“… but my feeling is that the show wasn’t even that good in season 1, outside of a handful of episodes (“Five Years Later,” “Company Man”), but the novelty of it, the cliffhangers, and our misguided belief that this was all going somewhere fooled us into thinking “Heroes” was better than it actually was. Once we got the season one finale, and especially once we got season two, the blinders came off and we realized the emperor has no clothes, and probably never did.”

So, yeah, just be glad you haven’t seen Season 2. And if you’re thinking about watching it? DON’T!! Spare yourself the pain!

I think what’s so painful is that it really wouldn’t be that hard to fix. Especially after Tim Kring admitted they made mistakes. Sadly, I don’t think he looked to hard at what those mistakes were, especially in regards to the sketchy racism and sexism. When you start your third season with *all* the female characters playing victim in some form or fashion (and your biggest female lead being metaphorically raped) that’s pretty much a giant sign that it’s time for me and this show to break up.
