Heroes Season 2 premiere (9/24)

[Chi City 81]

Just started. This is going to kick ass.

 

[imjustagirl2]

Too busy watching Dancing with the Stars. I think I'm going to have to watch Heroes on season DVDs. I missed the last 3/4 of last season too.

As someone who has never watched this show, and knows little about it, please tell me why I should tune in.

Good cast; great, interweaving story lines; first-rate special effects, etc.

We're recording Dancing with the Stars. We're also going to be recording the Bachelor because The Hills is on right after Heroes and I refuse to miss it.

And the premiere is already interesting. I don't want to give any spoilers though, for those tivo or dvring.

 

[imjustagirl2]

My Tivo won't let me record a channel I'm not watching.

 

[spup1122]

Oh. We can record two channels and watch something already recorded or one of the recording channels..

 

[BYH]

I just don't get this show.

My wife is boffo into it now after watching the first season this summer on iTunes/DVD, but I'm just not getting it. Though I am stuck watching it.

 

[Chi City 81]

Ned Ryerson!

Those not seeking spoilers should turn away:





























Yay, a Legacy Virus ripoff plotline.

Yay, Claire's in high school, and they're beating us over the head with her new love interest . . "West." And he has wisdom about "robots and aliens." I guess they didn't get enough of the One Tree Hill audience last year.

Oooh. . . Nathan is upset!!! I can tell because he has a beard and is drunk! What an original cliche!

Etc., etc.

Man, this show was good up until the final 10 minutes of last season. Based on that, it will be good again once this season's plots about past generations and the past four months get going. But tonight . . . it feels like they want us to spend the whole time saying "Wow, how did all this happen?" But instead, I'm saying, "eh, they still should have offed the bad guy last year."

I do like what they've done with Hiro's hero, though.

I go now to eagerly await the inevitable reveal of Peter Petrelli just before the end.

 

[outofplace]

Agreed...and nicely done on the prediction...though I think most fans of the show could have seen that one coming. The question was how they would do it.

 

[Tom Petty]

phone call took me away from it. god bless tivo.

 

[ArnoldBabar]

I'm not very bright.

Fixed.

 

[EmbassyRow]

Ned Ryerson!

BING!

Is it just me, or is Parkman one of the least endearing good guys?

hater.

 

[EmbassyRow]

I know. Why do I hate America?

 

[Tom Petty]

I know. Why do I hate America?

because you hate parkman, who, btw, stands for everything that's good in america.

 

[outofplace]

I don't see how Parkman is one of the least endearing good guys, unless you are thinking of what he becomes in the potential future storyline.

I would think of Bennett first. Remember, he was ready to kill the little girl.

Nathan is another one. Barely qualifies as a good guy as corrupt as he is, but has redeeming qualities.

MORE SPOILERS:







































































It was creepy when Parkman read Molly's mind during her nightmare. Who in the hell is this other bad guy? And was it him who sent those pictures with the red symbol on it? Was it also him who tackled and (I'm pretty sure) killed Hiro's father? That guy was kind of shaped like Sylar, though.

I'm not judging anything yet. It all looks good to me. Some good setup stuff for the rest of the season. You can't get fireworks every episode.

So what was the deal with Nathan's face being all scarred up and stuff in the mirror reflection? And how come Peter Petrelli can't get out of handcuffs?
