peter's journey.

Is anyone watching Moonlight? I watched three episodes and they were absolutely horrible.

I thought Chapter 2 of Heroes was great. Yes, it had its problems( the twins, some slower pacing on occasion), but over all, it was just another great chapter. I am looking forward to a repowered Sylar. He is such an evil person. In a way, he`s actually more evil now than he was in the first season. I always thought that the power he consumed amped up his psychoticness but it has nothing to do with his powers. He is just pure evil. If he didn`t have powers, he probably end up being some crazed serial killer anyway. I`m hoping Nathan and Nikki aren`t dead. Nikki wasn't as interesting, but Nathan was great.
People complain about the strike and all, with good reason but its not like anything has changed too much right now. This is about the time where most shows would go off until January anyway. The problem will be in January when some shows don`t come back. That`s when I`ll be pissed.
And I`ll put it out there right now and say as much as I am a big fan of Smallville( I know most on here are not), I think this is the last season. The episodes apart from the season premiere and the one with Lara, have seriously been lacking. They seemed to have taken giant steps back from Season 5, which was awesome and Season 6 which had a lot of good moments. They have reverted back to the bad high school episodes of wannabee Dawson`s Creek type themes with out the Shawn Colbin music. The funny thing is the only bright spot is actually Clark. He seems to be growning as an adult into his soon to be Superman persona as everyone around him has become the annoying teens again. Thank Jebus they have left Kara out for awhile. While I like the eye candy, she is a terrible actress. Just plain bad. Some of the eps this season would have been more bareble with a better SuperGirl. Its like she went to the Keanu Reeves, 5hr acting school and got a C-. (Sorry Keanu, you are the man!)
I watched one episode of Moonlight, but that`s all I could stand.
I miss Chuck and am very happy Supernatural is back on this week.

You know, I liked this season of Heros. I thought the Hiro in the past business was interesting and if we hadn't spent time with Adam Monroe in the past we wouldn't appreciate where he was coming from in the present. I'd kind of like to see what he was up to 100, 200 and 300 years ago that made him the psycho he is today.

I liked Monica and West and since they were shown in assiciation with Micha and Claire, characters we cared about from last season, I can't see how anybody could object to them.

The Wonder twins could have used a little less build up, we knew what their deal was the first time they were shown so watching Maya kill people with her power and cry about it got repetative. But since they were trying to convince the audience that Maya might be the source of this plague that was coming I can see what they were trying to do. And once they met up with Syler the interest factor ratcheted right up there!

The business with Mr Bennett and Mohinder infultrating the Company was quite good, though Mohinder is such an inocent it's difficult to believe the savy Bennett would trust him not to get corrupted.

Matt, Nathan, Nikki and Peter were all interesting. I really don't know what people are complaining about. I think chapter 2 rocked!

I've see a few episodes of Moonlight, it's not too bad. According to what I've read it's gotten a lot better than the dismal premier episode.

Looking forward to Supernatural.

I guess until January it's just going to be me and the Food Network in the evening, all the genre dramas are going on hiatus.

Somehow, I was a little suspicious of Nikki's death scene. And exploion seen from outside. Probably won't be a body found and authorities will assume that's because of the explosion. It seemed like they were alreasy setting the table for a return.

I wonder her personalties don't always take on the same damage. I remember the Kensei tatoo that only appeared when Jessica was in control. Maybe that's an aspect of her power, and maybe that could negate the virus. Nikki would have the virus, Jessica or the other one would not. So she'd return but not be Nikki anymore.

Nathan's scene felt more like adeath scene, but we've been there beore. And the Company could always use Claire or Adam's blood to heal him again. That might even have been a condition of Bennet's agreement, so Claire's birth father wouldn't have to die for doing what she'd intended to do.

I'm more interested in where they go with Matt from here. And of course Sylar. I wonder if Claire's blood might permanently give Sylar the ability to heal sense he already has the ability to take other peoples powers by "seeing how they work".

Loved how Hiro dealt with Adam Monroe and loved the battle between hiro and Peter. And Matt finally got a big role in the A-plot.

I loved the way he and Nathan worked together. They're so different but they have a similar since of how odd this superpower stuff is and they play well off each other.

I thought Matt should've used his new power on Adam, since that would've been more likely to work than on Peter who could fight back the way Matt did with his father.

Cool seeing Peter use Ted's power to save the world this time, since it was what almost blew up New york last time.

I too enjoyed this season. I'm far from cynical when I watch tv so even if something is a little corny or doesn't make sense I let it slide and just enjoy it. Like Peter not just walking through the vault or reading Adam's mind to find out his true intentions.

I actually liked Maya's story. As you can tell by my name I'm hispanic so it was cool to have them on the show. It also helped to receive the Wireless emails that hinted at her powers all summer. Monica was cool too but they definitley should have had her kick some more ass at the end. She had the power and didn't use it.

But I do think this show needs a shot of adrenaline. We are always teased with action scenes and they never happen. The story telling is great, just please get my heart thumping a bit and I'll be completely happy.

Given, I had already thought the thought "We don't know they're dead or dead permanently," you're right, we didn't need to hear it from him. If they come back, let us be relatively surprised. Nikki...[shrug]...whatever... but maybe some new personality will have emerged with a different kick butt ability, other than her most recent one of "Superslut." Nathan... he's a great character and I would to see more of him, but I must say, 3 shots to the chest looked pretty final, even if it's not.

To make Sylar a tad more interesting and unpredicatable, I wish that Sylar had lost his acquired powers and had to gain new ones. But that's fairly minor.

#3: We cared about Micah? ;-) Actually, I do like Monica a lot better than him; I like that she wans't always confident, especially being fairly young. West is ok and obviously if the fam is staying in Costa Verde there will be some tension with Noah still working with the company.

And as someone mentioned in another article, I'll make some real progress with my Netflix queue in the next couple months. It might be a good time to invest in their stock.

8.5 hours until I AM LEGEND!

O`Doyles Rule!

Anyone else seen the last few episodes of Dexter. Pretty friggin awesome. Love the Doakes and Dexter rapport.

This Generations arc of Heroes was a wasted opportunity. Yes, there were some great things. But, looking back, this entire set of 11(?) episodes would have worked much better if it had been compressed into just 2-3 installments.

We didn't need as much of Maja and her bro on the run. They could have started at the wedding (the only cool part of their storyline) and jumped forward to Sylar.

Clair and the Dud, I mean, West had no chemistry. We would have had a lot less of Clair weeping (that's getting old) and more action that way.

Did we really need to see how much of a dick Mohindar is? His first two or three stupid moves would have sufficed.

The cool stuff with CopyCat ended after her first episode. Then that story got degraded with a quest to retrieve a comic book? Please.

I could go on. The best things of the season (Matt's fight with his dad, HRG's trip to Russia, the break-in in Texas) should have been the highlights and cliffhangers of the first three episodes. Then we would have been charged and ready for EIGHT more intricate chapters with a lot more use of special powers (which is always the best part).

Fortunately, the show is not in a nosedive. But this new pace needs to be maintained.

This season was great. It was on par with last season, and I'm anxiously awaiting the next chapter.
Monica's quest was not for a comic book. If you watch the show, you should've known that she was after DL's medal he was awarded for saving lives as a fireman. It was Micah's only and most prized possession that belonged to his dad.
I hope it doesn't get re-written into an action series. I like the pace, and enjoy the drama that ensues around these everyday folks, who are thrust into extraordinary situations. (having super powers)
