I think most of Volume 2 was okay, the weak point was the New Orleans storyline, I hated them the most, and I just wanted to punch that freaky obese brat cousin of Micah's dead (hope somebody kills him soon). Alejandro and Maya could be used for something more, but here they're used just to help Sylar get back to New York and nothing more it's kinda disappointing to see Sylar just offs them in the last few episodes. And yeah, the Claire Heroes 90210 storyline was weak at the beginning, but at least West turned into a cool (and useful) character in the last few episodes, not like the useless kid he was in the beginning of Volume 2.

Parkman got a nice storyline with a progression of power from mind reading to mind control, and the introduction of Adam Monroe as a new villain was uber-cool. Since Hiro just decided to bury him alive and not slice his head off so he could be gone for good, I am 100% sure that Adam will be back for revenge on later episodes. Niki should stay dead with the rest of the New Orleans gang, as for Nathan I do think that he should still be kept alive (but please don't keep bringing dead characters alive, or just bring D.L. back already coz he's cool).

As for Peter, yeah, lightning's cool. Now why don't you try using Ted Sprague's powers again, Pete, like shooting nuclear bolts from your hands?

So I was way excited for Kristen Bell joining! They should continue her storyline, now as for the wonder twins, neither of them should be back.
And Sylar got back his powers, how cool is that!

I really liked Mohinder in Season 1 but he seems to have suffered some loss of clarity. I wish he'd regain some of his philosophical insight. Peter got a little confused too and Nathan helped give him resolution but then there goes Nathan. Durn. And now is Mr. Bennet getting mixed up too? Noooooo! I'm getting seasick. And who is in the Company besides Bob? What is their point besides keeping secrets and fighting Adam? Guess we might have to wait a long time to find out. Sigh.

I like Adam and Elle! Great additions! But I did not like Nathan getting shot (and possibly dying). I watch Heroes for Nathan and Peter! And I agree that it would look really stupid if Nathan died considering Peter's his brother and Claire's his daughter. Either could help him.

BRING NATHAN BACK!!!

I think the Volume 2 was not what most of us whould have expected. And the end is also disapointing since what all happend was leading the story in to the Volume 1. I think this company thing should go off and something new should come up... Lets hope for the bets in Volume 3

The final episode in Volume II was complete rubbish. Honestly, the storyline wrapped up way to quickly, I guess compensating for the very sluggish beginning. All character story arc's built up to that?! Monica/Niki/Micah with Niki's (death) who cares, give 'em a shot o' Claires blood! Nathans gunshot wound, another syringe of blood please, and Elles slow progression to a 'Hero' is forced ( like we need another good guy!) Oh and Sylars power return: Boo! He had a great run in Volume 1, try coming up with a new villan guys...Something need to be retooled, that Season (Volume) just fell apart...

i would like to know why exactly are the episodes stoping?? why is the strike happening, i can't wait to contiue Heroes episodes. Hiro Nakamura the BEST!!!!

Oh come on. Don't bring anyone to live once more. let Nathan go.

yeah, the storyline went away a little bit too fast compared to season 1. I really expected more than this from the second season. Is it mainly because of the strike?

Loooove Adam! He's a great addition, so hopefully we'll see more of him. But the New Orleans storyline.. seemed so very much apart, like it's not even connected to the core plot line.

Hope season 3 will a blast!

Season two fell way short of Season 1's high mark. I agree with most that the entire New Orleans and the Maya/Alejendro storylines were a COMPLETE waist of time. And the whole Claire/West thing simply made me want to shoot myself. (This kid (West) just cannot act!) However, there were some good highlights of this season that are noteworthy. Such as Peter and his memory and the virus. But there are way to many questions left unanswered for this season to be really good at all. "Will Nathan die?"(Probably not) "Why didn't Peter go to the future after he remembered who he was and how to control his powers?" "Or even after he re met Hiro?" Darn those writers.

Loved Elle, great addition there all in all I think she was the best thing that happened this season. Maya and Alejandro I could have done without. Every time I saw them I was like, here we go again... ugh. Ya know I never really did get all that sentimental to Niki, so I don't mind seeing her go, but if Jessica comes back like the rumors say then that might be cool. She's a good actress but her Niki/Jessica thing really bored me. DL's death was super lame. I know the concept behind it but it was just so unnecessary, and avoidable.... uh phase... your staring right at the guy. And Hiro in the past, like Kring said, too long, but ya know I've already forgot about that and really it makes the Hiro/Adam dynamic a bit more real, if it was only 3 episodes as suggested it might have been a bit less believable.

Really looking forward to in Season 3:
1. Freaking Mad Adam
2. Jessica fragging people with her bare hands
3. Sylar slicing some more heads

Heroes is by far one of the best TV series that has come around in the past few years.

Season 1 was absolutely phenominal and has mademe a fan of this show for life.

Season 2 was a little rocky and not that well thought out imo. But it is still a good continuation of the story we were told in Season 1.

I agree with most the the New Orleans crew is absolutely rediculous. Monica serves no realy purpose and imo should be killed off.

Micah has so much potential in this show and Im surprised that they havent utilized him more.

With Niki being gone, the hotness factor in the show has really went down, but the addition of Elle has made it to where its not such a sausagefest.

I hope Micah's rude, fat, little cousin gets hit by a car. I really dont understand why so many people like D.L. he was a subpar character and not really that interesting.

The Hiro and Adam story made this season for me. The way Adam harbors his grudge for 400 years absolutely screams supervillian. He has learned the art of manipulation and utilizes it to perfection. I cant wait to see what new evils Adam has in store for us when he gets excavated from the cemetary.

Matt has always been one of my favorite characters, and Im really happy that he is growing in his power.

I cant believe they killed off Nathan. He was by far one of the best characters in the entire series and while him getting shot is a great way to leave the fans hanging till Season 3, I dont see the storyline continuing to be as great without him in the picture.

Peter is a beast. By far the best character on the show. While he is gullible beyond all belief, we also have to realize that his heart is bigger than his brain and he takes people at face value. Its a major character flaw, but one that makes Peter the character that we all love.

Claire got off to a slow start in Season 2, but she was one of the main characters in Season 1 so maybe they were trying to allow the other cast members more 'airtime'. I feel her part in Season 3 will end up bigger than Seasons 1 and 2 combined.

Sylar getting his powers back is great. He was a perfect villian for Season 1 and with the next season being about the "villians", it just wouldnt be the same without Sylar running around decapitating people.

All in all Season 2 wasnt as great as Season 1, but honestly, what sequel is ever better than the original. The fact that the writer's strike is still ongoing should have made it painfully clear that the episodes werent going to all be perfect. No one can tell this story like Tim Kring, but NBC knows the fans want their show and did what they could in order to please them. While we might not like everything we got out of Season 2, at least we got something and it wasnt quite as bad as everyone is making it out to be.

Long Live Tim Kring

I didn't start watching Heroes until this season. and I was lost. With the help with some friends from work I was briefed enough on the program to kinda get what was going on...but that wasn't enough.

So one weekend I sat down and watched all of season 1....and my interest turned to an obsession. I haven't been into a TV show (outside a sitcom) since Star Trek: Enterprise.

I love the show, the nods to other scifi programs (countless Star Trek references...and I counted on Back to the Future reference).

But I digress...


This half-season was overall pretty good. It could have been spectacular, but it had a bumpy start and by the time it got on track...the story was winding down and the strike was looming.

I begining to wonder if some of the plot holes have been left intentionally for "Villans" or maybe they were accidently not completed and now can be.

Too much was left out of Parkman's story line. Did his wife leave him? He leave her? Did I miss that? He seemed to have shaken off taking four bullets to the chest pretty easily.

You know, Peter sure does forget about his women easily. Once he learned to time travel he coulda saved Simone. And in "Powerless" after he met up with Nathan...Caitlyn didn't seem to be on the forefront of his mind.

I didn't like too much where they took Claire. But on the other hand I get it. She's having to grow up very quickly because of the situations presented before her. Noah has brought The Company into their home...inspite of his efforts to maintain a "normal" life. She'll probably be the target or one of the targets in "Villans". Especially if Sylar's a boss.

Micah....he needs to go to school and let that be that. I haven't much time for him. Monica needs to get that management job at the fast food place and enjoy Mardi Gras next year.

Hiro needs Ando.....Hiro working alone isn't interesting.

