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

- Quality over Quantity
I loved this second season. The first was great, but I really thought things came together in the second. I know some people have complained there was too much character development and not enough action, but, for me, the balance was just right. I loved that we learned more about the characters and from that knowledge came a deeper understanding and respect.
It’s a pity the writer’s strike made this such a short season and that it changed the direction the story was going in. Still, it’s a … Read More

- Great product, not so great season
The whole package and extra contents are excellent, the video and audio transfer are incredible, the only problem is that this second season could have been so much better

- Heros -C-zon- dos
An interesting portrayal of heros based in todays modern society and how the world would deal with such people. Reminds me a little of a comic book series Rising Stars , but not really because RS is much more acurate. A good watch, I wouldent stand watching it on TV and waiting to C what happened next though. The goal of most is to make a good program, they manage to get close to telling the truth about the world but not crossing the NBS I mean NBC lines.

- While not the best, it has its moments.
I’ll admit it; when this season was first airing, I was bouncing around on the “I love it!” and “I hate it!” trains. Some episodes were, and still are, pretty amazing, while others are subpar at best, and the writer’s strike certainly didn’t help it much.
I did find, though, that when I watched one episode after the other, that it was a lot better than it had been when I was waiting a week between each episode. I found myself getting into it more than I had, and actually getting emotionally … Read More

- Better than we thought
After reading some online discussions about season two, my wife and I feared that this season wouldn’t be that great. To the contrary, it was better than we expected. Although this season was less action-packed as season one, it did set a lot of precedence and cleared up some confusion. Can’t wait for season three to come out on DVD. Once Sylar receives his powers back in full, we’re hoping to see Peter vs. Sylar vs. Adam. (Oh wait. Adam’s a little preoccupied 6 feet under…forgot). Anyway, look forward … Read More
