Compulsive viewing Mar 12, 2010 It may have taken a few episodes to become hooked, but this family certainly did. Great entertainment.
I'm never quite sure whether to love "Heroes" or just wonder how it stays on TV Mar 09, 2010 I was quite impressed with the first season of "Heroes," but a lot of what happens in the series makes you shake your head . . . and the shaking increases with each season.
Every time I've picked up the new season of "Heroes," I've had to go back to the NBC recap site to find out what exactly happened at the end of the previous season. This sort of thing never happens with other shows, but after nine or twelve months between season viewings of "Heroes," I've got to go back for a refresher. The way the show jumps around in time and space and with certain characters dying/coming back or gaining/losing powers, it's a little hard to keep track. And thus began season 3.
The amount of disbelief that must be withheld in order to enjoy season 3 is astounding. One guy I won't identify pops through space and time stealing people's powers yet, for some reason, he also chooses to have an entourage of people with powers. Why not just take everyone's powers a la Sylar?
And speaking of Sylar, he continues to be one of the more interesting (albeit somewhat annoying) characters on the show as, this season, he seeks out his real parents and some sort of identity while continuing to expand his powers.
Noah Bennett and Matt Parkman are, hands down, the best and most likeable characters on the show, with Hiro and Ando coming in second. That Petrelli family--not to mention Ali Larter's character--will bug the pants off you. There is, however, a new character named Danko introduced who is quite interesting. He's a "powerless" human enlisted by Nathan Petrelli to hunt down people with abilities.
There are some interesting and welcome developments with the Bennett family this season.
I won't spoil it for you, but let me say that the season finale just might cause you to stop watching the show. Massive head shake there. Despite that, I'll go on to watch season 4, but some friends of mine have sworn off "Heroes" forever.
Look for Clint Howard and William Katt in small roles.
Worth a watch, but leave a lot of disbelief at the door.
Fairly solid Mar 09, 2010 So, after a short 2nd season due to a writers strike, I think the writers sat down and tried to kick the pace back up and try to get the show back on course. The first half of the season was, I thought, a bit weak. It wasn't really bad, just not very strong story-wise. The second half I thought was good. I think had season two been longer, we would have gotten volume 3 then and it may have been written a bit different. But, I thought volume 4 was well done and strongly written. I wasn't too big on the Sylar finding daddy storyline. I flip-flop on the Arthur Petrelli storyline; I like it, but I don't think it was executed as well as it could have. I don't know, overall this season isn't as strong as it should have been, but I thought it was pretty well done. My biggest complaint of the season is probably a bit petty, but when Peter lost his powers and got them back, I thought it was pretty stupid that he can only use one. I mean, he touches someone, gets their power, but loses it once he touches someone else. I just thought that was the dumbest thing they could do. But, I don't create the storylines, I just watch the show.
no glue? Mar 07, 2010 the dvds were great, not scratched or anything. they were brandnew, but all of them fell outta the box b/c i guess they forgot the glue? the little plastic sides that are actually glued to the cardboard....yeh, it was kinda of a pain, but i have a hot glue gun so itz not that bad, it was just unexpected so it annoyed me. lol.
Heroes season 3 Feb 22, 2010 So far it is the best season of Heroes. I was stuck from episode one all the way to the end. I hope season 4 is the same way.
