(S02E01) There was a log of expectations, questions and anxiety regarding the big return of Heroes on NBC. Not just because the show did well last season, or because NBC made sure the whole world was aware that it was the greatest hit ever in the history of the world – though, granted, they said it in a more pretentious way.
But had writers/producers worked on the actual scripts, and planned good episodes for us, or were they all busy promoting the show, that’s the question.
Anyways, I was waiting for it, but not more than that. Because as I already expressed, the first season’s finale was an absolute piece of crap, and offered a very bad new perspective on the whole season, and show.
But let’s start things fresh, and see how this new season look. What’s the verdict after watching the season premiere ?

This season is filled with lots of shows, good and bad ones, and there is just so many I can’t watch them all in time. Actually, I called this “cleaning my DVR”, but it’s not empty, I still have yet to watch some shows from last week !
Anyways, here we go again, looking at Criminal Minds, Heroes, My Name Is Earl and Reaper. Almost only good stuff. Kind of.

(S02E03) Ok so, this time one of the first Monday shows I watched happens to be Heroes, the self-proclaimed hit than keeps loosing viewers every month, and for a reason. I’ve been complaining about this new season ever since, well, actually even before it started!
But as I said last time, bring on great episode and I’ll shut up and praise the show. Now evidently for some reason they’ve decided not to do that, and so they are really the ones to blame for the resulting complaints they get.
Doesn’t take a genius to get it, this episode was no different than its predecessors, and that’s not a good thing.

(S02E04) Ok, I finally could watch the latest episode of Heroes, so I did. I usually don’t really feel like spoiling things too soon, but I’ve had this theory and I’ve seen it formulated by others as well pretty much as soon as the first season’s finale ended, and it feels just right.
Back at the beginning, Heroes was a promising new series. It was, and it had potential. Along the way they probably realized that a large potion of their audience if not most of it was made of teenagers. From that point on, instead of trying to write good television and challenge viewers’ expectations, as they do on other series, they simply decided to go for their audience, please them with cheesy lame cliché stories (teenagers probably don’t realize how lame it really is, maybe they never even seen those before!) and meet all their expectations.
They don’t challenge you, they (try to) make you feel smart by using incredibly lame and/or predictable plots. They don’t bother with writing good scripts, and they really think their viewers are as dumb as fuck.
As showed by the season one finale, or this second season.

(S02E05) I used to like Heroes. It was last year, the first season. I never thought it was the awesome show many claimed all over it was, but it was a really good show fore sure, and I pretty much enjoyed every episode all along.
Until that terrible day, when I watch the season finale. Not only was that episode the worst piece of shit ever, but it also had that retroactive effect that made me disliked the whole season, and show, all at once.
And so far this second season is following that path.

(S02E06) I’ve got a question : why am I still watching that show ? Why are you ? No seriously, it’s been weeks now and it’s always the same BS, every week we get to complain about the same problems with the show, and every week is a disappointment after another one. It really looks like what they really cared about, was to promote the show, I’m sorry I mean the hit show, or the greatest hit ever in the whole history and I’m sure NBC likes to think of it.
Only problem is, focus on that, spend all the money you got on hiring half a dozen new actors every week for a few month, and you’re pretty sure to end up with a series where special effects are as good as they were 20 years ago, in Kazakhstan, and scripts, well, you don’t get any of that.

(S02E07) So, here we go with what creator Tim Kring said would be, finally, a lesser sucky episode of his show. He might have used different words, but the idea was the same, that they would now try to make good episodes instead of having us to wait & wait so that we get into sweeps season. I’ll be honest, when I read that I did not believe it for one second.
Not that I want this show to suck or anything, but after so much disappointment I’m just not gonna take their words for it. I’ll have to see it before I can believe it. Speaking of which, I just finished watching the episode. What’s the verdict ?

(S02E08) I have been very unhappy with this season of Heroes so far, simply because each and every episode sucked. It’s a fact, and I believe that anyone who actually watch them will agree on that point.
Now I’ve heard quite a few people being pretty happy after last week’s episode, already chanting that the show was (finally) back and up to the level it used to be, way back during season one.
I never shared that enthusiasm, because while I do recognize that it was (slightly) better (or should I say less bad?) than previous episodes, if only because we finally have things at stakes, goals and objectives for people, and some incredibly boring plot ended. Nevertheless, it was still not a good episode.
But enough of lats week, let’s dive into this episode.

(S02E09) After last week’s terrible episode I said I was done with this show. Then yesterday as I went over what was on TV, I wondered if I would actually watch it or not. So the only logical next step was to indeed watch it. Sometimes I wonder why I do such things to myself, why would I put me through such an awful thing ?
I think for this time I’ll blame Elle. I really liked her last week, she was the only good thing of the whole mess, and while I didn’t know whether or not we would see her back this week, I’ll just go on and blame her anyways.

(S02E10) Okay people, so I’ve said I would keep watching this show till the end of the show, which is closer than one may think, and I will. And while everyone was already jumping ahead and claiming that Heroes was back to being great after the past few episodes, I was never there. I mean sure, it wasn’t as bad as it used to be, especially when this season started - boy was that bad!
But still, plenty of stuff were wrong, I mean look at that “Four Months Ago” episode, what was that ? Like we cared about those stupid twins and how they’ve always been annoying and useless and deserved to die, in a slow and painful way.
