Heroes Season 2 DVD Review
In this 2nd Season of the fantastic cult hit “Heroes” the saga continues with our heroes Peter and Nathan Patrelli, Hiro, our favorite cheerleader Claire, and of course the evil super villain Syler, but we also meet some new heroes, and villains, with some very interesting story lines and abilities, some seen before, and some very new indeed, but all very intriguing . This is one series that you’ll be wanting to watch with no distractions, no interruptions, and no commercials, so I would definitely recommend this box set. This is definitely one of my favorite TV series of all time, and I can’t wait for the new season to begin, and now that I’ve updated myself with the 2nd season, I am more than ready for season premiere. Whether its your first time watching the series, or you just want to get a refresher for the premiere like me, this box set is the best and most complete way to watch the series and with all the bonus features and deleted scenes, it will quickly make you a fan and follower of this phenomenal series.
In this series, we catch up with our heroes and villains 4 months after the heroes save the world. We catch up with Peter Petrelli who now has amnesia and has no idea who he is or what has happened, and he begins to realize what he can do. Our favorite cheerleader Claire is now hiding after changing her name and moving to a different city and school , all to protect her family and herself from The Company, who after learning of her abilities in Season one, would love nothing more than to exploit her and examine her. She has to hide her extraordinary abilities by being very average and normal, so as not to attract attention, meanwhile she begins to experiment with her abilities in secret. Hiro now finds himself in the past with his hero Takezo Kensei, learning that the stories he always heard about him are less than truthful, but determined to make him the hero he’s always heard about in his fathers stories, he begins to shadow him and help him accomplish his deeds whenever possible, so that the past may be preserved, and finds that Takezo Kensei has abilities of his own. Syler, our villian finds himself in the middle of nowhere, recovering from the sword wound he obtained in the season one finale, and having no abilities, begins a bloody quest in attempt to recover what he has lost, leaving many dead along the way , true to his villainous nature. there are also new heros such as West, Claires new love interest who’s ability is flying and ironically detests the man with the horned rimed glasses, who kidnapped him long ago and of course is Claires father. We also meet Maya and Alejandro, siblings who meet Sylar along their quest to find Dr. Suresh, and find their fates intertwined with his, not knowing how evil he is. Maya brings death with her tears, while only her brother can absorb her anger and undo the death she brings about, but she feels a kinship with Sylar because of her ability, not realizing that he brings death for enjoyment while she does it with no malice, she just has no control. We also catch up with Micah, and meet his cousin who has copycat abilities where she can mimic actions just by watching them. WE meet all kinds of new heroes and villains along with seeing our old favorites fates unfold and their abilities begin to develop even further, but there is a virus that threatens both our beloved heroes and villains alike, first it takes their abilities then their live, and it first targets only the ones with the abilities, but they soon find out that a mutation of the virus will wipe out most of the worlds population if they don’t stop it. Can the heroes find out in time how to stop the virus or are they facing another end of the world scenario once again?
You should definitely add this box set to your collection and find out if our Heroes can save the world once again. You’ll love the way the characters develops, how there is good and bad in each of our heroes, how they learn to control and appreciate their abilities. You really begin to root for the heroes and become absorbed in their trial and tribulations, their joys, and triumphs as well as their tears and failures. You’ll laugh and cry with them, but ultimately you will become a fan in the truest sense of the word.. I know I am, and you know exactly where you can find me on Sept 22.
