I'm going to watch the season premier tonight, but I'm not hoping for much. The first season of Heroes was amazing, the second one was shit.
Will the third time be the charm?
Is anyone willing to give Heroes another chance?
"Personally I liked the second a lot more than the first, the story actually managed to move along at a decent pace. I am really looking forward to the third season."
:O
"Well wasn't the second series was cut short due to the writers strike, so really that whole series was setting you up for what would have been the end of the series, but will now be in series 3, so hopefully series 3 should be good."
No, season 3 is a new plotline I believe. I could be wrong, though. I heard somewhere that the writer of Heroes publically appologized for the crap that was season 2. If this is true, I doubt they would air the rest of it.

I got to see the first episode at Comic-Con. I posted a full in depth summary (at Comic Vine). I think the first episode makes up for the abbreviated second season. After watching the extras on the Season 2 Blu-ray, I'm actually glad the season got cut short. They're not taking the series in a different direction.
Here's my Comic-Con spoilers (don't read it, watch the episode instead).
Here's what I posted about the Blu-ray and the extras and deleted stuff.
"Zenaxzd said:Eh honestly the first season felt like it was going no where to me about halfway through and didn't get really super exciting until the final few episodes, so yea I was happy with how season 2 went down. Season 3 looks like its going to be great though."Personally I liked the second a lot more than the first, the story actually managed to move along at a decent pace.

:O"
I don't know where all the hate for season 2 comes from. Of all last season's network TV, Heroes was probably the best. The only really bad thing I can think of is the way Peter turned on Adam in the blink of an eye totally devaluing his entire build up.

Thank you, I didn't know that happened.....
Anyway, season 2 was a stupid teen drama that happened to have superpowers. Sylar should have died. Done, enough, no more needs to be said. To bring him back is just proof of either laziness or lack of creativity.
The cheerleader's plot was taking too much of a role, Hiro's little journey to the past was contrived and predictable, and once again they had to take the route of "travel to the future accidentally to discover the world is destroyed so now you must travel back to the present and stop the impending doom."
I loved Heroes because of how the plot kept you on your toes, throwing new obstacles in the way that you never saw coming. But season 2 was just a recycled season 1 with some Disney channel TV highschool drama movie tossed in for good measure.
It was awful.
'The cheerleader's plot was taking too much of a role."Oh god, how did I forget about that? West was just the worst character ever.
"Heroes totally jumped the shark after the first season. At this point, it should just be taken out back and shot. "
I've wanted to ask but I have been too lazy. Is your icon the final stage of SMG? I don't get it!
Anywho, I wouldn't be so harsh. Yeah the second season sucked, but I'm going to give it a one episode chance.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I'll hunt down your family and force you to scalp them yourself.
Wasn't Season 2 cut in half because of the writers strike or did they end up finishing the season?"The Writer's Strike fucked it up, along with everything else worth watching. It's part of the reason why the second season sucked so bad; they couldn't do everything they had planned because a bunch of greedy bastards wanted a little extra money.

"Watching this...Season 3 "pre-party" or whatever it is. It all feels rather odd."Having a preview is just stupid. Not many shows, some of which are a lot better, ever have "pre-parties".

"The cheerleader is one of my main reasons for never getting into the show...and how could he not break down a weak ass door like that."Her character is pretty retarded at times.
"The cheerleader is one of my main reasons for never getting into the show...and how could he not break down a weak ass door like that."Yeah, her an Nikki. I really hate the Niki/Jessica thing. As for the breaking down the door, well it's Syler, he seems to take a lot of pleasure in playing up every action he takes.
