Now I remember
Jan. 24th, 2010 09:29 pmAs I watched episodes 10 & 11 of Heroes S2, I realised several things:
1) I hadn't seen either of these episodes (nor had I seen #9 either) and
2) the reason I hadn't seen these was because of the writer's strike in 2007.
That year all three major networks were, for the first time, trying to show all popular US shows just 24-48 hours after they showed in the US. When the strike was going to happen, they stopped showing Heroes S2 at #8 and then screwed around with the remaining episodes, trying to stretch them out over the next few months, also changing the timeslot repeatedly. In the end, I gave up in disgust.
When S3 came back on, it was enormously delayed so that was something like 18 months later. By that time I had long since forgotten how S2 ended. In addition they started changing timeslots repeatedly. I just couldn't get into S3 by that time and gave up.
I have to say that Heroes is growing on me - watching it on DVD seems to improve it because the continuity of the story is more apparent.
