‘Heroes’ recapping, plus an apology from Tim KringMy weekly recapping of the latest episode of Heroes is up now at Film.com. Check it out here. In related news, via the IMDB: The creator of hit TV show Heroes has issued a humbled apology to U.S. fans for a disappointing start to the second season. The superhero show, starring Hayden Panettiere and Masi Oka, was the top-rated new drama in the U.S. last year. But audience figures have taken a dip -- with one recent episode placed 30th in the overall ratings. And creator Tim Kring admits his choice of storylines were a mistake. He tells magazine Entertainment Weekly, “We assumed the audience wanted season one -- a build up of intrigue about these characters and the discovery of their powers. They wanted adrenaline. We made a mistake -- we took too long to get to the big-picture story.” Referring to the recent romantic plotlines, he adds, “In retrospect, I don’t think romance is a natural fit for us.” Wow. Now, if we can get just apologies for Chuck, Journeyman, and Viva Laughlin, we’ll be in good shape. support

I admit, Season One was better than Season Two. But I really don't consider it to be bad either. I keep hearing people saying that Season Two has been a disappointment, and I really don't get that. I love Adam as a character, and while I agree that the "romance" aspect of many of the story-lines hasn't been great, I thought that at least Peter's "romance" was OK. The cheerleader/flyboy romance does suck. Her sidekick in Season One was way better. On the whole, though, I can't say Season Two has been bad. There's plenty of stuff on TV right now that make me want to gag, and Heroes is still a refreshing departure from the usual crap.

I love Journeyman! In fact, along with Life, it's my favorite of the new crop of shows.

why do you think Hiro is going to die? why not... uhm, Matt for instance? or Nathan. again.

I think it'll be Maya and Monroe who bite the big one.
Personally, I think Chuck is pretty good. Got just the right amount of wit, and McG (who's responsible for the dreck known as the Charlie's Angels movies) has toned down his obnoxiousness a bit.

I think someone's going to die fighting Adam, and it can't be Peter: he's the conscience of the show.
I don't want Hiro to die, but I do think his death -- if it's done right -- could be the most dramatically satisfying of any of the characters'.
