With the start of season two of Heroes, I suddenly realized that I had too much fun watching season one to do any reviews of it. Heroes is such a great show, wonderfully complex plots and all, that I just didn't think of it sooner.

Despite watching it from the very first episode. And thinking I needed to add it to this site.

Heroes is the story of previously ordinary people discovering that they have extraordinary powers. The theme throughout the first season is "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World". Claire is that cheerleader, and in a lot of ways she should be pretty easy to save. You see, her power is to heal herself from any injury... even death.

Is anything ever that simple? 

Many of the heroes mean to do well. Hiro, for example, can travel through time and space at will, and is determined to be a hero, and to prove himself to his father. Matt is a cop who can read minds. Peter can copy the powers of those he touches, and while he tries to use it for good, he fears that he will be the one to destroy New York City because he can't control all of the powers he has absorbed.

But of course there's the darker side. Most obvious is Sylar, who kills to gain the powers of others with these special abilities. He's not the only villian, but he's the most obvious one to his fellow heroes.

There's also a very secretive organization that is involved and trying to get in control.

The plots are incredibly complex, with many subplots. You never know who knows who or what the future, forseen by two different characters, will really turn out to be the way they have forseen?

The season finale of Heroes had me screaming in frustration at the television. It wasn't the best season ending I've ever seen, but if you didn't see it I really can't give it away. But I really, really wanted to chew a couple of the characters out for not being thorough enough.
