So, rather than resurrect an old thread, figured we'd start fresh with the upcoming season. If you don't know what the show is, feel free to read up or even watch the show.
So, some rumors from around the web as to what's going to happen in season 2. Spoilered for your convenience.
What do you want to see happen in season 2?
Mostly, I'd like to see what Hiro does in the past. A lot of people think he's going to meet his father, who is most likely immortal, and become the Kensei that he heard so many stories of as a child.
Here's what the show's creator had to say:
Not too sure what to think about the spinoff, Heroes: Origins idea. Maybe it won't turn out to be as horrible as it seems to be on paper - American Idol v 2.0.

So, some rumors from around the web as to what's going to happen in season 2. Spoilered for your convenience.
The season premiere and the episode following will introduce a lot of new recurring characters and regulars. Here is, in point form, the casting spoilers TV Squad was sent about episodes 2.01 and 2.02 of Season 2 of Heroes:
* The yet-to-be-titled Season 2 premiere will introduce new series regular Maya, a Hispanic woman in her mid 20s. Could she be linked with Alejandro who'll recur next season?
* The episode will also introduce Kane, a recurring character that may become a possible regular. This man in his late 20s is referred, in the info we were given, as an ageless American with an European feel. He is said to be a charming womanizer who as a soul that seems to be older than he appears to be.
* A new Japanese recurring female character will be named Princess Keriyama.
* A few high school characters living in California will be added to the recurring cast. They are: Gay cheerleader April; charming 18-year-old West, who doesn't fit in much; May, a mean cheerleader high schooler.
* Other recurring characters making their first appearances in the premiere are: Georgie and Blackie, two Irish thieves, who are under orders of 45ish ringleader Ricky; friendly 40-year-old mild-mannered Bob who is said to be the "unassuming face of a very powerful organization"; NYPD detective Kincaid.
* The second episode will introduce new regular Monica. She is a beautiful African-American in her late 20s. She is very kind to people and always thinks of them before taking care of herself.
According to Reuters, four new regulars would be added to the show, including a new boyfriend for Claire (could it be West listed in our spoilers above?) and a black woman who is said to be Micah's surrogate mother (Monica?). The article says that recurrings like Ricky may do arcs instead of being regulars.

Mostly, I'd like to see what Hiro does in the past. A lot of people think he's going to meet his father, who is most likely immortal, and become the Kensei that he heard so many stories of as a child.
Here's what the show's creator had to say:
Tim Kring, creator of NBC’s hit series Heroes, told SCI FI Wire that the upcoming second season will constitute a new volume in the multi-volume series, with new characters and an entirely new storyline. “If you remember, the opening of the pilot pronounced the episode as the beginning of Volume One,” Kring said in an interview. “Volume One comes to a conclusion at the end of episode 23, and Volume Two starts with the opening of season two. And Volume Two is a different story.”
Kring added: “We could have new people and new storylines and new ideas and new threats and new bad guys and new heroes. So I would prepare the audience for that idea, that it’s not just a continuing serialized storyline about only these people. It’s a little more the 24 model than the Lost model.”
The first season of Heroes is exploring what happens when a disparate group of ordinary people discover they have extraordinary abilities and attempt to save New York from disaster.
“Heroes needs to evolve, and if we are positing an idea that this is happening all over the world to many, many people, then we get to see some of those people and see how their story fits in.”
Kring also confirmed that some of the current heroes just might not survive this season, but added: “Many of your favorites will live to fight again.”
Not too sure what to think about the spinoff, Heroes: Origins idea. Maybe it won't turn out to be as horrible as it seems to be on paper - American Idol v 2.0.

Mostly, and this won't come as a surprise to people that read what I wrote in the last Heroes threads, I want to see anything at all except Hiro in the past.
3DS: 1607-3034-6970
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
I think they are doing that between the first and second halves of the next season? Not positive though.
took out her barrettes and her hair spilled out like rootbeer
That character then becomes a regular on the show.

