Heroes Season 2 Is Disappointing

The second season of Heroes came to end rather quickly and disappointingly after the huge success of last year. While it certainly turned a corner by the 8th episode it all seemed too little too late. This was incidentally the episode that told the events right after the end of season one and finally ditched Hiro’s wacky adventures in medieval Japan. Why on Earth they couldn’t just do this in the first place is beyond me - it makes far more sense and actually explained what happened to the characters after the big finale. Dumb.

The other thing that has been nagging at me are the logic holes. A man who can manipulate time itself would have no problem handling every situation and saving anybody. Hiro has become too powerful and breaks the show because of this. The guy really needs to be restricted to just pausing time.

Also in the last two episodes it’s established that Peter and Adam can be killed by a bullet through the head. Yet before this Noah is shot in the head, killed and then promptly resurrected via a transfusion of Claire’s blood. The same Claire whose powers Peter absorbed and as such you would assume the same rules apply to her as to any blood transfusion.

I haven’t even started on my outright hatred for Maya and Niki - so pointless. Hopefully the writer’s strike will give them time to reflect on the issues this season has had so they come back with swinging next year. Hopefully.

    Dude, i think you’re missing a few major things here.
    Let me also state before i go into this that i dont disagree with your overall sentiment, and neither do the writers - Tim Kring has already stated that they made mistakes and are going to go back to the original formula.
    Firstly, it wasnt actually the end of ‘Season’ 2, just ‘Part’ 2 - that story arc within season 2 (however, i will agree, for all intents and purposes it can be called Season 2 - the seasons only reflect the US tv timings after all!)
    I think Hiro’s power is actually counterbalance by Hiro’s ineptitude due to being Hiro - at least i think that is intended to be the point. I do think he’s too powerful tho.
    As for Bullet’s through the head - i didnt get that - i got that they had to have their heads removed. Which would make total sense. A bullet through the head, as you rightly say, would make very little sense, and i really hope that i got that correctly!
    Anyways - i dont disagree with you, just wanted to point some things out!
