Editorial Review: Description: Rejoin the epic and suspenseful phenomenon as Heroes: Season 2 arrives on DVD! Experience all the new and exciting twists of the astonishing series in this 4-disc set that includes every gripping Season 2 episode. Plus, see what could have been with exclusive bonus features that reveal the untold stories that never aired and an alternate ending to the season finale, where the fate of humanity takes an ominous turn when Peter fails to catch the vial containing the deadly virus. Amazon.com: 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 Beyond Heroes – Season 2 on DVD

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not as good as Season 1 (or 3)Sadly, the writer's strike cut this season off short. Or perhaps mercifully? That didn't stop it from including a horrible storyline about a girl from New Orleans who learns wrestling moves from an ipod and daydreams about hurricane Katrina. The character was so unbearably horrible that they, and anyone else around them, have been cut from the third season. Other than that, the main villian of the show is absent for most of the episodes while a big portion of it occurs in ...

I was really surprised at how fast it got to me! I had absolutely no problems. The set was in perfect condition. Great Seller! Rating:  - A thundering disappointment after Season OneNot since Season Two of TWIN PEAKS has a good show fallen so sharply off in quality as HEROES in Season Two (and unfortunately, as of this day, Season Three). And never has a series so completely belied its name. The fundamental problem with HEROES is that there are no heroes. There are people with super abilities, but no one acts especially heroic. There are no clearly demarcated good guys and no clearly delineated bad guys. Instead, characters are apparently good for a while and ...

It is done well and I'm able to go directly to the show I want to see. Browse for similar items by category:
