4.0 out of 5 stars Another somewhat disappointing episode of last year's breakout show, October 23, 2007
By Robert Moore (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
First, my four-star rating is a tad generous. I rounded it up from the three and a half that it deserves.

A host of fans and ex-fans and critics have thoroughly thrashed HEROES so far this season. I doubt if this episode and the incredibly disappointing use of Kristen Bell will turn things around. The reason the show has gone south is easy to locate: the writing is simply below par. This comes out in a host of ways. Let me enumerate just a few.

First, after a fun Season One in which we were all waiting for the various heroes to come together, they were all immediately dispersed in the first episode of Season Two. Structurally, everything that happened in Season One screamed for some unification of the characters. But nothing like this occurred. Instead, the series feels like it has been restarted. Not good.

Second, instead of focusing on the already large cast of characters, they decided to introduce a large number of new characters. I think the fury of many fans against the Central American sister and brother making their way north is more than anything anger that time is being spent on characters other than those already established. And while I really like Dana Davis and think she is the cutest thing this side of sliced toast, her power seems too similar to Peter's. Anything she sees others do, she can do as well. Anyone with a power, Peter can acquire by being in close proximity.

Third, the stories simply aren't very interesting so far. It is possible that the foundation for an interesting story later on is being laid, but not much so far has actually been very compelling.

The introduction of Kristen Bell is a prime example of what has gone wrong with the show. I've avoided spoilers so I wasn't sure what her power was going to be (though had I seen the teaser that Amazon's Unbox uses to introduce it I might have). They reveal her power almost immediately and in such a mundane way! Wasted opportunity guys! It should have been teased out a bit. And after she finds out where Peter Petrelli is she is called away from Ireland to another part of the world. Why? The only interesting thing about her debut was the revelation that she works for her father. But here again I'm afraid that HEROES is going to disappoint. Usually when we get info like that in a well written show we imagine that we don't know who the father is, only to learn later that we do. My fear is that we haven't met her father but that he will be an entirely new character.

I enjoyed HEROES in Season One, but I always thought it was somewhat overrated by many fans. I was astonished that anyone considered this better than LOST, let alone vastly superior shows like BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. And PUSHING DAISIES can be added to that list. But this year so far at least 15 or 20 shows have been better. I gave Season One a five-star review and I do feel that it deserved it. But overall so far I would give Season Two a three. But I tend to be an optimist. I both hope and believe it will get better.

One last word. I wonder what the departure of Bryan Fuller as Consulting Producer has meant for the show. He wrote what was far and away the best episode of HEROES so far, the absolutely splendid (and Emmy nominated) "Company Man." I don't know how much he brought to the show. But I do know this: so far HEROES has been a disappointment, while Bryan Fuller's new show PUSHING DAISIES has debuted with three absolutely astonishing episodes. I hope the title of Fuller's new show doesn't eventually apply to his old one.
