re: **Official Heroes Reborn Thread** 2nd Part of Season Starts ! (YT Prequel In OP)

I think it is most likely that he is the bomb that went off and the end game will be keeping him away from Renaultis

I think they should have an episode called "how to stop an exploding man"

of all the new series that have come out so far, I think limitless is the best and it's not really close imo

i'd probably put quantico in 2nd

I'm watching Benders on IFC right now and it is a pretty damn good half hour dark comedy.

MOLLY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Just finished watching yesterday's episode.

1) Love the return of Mohinder Monologues and hope they're here to stay but the writing for the show is still really really bad.

I mean why wait until episode 4 to reveal that the aurora chick can revive things? That makes the aurora in the title not only make sense instead of just look cool but also makes Heroes Reborn a better name since she is obviously the focal point of the season.

That field of butterflies scene should have been in the 2 hour premiere.

2) The entire Mexican Batman story is just awful. I mean the Mexican Batcave is literally hidden by a removable see through gate that doesn't even have a lock. Mexican Alfred asks Mexican Robin to show his power in the middle of an open garage. Mexican Batman has less of a personality than Plank for Ed, Edd n Eddy.

3) The Haitian and Molly Walker dying before telling Noah what he forgot is frustrating, not interesting. And Noah's sidekick is awful. He might be bearable if Noah kept it real when he said something that was supposed to be witty that was stupid, but instead Noah offers equally comic book-esque comebacks that just don't fit his character imo. With the loss of his daughter and family I want to see Noah's darker side that we know he has, not bouncing off goofy oneliners with his neckbeard "partner".

4) If you cut down on the bland characters and have scenes that are logical then it would be interesting to learn about the evos being weaponized and what Milina's and Renatus' end games are. Instead its a chore to get through some scenes with baffling decisions by the characters and some characters that could be replace by a mannequin and have a better personality


tl;dr

Oh well. I figure this season is stuck on the same trajectory of "meh" but if it gets renewed maybe NBC will realize they need to hire a decent writer/editor to work with Kring because the ideas aren't bad.

If NBC didn't do this for the mini series that they hoped could relaunch a potentially huge franchise, what makes you think they'd all of a sudden figure it out after?

This show stinks.

I never watched the original but decided to give this a go. Was the original that much better than Reborn?

The first season? Yes. But this show is terrible all on its own anyway.

This season is on par with the second and third seasons of heroes.

I'd say its worse than even season 4 but it has been a while since I've watched those seasons

It isn't it's very season 2 in that the story is extremely open. I hate how far apart everything feels, and how so many of the stories are just not that interesting except for the main story elements

This is not the only problem

Heroes season 1 was built more upon the characters than the story. Without good characters nobody gives a shite about the story. Season 2 of Heroes at least had characters we were familiar with and cared about. Heroes Reborn does not have a single good character.

The "dark" and "intense" character Zachary Levi is playing ought to be Noah Bennett. I mean for God's sake he is torn up over his child dying. We saw Noah's devotion to Claire but he is able to move onto a new life and then crack jokes with Neckbeard McGee just a year later.

The OG Mexican Batman needed to stay around longer so we could get some context into why his brother is a frick up and how he became one. Yea we got the brief info that he was a soldier in Iraq or wherever but his brother was a hard worker and didn't seem to have much respect for him. Also, where is Mexican Batman's mother? That whole storyline is filled with awful characters and should just be scraped.

This season is so frustrating because the pieces are there but aren't arranged properly.

The only interesting storyline with characters that I care about is Tommy's.
