SPOILER ALERT: This post contains heavy spoilers for the 2nd season of Heroes. You had been warned :-P
Like many Heroes fans out there, I was quite disappointed at how the second season of Heroes played out. I mean the first 2 episodes started out nicely but as soon as it hit the 3rd episode things started to go downhill. Sylar was relegated into a side show, Micah and Monica story-arc serves no purpose and don't even get me started with all the cheesy love stories playing out all at once this season.
Just when all things look bleak for Season 2 things got somewhat interesting when we found out that Takezo Kensei was actually Adam Monroe, the person who founded the company who was also a huge influence of Linderman's 0.07% theory in Season 1. What makes things even more interesting is how Hiro Nakamura is indirectly responsible for everything that ever happened to the world so far and also how the world is going to end in another year's time.
Just when Heroes started to get me interested again, the producers announced that due to the Writer's Strike the season will end with Episode 11. With only one episode to go I was crossing my fingers and hope that Season 2 will end with a cliffhanger and continues with Season 3 as I feel there isn't much build up yet for the Virus story arc to end just yet but unfortunately the think otherwise and ended the story arc at the season finale. Everything in the season finale looks extremely rushed. The showdown between Hiro and Peter sucked badly and Adam Monroe this season's big baddie was relegated badly into nothing more than an extra just to make Hiro Nakamura look good. What is even more frustrating is that they did not tie up the loose ends which leaves more questions than answers such as what happened to Kaitlin? A few minutes ago Peter was so determine to get her back and when things settled down he just forgot all about her? Or where is The Haitian? Just when you think he is going to have an important role this season he disappeared into thin air... again. Why didn't the founders just killed Adam when they knew that blowing his head off will kill him?
After what was a rollercoaster ride that was Season 1, Season 2 is nothing but a Go-kart that refuses to break 30km/h. Let's just hope Heroes can redeem itself next season.
P.S: Who the hell shot Nathan? Hopefully its not Noah if not it will be pretty damn predictable.
