Heroes is back - who’s excited!

I have to admit I was a little slow on the uptake, having only watched the first series a month ago on loan from Mr. Fineman. I also didn’t actually realise the second helping of superhero excitement was just around the corner until Milo Ventimiglia (Peter Petrelli) was on Chris Moyles’ breakfast show this morning. Thank god it wasn’t too late! My only concern is how I’m going to cope with just one dose a week. Shows like Heroes, (and 24) are best watched by boxsets, when you are involuntarily compelled to get through at least 3-4 episodes in a row. And that’s on a light night. I guess I’ll just have to contain my excitement.

This may be controversial, but did anyone else find the last episode a bit dissatisfying after such a great build up? Although inevitably they left enough cliffhangers to carry our curiosity over to the new series. What happens to Hiro? Will Sylar come back somehow? What about Peter and Nathan? Well, as Chris Moyles pointed out this morning, it’s a bit of a giveaway that Milo is talking about filming the new series. More Peter Petrelli is fine by me! I just really hope it doesn’t turn into another Lost  that spirals into a rambling, unresolved mess of twists and milked plots.

Either way I’ll be watching. Season 2 starts this Thursday (24th April) on BBC2 at 9pm.

HIRO!!!!

    Totally agree, one of the few dramas (?) I look forward to. One of those “why didn’t someone think of this earlier type shows.
    -I also think the last episode was a bit messy, think there were too many things going on for the writers to deal with an it all ended a bit cheesy.

    I haven’t been overly impressed with the new series so far though, the first two episodes have felt a bit bland + apparently they were hit by the writers’ strike so they had to wrap up the last four shows into one!

    I loved Heroes to begin with, however after a few months break from my addiction I have found other shows which I much prefer, such as Prison Break, Lost and Grey’s Anatomy to name a few… Maybe it’s just been a long break and I need to give it another chance.
