Not bad on second viewing
by Thomas A. Liao
Although not the best season of Heroes, there is much to be gained from seeing season 2 again. Now that we have season 3, there are things going on that you can see building toward something. The Latin American twins are still no great characters but they do function to get Sylar back into the game.
Very clean transfer. Some interesting extras. For example, there is a documentary that looks like a history channel special about Takezo Kensei. The usual deleted scenes are interesting as far as how the story might have changed.
2/5
A thundering disappointment after Season One
by Robert Moore (Chicago, IL USA)
Not since Season Two of TWIN PEAKS has a good show fallen so sharply off in quality as HEROES in Season Two (and unfortunately, as of this day, Season Three). And never has a series so completely belied its name.
The fundamental problem with HEROES is that there are no heroes. There are people with super abilities, but no one acts especially heroic. There are no clearly demarcated good guys and no clearly delineated bad guys. Instead, characters are apparently good for a while and then apparently bad. In other words, the fundamental conception of the show is just a mess.
The problem with Season Two is twofold. First, it fails to build on the promise of Season One. The best long narrative shows of recent years (and HEROES apparently bills itself as a long narrative show) continuously and clearly moves the story alone. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA clearly and brilliantly tells a story. LOST (the draggy Season Two aside) tells a story. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER clearly and inevitably told a series of stories. But even well into Season Three it isn't clear that HEROES has a story to tell. There are markers and signs that they think they have a story to tell, but things remain dark and murky. Watching the show in Season One I assumed that the show was showing how a group of people with remarkable abilities was going to come together, perhaps to team together for good. But at this point in the series no one seems to really be finding their way. Few have had epiphanies. No one is becoming truly heroic.
Frankly, at this point I don't have much hope for the show, though out of habit I've made myself keep up. One thin that truly great shows like BATTLESTAR GALATICA and LOST and BUFFY have in common is individual narratives of responsibility and redemption. Apart, possibly, for Sylar, we've had no such narratives in HEROES. Even Sylar might slip back to his evil, evil ways.
So the first major problem with HEROES in Season Two was the failure to move the story forward. Instead, they essentially did a reset and put thing back to where it was in Season One. All the work of Season One seemed for naught.
The second major problem is that too much of the season was spent on new characters, instead of developing the stories of established characters. I was happy to see Veronica Mars herself, Kristen Bell, join the show as the electrifying (literally) Elle, but there were simply too many new characters, several of them pretty unpleasant. We had a number of characters from Season One who were simply neglected to deal with the new characters.
I'm not sure that the show can be saved at this point. Sadly and tragically the show will certainly get some major help in the near future. ABC has stupidly canceled one of the finest shows on TV, PUSHING DAISIES. The only -- and I don't see this as much of a consolation prize given the loss of one of the most exhilarating shows in the history of TV -- upside to this abominable decision is that Bryan Fuller is now free to return to HEROES. Can Fuller turn the show around? One can only hope. Though Tim Kring insisted that all the writers worked on all episodes, I can't help but feel that it isn't an accident that Fuller was given writer's credit for what is hands down the best HEROES episode to date, "Company Man."
But if HEROES is to be saved, they first need to have the characters live up to the title, which at this point is more ironic than descriptive. Secondly, they need to force the story to start going somewhere.
Yes, the Blu-ray discs are spectacular. I have Season One is regular DVD and there is no question Season Two looks far superior in Blu-ray format. But clarity of picture and superior sound can't come close to matching a strong story. And that at this point HEROES continues to lack.
NBC is very slow to give up on shows. On ABC or CBS or FOX there is little question that HEROES would have been cancelled by now. The show's viewership is now less than half of what it was in Season One. If it doesn't improve soon and begin attracting back its old viewers, it has little chance for a Season Four.
4/5
Amazing image quality
by Videomac (Panama, Central America)
I got this as my first Blu-ray disc, I'm impress with the quality, and the content of the series, great extras, but I have been unable to remove the "Bonusview" tag on the corner[..], thanks!
