Heroes, Volume Two

Well, this episode was a little better than previous ones.

Less 'wuv stowy' and more heroic crap. Oh, and let's hope Sylar kills weepy McGee and her brother. Lame power.
 
veronica mars (i'll refer to bell's character as veronica mars until she gets a name) is a werido, frying the guy like that.

monica we know is a copier, just copies what others do (doubt this includes other's powers, just of physical abilities), and we still have southern accents for new orleans...boo.

mr. parkman is a creepy guy, and could be the main villain...not a nice man at all.
 
Me too. Last series the story line was thrusted into your face every other minute and waggled around so you didn't give a damn about any other story line. This one seems to float down the Lost route and not give any big clues out.

Still enjoying it though! Dare I say more than the first series, probably because it's got less Hulk woman in it (name escapes me) pulling her infuriating poses into mirrors and cameras. Not keen on them Mexican folk, the emotional bunch.
 
heroes is officially back...what's with the evacuation order?

and did monica actually take the virus?

i say hiro is turning into kim bauer though (hindering the storyline).
 
Heroes: Origins Canned...for now

Heroes Spin-Off Cancelled by NBC

NBC has pulled the plug on Heroes: Origins, the Heroes spin-off that was slated to run next April. The network declined comment, but sources said the possible strike by the Writers Guild of America — which could happen after the guild's contract expires midnight Thursday — played a role in the decision.

"Looking at everything in context of the strike, we’re evaluating all of our production commitments," said one insider. "Scripts haven’t been written yet."

Origins was designed to provide fans with six episodes of a fresh Heroes-related show in place of repeats in the spring. If the labor situation changes quickly, the network could revisit the decision to scrap the show. —Reporting by Stephen Battaglio

It was ok, but it looks to be getting better again. Just in time for the writers strike. :rolleyes: They were going to try and wrap up the parts they have in case of an extended strike, but Tim Kring wouldn't comply with a weekend rewrite that would tack a season ending onto the last script written and is now off HEROES. I've heard the actors don't want to either. Good for them, bad for the show.

This is why they canned the spin-off/miniseries as well.
 
Strike? Is that why they are trying to wrap up the current storyline (save the world part 2) in the next 5 episodes?

Didn't DL get shot in the confrontation with Linderman at the end of last season? Barely pulling together enough strength to stand up and reach into Linderman's head to kill him?

if you read the graphic novels, dl lived through the gunshot episode. he clearly died of something else. and the tombstone said he died in 2007, while the bomb went off in 2006.
 
i've got to wait untill next year too see Heroes season 2, but i enjoy seeing Lost season 3 now :rolleyes: you've probably seen the whole season 4 ?? next Monday is the season final,can't wait.
 
The writing of Heroes is terrible. People die and then come back to life with no explanation. There are so many inconsistencies with the story line that it is nearly impossible to follow. They are just rambling.

I will never watch another episode of Heroes.

i say give it one last chance, since next week is the flashback show.

and dl in last night's show was a mind manipulation, not the real thing.

Last night I almost did not watch it, but did while watching "Dancing with the Stars" on a 2nd TV set. There are way too many story lines going on. A plot line is abandoned for awhile, and then weeks later, it is opened again. The writers strike might be a blessing to kill an out of control, poorly written, disjointed TV show.

Uh, except for Sylar (which actually kinda has been explained a little), who?

Not going to say this season has been great. It hasn't. And the end of last season was disappointing, but it's still an entertaining show.

Update on Kring:

Tim Kring, a producer and writer of the NBC hit "Heroes," said he had to revise the ending of the show's 11th episode on the chance that it might be the last one to air this season. "Fortunately we were able to hustle back," Kring said from a picket line in an effort to shut down the show. "The audience won't be left in a lurch."

I have not figured out how Sylar came back to life. I would be grateful for info about that and also how Peter and Nathan survived the explosion.

The first season was awesome, this season has been terrible.

you'll find that out if you watch next week, since it's a flashback hour.

and i don't think most people thought sylar was dead anyway...remember that you have to think a bit more comic book in this show, not like a regular drama. villains come back all the time in comics, even when you think they are dead.

I agree that you shouldn't watch it! I'll stay watching it though because it is a great show. No loss to me if you don't watch it!

Too many story lines? So... because you can't keep up it must be bad? I quite like that it stimulates your brain rather than serving everything up on a plate like an old fashioned microwave dinner. Thinking is good for you!

Sylar:
No one actually saw him die. Presumably he didn't, which would mean he never actually came back to life... Maybe you should watch the last episode again. Or is it too far in the past that you can't remember what happened... you know... those damned story lines and having to use your brain and all...


Peter & Nathan:
Well Peter can heal himself... nuff said...

And Nathan can fly. Presumably (omg really going out on a limb here) Peter pushed him away before he exploded and Nathan then flew gently down to the ground.

Then again what do i know...
 
what is wrong with nikki? she seems to come up with multiple personalities out of nowhere. i would like to know a bit more about that.

and another thought...will claire end up like adam, living for hundreds of years like elves?
