My biggest complaint about this season, and I know many others have the same, is that it was too short. The Hiro storyline was a bit too long, the Peter storyline was a bit unnecessary, but I did like the Nathan storyline. Mind you, I didn't hate the whole Peter storyline, just the part when he's in Ireland. Overall, the season left me wondering how good it would have been had there not been a strike and they could have done a real season two. I know a lot of people became disillusioned because of its length and the fact they couldn't tell the correct story for the length of the season. I didn't hate the season, but of the three that I've seen, this is the weakest of the bunch. However, it is definitely worth watching.

I'm only now trying to get caught up with this show. I grabbed the HD-DVDs of season 1 and started watching it about 8 months ago (give or take). By the time I finished it, I felt like I'd really watched something that was truly epic in scope and in ambition. The acting, writing, and emotional drama were all far above average, and "above average" is not faint praise. I was pretty excited to move on to season 2. Three years out, I'd forgotten about the writer's strike, so I can forgive the brevity that first annoyed me, but what I can't forgive is that they seemed to compensate for the upcoming strike by jamming epic ambitions into a novella. Every store felt undercooked, incomplete, and rushed (I can overlook that for every scene with West in it, though, I watched those at 1.5x speed). I wanted to see more Nikki/Jessica (rushing in that 3rd personality was ridiculous), more of Micha's cousins, more Parkman, less of the brother and sister trying to get to NY, and on and on.
To make a comparison-- The Return of the King felt longer and more dull in the theatrical release than the extended cut because it felt like it was jumping from one thing to the next, trying to tie up too many loose ends too quickly without ever gaining its footing. Heroes Season 2 feels that same way-- that it's in a big rush to get to a clearly inevitable conclusion, too many parallel stories that don't meet, and, overall, the impending doom element just wasn't as threatening as the blast in Season 1. It was just very unsatisfying. I'd have rather that they told a truncated, but well paced story instead of making a mad dash to the final, anticlimactic episode. Of course, how do you beat the conclusion of Season 1? I don't think you can :)

After watching Season 1 I just couldn't wait for Season 2. It's non stop action and the plots are convoluted enough to keep me on the edge of my seat. The characters are really well defined & I can't wait until I buy Season 3.

Honestly even though this season got a mixed reaction out of some fans season 2 of Heroes wasn't too bad. Maybe it was a bit slower than season 1 but this second season has enough promising material that kept me interested and willing to watch more. This season picks up four months after the 1st season where the heroes are trying to pick up their lives but for some characters things are getting even more complex like when peter wakes up with amnesia and HRG and Mohinder trying to bring down the coampany not to mention Hiro being trapped in the past and must help his so-called " heroe' Takezo kensei actually become the heroe Hiro learned to worship during his childhood but this quest makes a dramatic turn mid-way and without giving anything away for those may not have seen it yet it has a very large impact later on in the season. The plot still contains lots of fascianting storytelling drama excitment suspense action and intrigue and some revelations and shocking plot twists as well. The second half of this season is electrifying like this season's new bad girl Elle's power and contains just as much as excitment and intensity and smart bold and inventive writing as the last season with an explosive and smart finale which finishes off the season quite nicely. The DVD is a good buy fot Heroes fans the episodes are great and it's always fun to be able watch a whole set of episodes instead of just one . Overall this season is a must-see for fans of the 1st season of Heroes there are some very stunning shocking and well- concoted episodes like" Four months ago" and " Cautionary tales" and let's not forget " powerless ". So if you Like Heroes and wanna see some more buy this DVD ignore the bad reviews and form your own opinion and let yourself enjoy it because this season of Heroes is alot better than the bad review let on .