Hurray for appealing to mainstream stereotypes of attractiveness.
I don't want to see "broken" powers - someone with the powers of Storm would be totally busted. I'm expecting someone with super speed, like Flash, maybe another iceman that actually gets some screen time, and maybe a Cyclops-type character.
they don't it be like it is but it do
Yeah, let's have programs full of fat ugly chicks instead.
I thought the illusionist chick was awesome hot, actually, rather than the illegal cheerleader.
I hope it doesn't end up like the X-Men with a group of beautiful normal looking heroes and an underclass of Ugs and malcontents swayed by Sylar.
You can't have Sylar "turn good."
He eats brains.
This is Sylar on your brain on morphine.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I'd much rather have less kids in the show... Actually, kids are fine - its the teen angst I can do without. They've done the "oh why cant I just fit in?" thing. Hopefully they'll move on.
More politics, evil corporations etc please!
EDIT:
Do we have a date for season 2 yet?
A rather exhaustive list of Season 2 spoilers can also be found here .
they don't it be like it is but it do
Sylar can be good. I have firsthand experience with this!
For hotness, I liked Mind-Control girl... I was ensaddened by her passing.
On Topic: I hope the Origins idea works... Heroes lost like, half its audience during the hiatus, on par with other shows, to be sure, but it sucks when a good show takes a hit like that...
Although, if you were paying attention, the illusionist chick was actually really fat.
Yes, but the illusion of her hot self was not stereotypically cheerleader hot.
He did an episode of Veronica Mars in season 2 that was pretty good. At least, I think he did it... he was definitely in it.
I always wondered why she didnt revert back to being fat when she died.
Chasing Amy is an amazing movie. I think he can handle an episode of heroes.
Alluding to it is fine, nobody wanted to some huge whale lying dead on the floor.
Maybe all that stuff she said about being fat or ugly was just her messing with us? Cause that's what she does? I dunno, I'm just throwin' stuff out here.
They actually showed her 'real' self in the comic.
Link to the Kevin Smith article. Also mentions that Origins is supposed to start in April.
Also from the article, "The Japanese dudes are gay, right?"
I loved Heroes in the beginning but there was a point where the writers either got lost (heh, a pun!) or started doing a lot of drugs. Once the story stopped taking place in the present and started hopping around time to things that "would be cool if this happened", I felt like the show fell apart.
And that break in the middle of the season was a killer. I didn't feel like that wait was justified after I saw the episodes.
I'll Tivo this show and fast forward through it just like I did with Jericho after the 2nd episode, but that is about it. I gave up on that show a few episodes later. (Jericho)
I wish the show would go back to the format we saw in the first few episodes where things were all about the initial characters. It seemed like the end of the season was all about adding new characters, enough already, start letting the main characters do something.
I feel like the show became so popular that everyone wanted to be a part of it so the writers were hoping that overloading us with characters and interlinked half assed story lines would make everyone like the show even more.
Stick with the core people from the first few episodes and let them do cool stuff. So much waiting with no pay off on this show. They are headed down the same road as Lost.
I figure she used to be overweight, eventually lost the weight thus explaining her present appearance, but was still left with the self-esteem issues from her youth, hence what she told Micah and all.
also, I thought she just got KO'd, not killed?
If I hadnt set BeyondTV to record new episodes of Heros I wouldnt have known it was back on.
Well assuming I wasnt hip deep in the last heroes thread.
I think TV shows are becoming arrogant in their value. I think they take breaks at certain times of the year for holidays and don't bother making new content to make up for the lost time because they think people will be desperately wanting more just like they were last week.
Shows that take these breaks are doomed in my opinion. The loss of viewers each year will eventually cripple the show.
It could be a business practice that makes TV stations more money. If you have a popular show that had massive ratings all through the first season then signing everyone on for another season would cost LOTS of money. If you make them take a break during the season popularity of the show will probably be low enough to make the cast desperate to keep their jobs. If you have a pilot show that might be a break out hit this would be in the best interest for the studio, because enough viewers will probably stick with the show to keep it profitable enough and the money made will be more than what you'd make if you had to pay the cast top dollar...
I think I just figured out why they have these insane breaks! What a bunch of scumbags!!!
Wait, what comic was that? I thought I read all of them, unless they continued after the season finale.
