Heroes: Season 2


Editorial Review:

Rejoin the epic and suspenseful phenomenon as Heroes: Season 2 arrives on DVD! Experience all the new and exciting twists of the astonishing series in this 4-disc set that includes every gripping Season 2 episode. Plus, see what could have been with exclusive bonus features that reveal the untold stories that never aired and an alternate ending to the season finale, where the fate of humanity takes an ominous turn when Peter fails to catch the vial containing the deadly virus.

Don't believe the hype: though some critics and viewers decried the sophomore season of the hit fantasy series Heroes, the core of the program remained as strong as in its debut network run. To be sure, the 2007-2008 Writers Guild strike hobbled the show, and producers stumbled by stranding two of its most intriguing characters: Super-charged Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia) is taken out of the action after being struck with amnesia, while Hiro (Masi Oka) is sent to feudal Japan, where he encounters his own idol, Takezo Kenzei (David Anders). Both are overcomplicated story arcs, even by Heroes standards, and their connection to the rest of the season occasionally requires some mental gymnastics. But the crux of the season--the Company's development of the power-draining Shanti virus and its potentially devastating effects on both average citizens and superhumans like Niki Sanders (Ali Larter), The Haitian (Jimmy Jean-Louis) and primary villain Sylar (Zachary Quinto)--is solid, gripping material. The introduction of new characters like the lethal Maya (Dania Ramirez) and Kristen Bell as the electrically charged (in both the literal and figurative sense) Elle Bishop also up the dramatic stakes, even if their presence may require a scorecard for some viewers. In short, the few kinks in the armor of Heroes: Season 2 ultimately don't detract from the show's drive and vision. Season two spreads its supplemental features across all four of its discs; chief among these are commentary tracks by the cast and crew on all eleven episodes. The participating talent ranges from creator Tim Kring and stars Ventimiglia, Oka, Quinto and Greg Grunberg to composers Lisa Coleman and Wendy Melvoin, which helps to provide a wide variety of information about almost every aspect of the show's production. Featurettes cover everything from the history of Takezo Kenzei to in-depth looks at scenes from the season, while "Untold Stories" explores storylines that were left unfinished due to the writers' strike. The key extras are, of course, the alternate ending to the season finale (which is unfortunately revealed by the rear cover-art text) and an info-heavy sneak peek at Season 3. --Paul Gaita

Customer Reviews:

Avg. Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0

Awesome:

One of the best shows I have ever seen next to the Buffy series. The second season was not better than the first but still a great watch. Hiro is my favorite besides Sylar and Peter is just awesome. Great supernatural show.

Heros -eason2:

Very enjoyable, even though Season 2 was a short season due to the strike. We're now into Season 3 and hooked on Heros.

A nightmare to be forgotten:

If you loved Season 1 and were addicted to how brilliant it was, you may be compelled to think about Season 2 and Season 3 DVD sets as an essential purchase. But don't be fooled. Be informed that that the sophomore seasons of Heroes have a noticeable drop in:
- writing quality
- directing
- acting from certain members of the cast (ahem-Hayden Panettiere-ahem).
Overall, it was a bad year for Heroes. The DVD-treatment itself is excellent: audio and video quality rarely gets better... more info

Great charachter development:

I am on the edge of my seat for every episode of heroes for the thorough charachter development that drives every action and conflict. Very well done show.
