Normally I try and analyze why I do and don’t like something, and it takes me a long time to write. But after watching Heroes Season 2, I realize that it’s so disappointing, it would be a huge waste of time to write for a long time on it. So here are my quick and dirty thoughts. (There may be some spoilers that follow, so be prepared.)

First of all: not every story is equal to every other story. I care about Claire but I don’t care about her troubles at school, not compared to what was going on with Peter and Nathan, or Hiro, or Matt Parkman. I would have liked to have seen more of their stories and less of Claire Bennett: troubled cheerleader. They introduced too many new characters, which gave the first half of the season a fractured feel. Two characters in particular didn’t grab my interest at all: I couldn’t have cared less about Maja & Alejandro if I tried. The return of Sylar? Awful. I never liked his character and was hoping we’d be done with him, but here he is again, trying to get his powers back. Ugh. Things picked up with the last three or four episodes, but three or four out of eleven is NOT a good average. By the end I was watching more out of habit than interest. I was never the biggest Heroes fan, but season two nearly snuffed my interest completely. I’ll give the next season a shot, but I’m not very hopeful about it.
