So, does no one give a shit about Heroes?

Between the ad campaign ("If you hated last season, please come back! We've changed!") and news of folks coming back from the dead already, it just sounds like Fozzie just did a trick on his motorcycle that would've inspired one of our mods to ask for the shark repellent bat-spray.

Not sure what Fozzie bear or a motorcycle have to do with anything . . .

i don't see what the issue was with season 2. i've liked it throughout.

Even Tim Kring has said season 2 sucked balls. And I would say he's the definitive authority on Heroes.

I don't think season two sucked balls. Underwhelming, yes, but far from a train wreck. Season three seems to be picking up some slack.

Vyn is in a minority, though. Not saying anyone's dissenting opinion is bad (even I think the short Season 2 clip I saw was better than everything I saw from Season 1), but the consensus seems to be it wasn't very good.

Oh, and, uh, I meant Fonz. Though the mental image of Fozzie Bear saying, "Hey, watch me jump a shark with my motorcycle. Wokka wokka wokka!" is a funny Freudian slip.

i think people didn't like certain aspects like peter's "missing time" and it seemed a bit slower than the first season.

I liked most of Season 2 as it aired, and thought the whole thing worked better on DVD, where I could watch the whole season in a week.

Maya and Alejendro were not only dragged out far too long, but served only one purpose: Sylar.
Monica and Micah were the even worse than the Mexican wonder twits. That story served absolutely no purpose.
I initially didn't like the Claire/West story also, but it wasn't bad on on DVD.
Hiro's and Peter's stories dragged on too long, but were good once they stopped dragging their feet story-wise. Once the writer's strike seemed inevitable and they realized they needed to step up the pace in the last 4-6 epsiodes of the season, things got a lot better.

After seeing the crap that had to dropped because of the last minute rewrites, I think the writer's strike was a blessing in disguise.

All in all Season 2 wasn't nearly as bad as people made it out to be, but it still was a step down from Season 1 and Season 3 seems to be a big step in the right direction.
