[Movie] Heroes Season Two Discussion

So, I started reading the first post by Crash and I had to stop because I'm only halfway through the first season. I just bought the box set and I'm definitely not disappointed. I just wish I would have bought it a week ago so I could have had enough time to watch all the episodes before the season premiere Monday night.

Does anyone know if NBC shows episodes on their website after they've already aired? I could always watch this one online after I finish the DVDs (as I don't have a TiVO).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

David Anders as Takezo Kensei is pretty cool. He was one of my favorites on Alias (Sark, for those who watched the show). I hope he has a substantial role throughout the season. Give me even more reason to watch this show (as if that's even needed!)

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh, I'm pretty sure there are still forces working to make the boom happen.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Just don't kill anyone? *wink*

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I have a feeling that Angela is a Soothsayer kind of like Parkman, because of the sound effects that played while she was speaking with Nathan's wife while he was in the hospital (considering she easily convinced Petrelli's wife to accept some cock-and-bull schpiel).

But that's just a guess.

And yes, this season is going to feel rushed. There are 3 unfilmed episodes as a result of the WGA strike, so they're going to conclude it on a cliffhanger that may not answer all the questions that the season brought about. Kind of sad, really... but I guess you can't blame writers for wanting to make more than $200k/year when studio heads make TEN MILLLLLLLION DOLLARS.

(although I'd take $200k/year easy).

I was speaking idiomatically.

Because of the writer's strike, they have had to cram an entire series worth of shows, 120 hours of story, into 3 final episodes. Does anyone not realize this? Or am I completely wrong in thinking that because of the writer's strike, the writer's of the show were completely pressured into getting as much of the season in as they could before it went on?

I'm willing to bank the entire season would have panned out to be quite awesome IF they had the time to better perfect the writing.

That's not right. There were 3 episodes to this season that hadn't yet been scripted. The "season finale" that we saw tonight wasn't intended to be the real finale. But the producers said that they felt like this episode was strong enough to suffice as the end of this season, as it concluded a few major plot elements, and created a few more questions to have for next season. There may be more episodes filmed that follow the finale, but they won't be aired this season because there isn't another good stopping point, not to mention the originally planned finale isn't written nor filmed. I suspect that there are going to be some rewrites and the like to make the beginning of next season flow a little bit better (or we might just have a really awesome first few episodes, which the show may need if we don't get any new episodes until Fall 2008, with this strike).

ANYWAY...

Finale was decent, although not as good as last season by any means. It leaves plenty of questions, but of course...everything is open-ended. Great cliffhangers. And I don't know how it's possible that I can just keep hating Angela more and more every episode. Crazy bitch.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

it's not like there was a splitscreen showing the events happening at the same time. stuff happens concurrently but at different times on television quite a bit!

FELIPE NO
