Heroes Season 4

[footle]

Ooh, the radio times site says it's on BBC HD on the 1st, but at 10pm rather than 9pm on BBC 2.

I suspect I can wait a week for a HD showing and no downloading malarky.

What about an HD download though?

[SeanR]

There's a Heroes S03E00 out to download. Is this just a recap episode of Season 2?

webisodes?

[raphski]

Tv.com says:

Before the third season premiere, a brief recap of Seasons 1 and 2 and interviews with the cast at the premiere party is shown

[Stig]

Meh, cba with that. I know exactly whats happened, not the hardest of shows to remember.

[Campfire_Burning]

webisodes?

It can't be the webisodes. If it had been Arctic Feather would have burned his computer after deleting it.

[Kinketsu]

The Season Three two hour season opener was on tonight in North America. I personally thought it was quite shit, especially the first hour.

[SeanR]

yes. I can't believe this thread isn't chock full of spoilered spoilers yet.

[spork]

The Season Three two hour season opener was on tonight in North America. I personally thought it was quite shit, especially the first hour.

Yup, I just watched the first part and was bored throughout apart from the Hiro parts which were alright.

Is the second part worth persevering through? I feel like if I stop watching I'll miss out on all of the goodness that the build up to the finale will contain.

[Kinketsu]

The second part is slightly better than the first, so if you've already struggled through the first, you may as well watch the second. But neither of them were really what they ought to have been after 3/4 of a year.

[Barnard]

I hope the Eschaton turns up and says..

'I am the Eschaton. I am not your God.

I am descended from you, and exist in your future.

Thou shalt not violate causality within my historic light cone. Or else.'

[SqueakyG]

That was... hmm... fucking nonsense bullshit. Entertaining fucking nonsense bullshit, but fucking nonsense bullshit nonetheless. This is actually one of the most schizophrenic and insane shows I've ever seen. All laws of storytelling are thrown out of the window. Comic books are smarter than this.

Attempt to make Mohinder less annoying and more integral to the show: FAIL. I'm waiting for him to start being sick on his food.

So that entire arc of season 1, "Save the cheerleader", was all for shit? Just put the top of her head back on.

"Oh, but I am your mother..." This has a pretty big budget for a daytime soap opera.

[vcassano]

Wow they managed to make Mohinder even worse. Bravo. Although it is nice to see Marlo.

[oli]

Heroes went dramatically downhill when Eccleston left. It's a scientific fact

[ryodi]

Five Years Gone is as good as Heroes got and probably ever will. Everything since then has been a downware spiral.

I can't drag myself away from watching it although all the plotlines have been done a lot better through the medium of comic books. The whole 'It's so bad it's good' line fits this show perfectly.

It's entertaining to see which comic plot has been ripped off and badly adapted each season.

I view it as a comedic show that doesn't take itself too seriously, just like Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.

Although with Hercules, The actors seemed to be in on the joke. With Heroes, not so much.

[Strawp]

Entertaining enough for 90 minutes of my life but really, this is going to be another show like Lost where you just wish they'd stopped after the first series when it was still fresh and full of intrigue.

[vcassano]

But to be fair to Lost, the second half of season 3 and all of season 4 were excellent.

[Droo]

The start of this thread makes no sense - add a 'season 3 discussion starts on page X'.

[Matt Defis]

Well that was pile of shit.

[Tetchy]

Well, I got exactly what I wanted from a sci-fi series whose writer who has based his entire work on 70+ years of comic books and graphic novels and I'm intrigued as to what is going to happen.

Parkman trapped in Africa by Future Peter? Present Peter trapped in a villain's body? Future Peter changing things for the worse? Sylar altering Claire so she can't feel any pain? Angela Petrelli taking over The Company reins and claiming to be Sylar's mother? Nathan being the only one to see Linderman? Is she Nikki or is Tracy someone else entirely like a clone? Suresh's body changing into something else but what? Quite a few strands to begin with!

Oh and Suresh is one lucky beggar!

[fasteasyfree]

Oh and Suresh is one lucky beggar!

Was that dead skin?

[CactuarBill]

Yeah the first hour wasn't that good really, very slow and nothing of worth. Oh and they just replaced New York with Tokyo, what's with cities being destroyed?

The second hour was much better. Suresh is now Spider-Man but a hornier version. We'll see where the series heads, it's entertaining but it's nothing of worth yet.

The start of this thread makes no sense - add a 'season 3 discussion starts on page X'.

Done for you.

[SpaceJump]

Brundlemohinder, certain scenes seemed ripped from the fly anyone else notice that?

[JohnC]

Yeah the first hour wasn't that good really, very slow and nothing of worth. Oh and they just replaced New York with Tokyo, what's with cities being destroyed?

The paintings depict the entire world breaking apart, so I assume that is what is happening, rather than it being local Tokyo destruction.

[Garwoofoo]

You miserable lot. I really enjoyed it. Much pacier than the start of season 2 and generally just really fun.

[Tetchy]

Was that dead skin?

Not sure but I was referring to his liaisons with the lovely Maya.

[NecroMorrius]

well, heroes has entirely lost the plot, literally. How did such a gem become such a turd after the first season? Grumble.

[DarhkFox]

the plot is very messy.

but i enjoyed both episodes. they were not as bad as i was expecting after reading initial replys on this thread.

[Hexx]

An enjoyable mess.

Surely it's obvious who "Tracey" is though?

Jessica, the "dead" sister from when Nikki was young?
