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

 Great June 26, 2009

Obviously it was a short season due to the writer's strike, but the Heroes dvd's are still great and packed full of extras.

I never got this DVD and never got any response from the seller. I also did not get a credit.
I am very unhappy with this seller.
It wasn't love at first view April 20, 2009
C. Paul (Hawaii)
I caught one of the shows from the first season on cable and was it was not an instant hit. However, I ended up watching the whole season 1 and was hooked...
I don't believe that this season was as good as the first or the third...
This show is about a variety of different people with super powers. Everyone has their own story line and they all come together to more or less "save the world".
 Not as great as the 1st season April 19, 2009
Michelle Scott (Philadelphia, PA)
Although I really did enjoy this season, it wasn't as good as the first. Their weren't as many surprises and plot twists, but I think that was mainly due to the fact that this season was affected by the writer's strike. If you like Heroes, I would recommend this.
