[big screen satellite]

since Heroes has finished its run on (the satellite only) Sci-Fi channel here...

i've seen them all now,

but mainstream BBC2 are showing it (from next week i think), expect a lot more UK people to get into it fairly soon...

i'm looking forward to the DVD set which has at least 50 deleted scenes and the original Pilot episode (which was never shown here)

those who do want spoilers who haven't seen it should just go to the Heroes website...

http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/

which has catch ups and downloads galore - plus some nice downloads

anyway I agree Hiro is by far the best character ever created

So, I've rushed through season one these past three days and am totally intrigued. Lovely drawn characters, surprising plot-twists, absorbing fates - what more could you want from a TV series? (Though sometimes it was a bit close to X-Men and the season finale was predictable.)

Can season two keep up the level of tension and originality? Is it worth watching?

I believe so. I still enjoy it quite a bit.

Season 2 was widely criticized by commentators and fans alike. Even the show's creator has apologized about it.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Heroes creator Tim Kring commented on criticisms of season two, and the series' 15% decline in ratings. Kring said that he felt he had made mistakes with the direction of season two. He had thought that the audience was looking for a "build-up of characters and the discovery of their powers", in contrast to season one, when viewers were instead looking for "adrenaline."

Kring also outlined what he felt were problems with plot development, stating that the second season "took too long to get to the big-picture story", explaining that [*DELETED SPOILER*] should have occurred in the first episode instead of the seventh. He feels that it would have been better to introduce new characters within the context of the main storyline, as with Elle, rather than in unattached arcs such as that of Maya and Alejandro. Kring also admitted that he should have resolved the "Hiro in Japan" storyline much more quickly, and that the romantic stories are not working well. With regards to Claire and West, and Hiro and Yaeko, he said, "I've seen more convincing romances on TV. In retrospect, I don't think romance is a natural fit for us."

But Season 3 is a big improvement, so stick with it.

Nooooo! What about Hiro? And what's with this romantic nonsense? At least some super-power sex scenes?

Alright, I'll try and trudge through season two.

Season 3 is superb!!!! I also recommend the Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles.
