Heroes - Season 2

[Iguana Man]

This show is rather difficult to keep track of. The last two and especially the last episode are bouncing back and forth and shit...what the hell man? Am I supposed to have to take notes to understand where each episode is leading?

That Bell chick is a cross eyed loon and she ain't no where near as hot as that older married duel-personality-blonde. For that matter, the hottest of the hot in this show is clearly the plague-sister. Now SHE is hot.

Back to the story, does anyone else feel that the boyfriend of the cheerleader is going to have some major impact on this series soon?

Maybe if you were trying to keep track of Hiro's storyline, but the show clearly lists when it was. 4 months, 3 months, 2 months, etc. Not too hard to follow if you lay down the booze for a minute.

Refer to my advice above if you don't think Kristen Bell is competitive hot-wise.

Yes, we'll find out that he is lovechild of Nathan Petrelli's many indiscretions against his wife. Claire and he are having an incestuous relationship.

You jest but if you read this spoiler from TVGuide you will understand my dilema:

Bitch!

See? It's easy.

I wish I would have been recording this season because I just bought season 1 on DVD. Guess I will have to wait for Season 2 on HD-DVD

I know some people have written off this season as a failure, but I happen to think things are getting really good. I had guessed that the man that killed Mr. Nakamura was Adam after it became apparent that Nightmare man wouldn't have thrown Nakamura off the building. The only one that would do that is someone who would not die from the fall.

Hard not to agree with Tim Kring when he has said that this season has been a bust. But yeah, the last 2 episodes has been vintage Heroes. Looking forward to the final 2 episodes, as it does have an "ending" to the story arc to compensate for the writers strike.

[limacharliewhiskey]

Yeah, that was another great episode last night. Probably the first time this season that seeing Claire and West didn't make me cringe.

Was it always obvious that Mohinder would be the one to shoot Bennet? Bennet was the one who asked about whether Mohinder had a gun, but whether that painting and the one with the death of Bennett would signify the same event was a bit startling. Why wouldn't it have been one big painting with both events drawn on it? Just a minor quibble, as from a story point, it made sense to keep it a mystery for as long as possible as to who would shoot Bennet, just as it was Adam/Kenzei who would push Kaito Nakamura off the roof. Obviously, that makes perfect sense now.

Just a query, for those who might remember a few episodes back: was it Parkman's father who seemingly attacked Angela Petrelli when she was in police custody? It seemed like a ghostlike figure, and at the time, I thought it was the same bad guy who was killing all of the other Company members, which turned out to be Adam. But since Adam doesn't seem to have any powers where he could enter and leave a police station undetected, it couldn't have been him.

[ganthc]

Well, the reason it wasn't all one big painting is because Issac saw them in two separate instances. The first was Mohinder pointing the gun, but didn't kill Bennett then, because he was punched. Also, the scene with Bennett dead if Mohinder had killed him would have been inaccurate because Claire wasn't there to be in the background. However, the last shot with Bennett dead was done separately, because he was shot later. It didn't have to be Mohinder, but it turned out to be.

I think everyone is going to regret Bennett telling Elle she was tortured and not loved by Bob. She is too much of a loose cannon and extremely dangerous.

I like how Parkman is now more powerful, but I wonder if he may go overboard with his powers as well. He may seem like he's doing good, but I'm sure his father was the same way, before he got warped.

I agree. I think it makes the character more interesting, dabbling in more ambiguous moral territory and pushing beyond the border of right and wrong.

How great was Kristen Bell last night? She was even more deliciously evil than before, and in a bikini, too.

I agree with the Kristen Bell part. I think the show is definitely going back in the right direction. Does everyone here think the Haitian (sp?) will erase Bennetts mind and he will be searching for Claire for the Company. Also did anyone see Claire emptying a urn into the ocean in the preview for next week?

[ganthc]

I liked this episode, but I am sad to see that the season finale is already upon us. There seems to be too many loose ends to address.

Well, it's the half-season finale, although with this strike, it might be the season finale. I wouldn't expect all the loose ends to be tied up, just probably the main plot with the Shanti virus, and maybe an outcome for Adam Monroe.

It is a shame that the strike has happened, as Heroes is really picking up steam now. Loved the scene with Elle fumbling with the car keys after Claire spotted her. Veronica Mars fans also might have recognized Jaime Ray Newman, who played Mindy O'Dell in Season 3, playing the younger Victoria Pratt in the flashback scenes.

Anyone else see the Volume II finale? I thought it was better then Season 1.

Spoiler (Highlight or Triple Click to Read):

So is it safe to assume that Noah shot Nathan. I also liked what Hiro did to Adam.

[limacharliewhiskey]

Yup, I saw it too, and I thought it was enjoyable. It went just about as expected, although I wasn't expecting Niki to get caught in that explosion. I did kind of half-expect Nathan to get shot at the end, although it still caught me by surprise when it did happen. But now that he has Adam's blood in his system, shouldn't he be able to recover just like he did from the burns on his face.

I liked what Hiro did too, but it was a bit reminiscent of how Alias ended with the Arvin Sloan character.

It's a shame that the strike is cutting the season short, as this season has been really good over the last month.

[Reaver]

I think the healing properties that are in Claire's and Adam's blood are probably short-lived.

As for the finale, I thought it was fantastic. I never saw Nathan's death coming. I knew something had to stop him from making his announcement, but getting sniped like that... Man. And, if that was Noah who shot him, then that means Claire's adoptive father murdered her biological father. It'll take decades of therapy to get through THAT mess. You KNOW Peter is going to be on a mission next season, and I'd hate to get in his way. As for Niki, good riddence. Her character has been a bore all season long, and it was more than time for her to go. I just wish Mira or whatever her name was would have stayed dead. This show needs to focus itself, and clearing out the dead weight is just the thing way to get there.

[Iguana Man]

Well thank you very much Writers Strike! Looks like Heroes is getting a "re-tool" of sorts?

See what happens when 4 cents comes into play. Writers be DAMNED!

(I jest)

I wonder if Nathan will really be dead. We have learned that dead people can be brought back with the healing blood of Claire. Look at Bennett, who was certainly dead, but was brought back. Nathan may not be finished.
