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

5 out of 5 stars LOVE THIS SHOW   October 7, 2008
Brad James (Denver, CO.)
The only problem I have with this installment to the series, Is that it is too short. (It is only really a half season do to the writers strike) It had been so long I actually went and watched the first season again to refresh what happened. I watched this entire set of disks in a single day. I couldn't stop till it was all watched.


4 out of 5 stars Really enjoyed it   October 7, 2008
D. Tang (USA)
I caught up on all my Heroes viewing in two nights. How awesome is that. I can't wait for the Season 3 DVD.


4 out of 5 stars Good, not great   October 6, 2008
Richard M. Garcia
Season Two of Heroes is a good season, but not a great season. It pales in comparison to the second season. I will put this blame on the writer's strike that occurred at the time. Overall, I would still recommend this season to anyone.


4 out of 5 stars Not Season One, but still compelling   October 6, 2008
J. Harriss (Minnesota)
Another year, another big mystery and the world to save. Lots of new heroes, lots of changes for the original set. Hiro goes back in time, Matt and Mohinder are caring for Molly, Micah goes to post-Katrina New Orleans. Both Hiro's dad and Micah's grandma are former Star Trek stars, leading me to wonder if there's a connection there....

It's not as fascinating as season one, and the price is a little high for a half-season shortened by the strike, but if you're a Heroes fan, you should definitely pick it up.



5 out of 5 stars Fascinating Heroes!   October 5, 2008

My entire family enjoys Heroes, and we thought this DVD set was very good. The extra information was fun to watch and helpful to understanding the series.
