I see this show potentially going down the Lost road, piling too many plot lines and questions on top of each other to the point where the mysteries are so plentiful they lose their importance and you just want them to be answered for the sake of getting them out of the way in the hope that a better show lies beyond them.

On a more optimistic note this may be the ‘necessary evil’ to just re-establish characters for new audiences who just started watching. Next few episodes might explode with the reappearance of Sylar and maybe a rematch between him peter, or maybe Sylar will seize opportunity with Peters memory loss condition and befriends him and molds him into an evil Peter so he has an equally powerful ally to fight and absorb the new power that is apparently worse than him. (he could find out by spying on the girl who can see him in her nightmares and peacing together her pictures with his own future paintings)

I just thought of those ideas off the top of my head (maybe they are predictable, bad and cheesy) but at least they are more interesting than the style of adding more and more uninteresting mysteries on top of old ones rather than answering them with dramatic consequences to develop the story and its characters

I want dramatic progression not confusing prolongations!

SYLAR: Why the hell should I listen to you. You ate a bunch of brains and killed your own mom!!

Yawn: This is a blog I write with my pal Erin. It is almost entirely TV reviews and recaps. I’ll be reviewing every episode of Heroes this season.

I’m not quite as ready to give up as you are, but I am pretty concerned that maybe they blew through all their good ideas in the first season and now they’re just scrambling to come up with something interesting. The finale was lacking something special as a conclusion, and this premiere had an unfortunate empty feeling to it.

I agree with you on some of the fight scenes, too. It’s weird that, even with the show’s success, it still has a bit of a low-budget feel to it. It drives me crazy how dark so many of the scenes are. Mohinder’s New York apartment, especially — turn a damn lamp on.

“I don’t think the Heroes should gang up on Sylar, let them do it the macho way, 1on1.”

“Oh, unlike the apocalyptic past Hiro saw, lets leave the City unscratched by not having them use earth shattering fireballs and just duke it out”

I just needed to get something off my chest:

Holy (#*@ this show sucks so much now!!!!

The season finale sucked and I was hoping the writers had enough time to remove the suckyness. Boy was I wrong. S2e1 was so bland and generic that I had to watch it side by side with porn. Only to not fall asleep and so that I’m too worked up to change channels.

Feudal japan?? Historical figure is not all that he/she is cracked out to be? are u kidding me. How overdone is that. That ‘time traveler took the role of an would be important figure in history that would make him an important figure in history’ is sooooo overused. I even read it in Archie comics once. There are countless of Cartoon, anime that used this trite concept.

Hiro’s time travelling have dissapointed me to the point that I might not like Hiro anymore in coming episodes, if not already. I’d hope he’ll materialize inside a building or a deep ocean next time he TT.

I would think someone who can stop time is like…invincible. Who didn’t wish him dead when he didn’t kill sylar in back episodes @ sylar’s moms house????? He had enough frickin time.

This show is for 13 year olds and below, it basically should offend intellectually anyone over that age. The fighting is so…scripted and based on conveniences. The story generic and stretched.

I’ll watch it if only to turn it off.

Your saying this episode was good because you cant answer anything but you know.. rarely anything gets answers in heroes anyway so this doesnt apply.. and the very same parts you said it was interesting I found them dull. Must be because im not a fanatic anymore ( probably the 3-4 months of no heroes lapse ).

Ill just check next episode.. and decide if ill watch the rest, (ill save 24 hours of my life weee!)