Adam Monroe was a great character. Flawed yet likeable. We see now why Linderman was the way he was because of Monroe. I hope both of them return somehow in "Villans".

West......get yourself a prom date in the spring and leave us alone.

Elle.....I adore her. She's the best new character next to Adam Monroe. You feel bad for her because you see that she wasn't raised in the loving household Claire was. And then you realize Claire could just have easily ended up like Elle. And you gain more respect for Noah.

Bob......this guy I don't get. He's bad, he's good, he's in the middle. I have a feeling he'll need help from the good guys next Chapter. This actor who plays him does a good job and good for him because for years he's played the nerdy guy in so many shows/movies.

The Haitian...he'll be back

I'm sure there's things I've overlooked and I'll have to go back and re-watch the epsidoes to get it all in.


The strike has been bad of course because it has stopped production. But I bet that Tim Kring and crew have been coming up with outstanding ideas in their heads that they can't wait to get on paper as soon as they get back to work.

Elle's introduction was fantastic. Monica's is also good, I liked how they took the story to a different area of the country. Many did not like this but I think if she is involved in important things she will be very interesting.

I was enjoying the New Orleans storyline, until Monica goes and gets herself captured. What, she didn't learn enough Kung Fu? Self-defense? She couldn't run out of the house on to the friggin' roof?

Her getting captured was a Worf moment -- her skills are either great or they suck, depending on what the plot requires.

i was bawling when nathan was shot. i wanna kill mama petrelli!!!!! argh!

This Season turned out to be okay in the end. I was skeptical about the season until The Line where things started to pick up. After The Line the story seemed much more like the first season and there were actual important events happening.

I'm actually okay with the idea of Niki being gone. Her and D.L. were the chores of season 1 like the wonder twins of Volume 2. The only good thing about her character this season was that every 2nd line wasn't "Micah". I always found them bland and unintersting.

I'm not so happy with the idea of Nathan leaving the show. This season we saw a real twist on his character, and we weren't even able to see how finding his brother again affected him. I also think that if they ever needed "team up" our heroes against a great evil, Nathan would have contributed greatly through personality dynamics. At present time he could have been a good leader or some sort of difficult skeptic.

I like that Sylar got his powers back, that seemed a little easy though. But he is a great villain, and someone needs to counter balance peter's insane strength. I think we're all pretty sure Adam is not gone for good, which is great because it will develop a pretty interest rivalry between him and Hiro.

It'd be nice to seem them go back to the duo of Hiro and Ando. They added most of the comedic elements of season 1, and there was less of that this season which I think hurt it a bit. Last season it would go from intense drama to Hiro and Ando who would break the tension, and let us relax a bit, and then go back. This year the drama was offset with...more drama, so that made it a little harder to watch.

But overall I still think this was a positive step for all the characters we know and love, well except poor Nathan.

Favorite Storyline: "Group of Twelve", and about the past generation of heroes, and how they screwed up.
Favorite [New] Character(s): Monica & Elle
Favorite Episode: Cautionary Tales
Least Favorite Episode: Kindered
Least Favorite [New] Character: Maya
Least Favorite Stroyline: Peter's flat out, and Hiro in the 17th Century (That was dragged on WAY too long)
Other: Niki was awesome! If she had to die, that was a great way to kill her off. I'd accually be disapointed if she lived, it would sort of cheapen that entire storyline. I think Nathan should just die already, get it overwith! I thought it was cheap the way who like everyone in the finale was shot, but they ALL lived (excusing D.L., since he died later on). I loved the new character of Elle, she had a great evolution with her, from being bad and then changing to good. Nathan getting shot was so dumb. I knew it coming right was he started the speach! If he lives that would be a ripoff! SOMEONE should die already!

Well, because of that strike, episode 11 sucked.

It was like they rushed through like 5 episodes+ in one episode. Diddent like that:(
I hate you writers!!

Other then that. Season 2 ruuuuled:D

uuuhhhhh i wish everyone would just leave west alone,thought claire nd him were adorable 2gether nd he beta cum bk in vol 3!!!! dnt attack me cos of dis every1 has der opinion!!! newaz thought vol 2 was gud but a tiny bit slow....nd not enough of peter!!!it still ROCKS though!! bring on da villains!!!!!!!!!
