Heroes 2nd season (title updated - previously about season 1 finale)

(1/11) > >>

Me and the wife thought it was crappy. What a complete dissapointment after all the build-up of the entire season.The first 50 minutes was a waste of time and felt more like a mid-season episode than what was supposed to be a finale. The conclusion/resolution was a HUGE letdown, and the teaser for next season didn't exactly leave me "chompin at the bit" for next season. After seeing this, I wish this show was canceled instead of Jericho. At least that show went out on a high note.

So, now that I have let out my spoiler free rant, what does everyone else think?

Now you know how 'LOST' fans feel!  ;D

It was much better than the first 2 Lost finales by a big margin. The problem with the Heroes finale is the episode that aired a few weeks ago, where they went to the future. That was maybe the best single tv show episode ever, it was like a movie. There was no way that the season finale could have ever come close to being that good. I felt tonight's episode was a good one and I'm satisfied that this story line actually had an ending. The final battle was a let down, but I'm not sure how crazy they could have gotten with a tv show budget. I expect big things next season.

Yeah, I'm one of those too...unfortunately. I just wish that Lost would wrap it up already

I feel for people who actually thought lost would be a good show.  It's common sense that it'd end up sucking because the core concept of the show is flawed.  To put it bluntly, gilligan's island is not a valid plot for a serious drama in 2007. 


I dunno what everyone is complaining about... the heroes ending was perfect.  I'm not sure what you guys expected, but this is NOT a action show and thus some big epic battle at the end was out of the question.  The show is smallville on steroids basically.... They made a wise decision by actually closing the season 1 storyline and not doing some lame cliff-hanger.  I remember surface, which was critically acclaimed had one of those big, epic cliff-hangers and it didn't return the next season.  It makes for some definate frustration and the way networks are cancelling shows for no apparent reason, nothing is ever certain.

With that being said, either I need to be a tv writer, or the show is a tad predictable.  I've predicted every single plot twist, who dies and who lives, ect....  That's not necessarily a bad thing though as I find how I would write the show to be more interesting than your typical tv pos.

I'm also not sure what all the big praise for the future episode is for.  Ming you it was well written, but it's an oooooooold sci-fi plot device, going back as far as early seasons of Star Trek: TNG.  Nothing ground breaking here, I'm suprised they didn't throw in a "mirror mirror" episode for good measure.  ;)

On the other hand, Jericho's ending was the one that was crap.  Hmm... let's see, after an entire season of none of the main characters dying (and remember this is post-apocalypse, so that's insainely un-realistic) the best ending they could come up with is to kill off a third-teir character that isn't crucial to the plot anyway.  Oh and the whole army thing.... they didn't even bother to come up with something new, they just recycled the plot device from half-way through the season.  Jericho had another season ahead of it, but that's about it. 

Heros could go on indefinately though.  The reason behind this is real simple.  The good thing about a show with super heros in it is even if the writers take a nap for a few episodes, super-powers are bad-ass and thus it's still interesting to watch.
