Heroes Season 2

Heroes Season 2

One of my three new fav shows from last season (after Brothers & Sisters and Ugly Betty) had me amiss after my finale. Too much buildup led to much letdown. The whole Sylar vs Peter showdown ended faster than a Yaataaa shoutout. I keep telling people who have watched Heroes that maybe they didn't have enough budget to keep that going. But cmon, producers (if you are hearing), don't create a HUGGGEEE buzz over a finale and give us, the viewers nothing to talk about (not even a watercooler moment). So, my hopes for the new season were slightly down and lower expectations.

After watching the first four episodes, has Heroes fallen under the typical Hollywood Sophomore slump? Well, I would say yes and no. The thing I'm really looking forward to in the new season is the introduction of new characters and their powers. Plus, there's a new bigger, badder and more powerful villian than Sylar. I do hope also that they tie up some of the loose ends from last season which wasn't explained. Now, the stuff that might make Heroes lose their steam is the how unbelievably all of them are connected. Cmon, I know the world is small but not that small. Some of the connections are seriously ridiculous. And, they need to give new storylines to certain characters like Hiro, Niki/Jessica and Nathan. Can we get more scenes whereby the Heroes actually learn more about their powers. If I had some of their powers, I would like to test things further. The only Hero that have tried to test the limits of their power this season is Claire.

Overall, still gonna be sticking to see what Season 2 has to offer. I just hope there's not another "Save the cheerleader, Save the world" buildup and later on, a snoozefest letdown. Let's hope the producers don't map out their season route like Prison Break (which I grew tired during the second half of Season 2). Cause I believe Heroes has great potential.
