Heroes: Season 4 [Blu-ray]

I am a fairly NEW HEROES fanatic as I had neva seen a single episode until this past March when i purchased the DVD on sale in targer for $19.99 ( it was normally $60 )so for $19.99 i figured even if the show sucked ( which many people who watched the show as again I personally had NOT told me it did ) what could it hurt. I lit up a fat joint and procededd to watch Heroes season 1 by the end of the first disc ( first 2 eps ) i was huked literally on the edge of my seat as i wacthced nearly 11 episodes in one day and continued on the next day finishing off the first and spectauclar season. I quickly purchased the 2nd season of HEROES the very next weekend excited as a kidd on christmas eve to watch what happend next. Once again litt up a fat ass joint and procedded to watch HEROES season 2. IMO the show picked up quickly rite where it left off with a great new plot about who and why the " COMPANY " was formed and someone being out to get all the founders IMO that was a great way too start season 2 , HowEver it was the payoffs and explanations that soured the expirence of the second season for me as i felt they were lazy and the writters took the EZ way out. OverAll i wouldnt say it was as bad as some other people have and still to this day do but it definitly fell short oft his fans expectaions Season 3 again IMO was excellent not quite as good as Season 1 but very good none the less espically the second volume " Fugitives" was awsome. The only complinte I have wit this season is the Finale as it was IMO subpar to be kind and the writter/director not showing us the fight scene between the nathan/peter/sylar was inexcuseable. Overall Sason 3 was definitly worth the watch Now onto season 4 as i have Not yet seen it i can not comment on the quaility of season 4 I am intriguied despite the negitive reviews i continue to read and them ost obvious the show was cancelled due to poor rateings so how good could it be rite? Well despite all that i still purchased this highly priced DVD set and look foward to forming my own opinion on Heroe season 4

great series!!

The product I purchased was an excellent condition. I have always had good luck purchasing things from shop Goodwill.

Happy to find

This is my favorite season of the series. This season revolves around the usual characters: Claire, Sylar, Peter, Matt, Hiro etc. But it also adds new and exciting characters like: Samuel, Edgar, Eli, Rebecca, Emma etc. Like it has been for the first three seasons, season four introduces a universal villain: Samuel. And his powers, well, let's just say are a little unearthly. I love the setting here. Introducing this new villain meant adding a carnival as the main setting for the whole season. I love carnivals and amusement parks. I was not expecting that end. A good end by the way. It is a shame that shows like this don't survive. I usually don't watch TV shows but I was hooked to Heroes since the very first episode. The show is full of action, mystery, and drama. This is the type of show were you get to know and remember the characters well. It is progressive and each episode must be watched in chronological order to understand the story.

Heroes season 4/volume 5 started off with a promise of a fresh new start for the characters that have been put through the wringer of the past four volumes. My main problem with this season was the obvious lack of support from NBC and show runner/creator Tim Kring. Many hold s1 as the Ultimate Season of the series, and the writers decided to keep pulling plots from there for no reason other than to assume some form of "continuity" or throwback where none was called for. The current change in the viewing standards did not help, either, with more and more people preferring to watch shows on their own schedules, especially on a busy night like Monday, as well as the growth of internet viewing on torrents, both legal and illegal. Added to this was the "digital changeover" which was pushed back once, and still considered a disaster. I only kept my cable this past winter to watch Heroes, then immediately cancelled it once the season was over. Why pay $40+/month for maybe a dozen hours of TV viewing? I'd hate to be living outside an area with NO cable opportunities, currently, as there are several areas around me like that. Back to Heroes, I enjoyed the first two seasons, even if the latter was cut short due to the Writers Strike. the main problem came when Kring decided to abandon several MAJOR s2 plots at the start of s3 assuming "people will have forgotten, anyway", causing much dissension in the fan ranks. Several characters were introduced in s2 that were promptly forgotten (actor contracts ended) or immediately written out (Molly/Caitlyn)/killed off (Adam/Maury) in early s3 with little to no justification other than to say "forget s2 existed!" um, NO. Volume 3 was uneven at best, and ridiculous at worst. Promises of lots of action fell flat when the alleged Big Bads were immediately pushed aside for some nonsense about the "Super Formula". Major Credit to several of the actors who managed to pull off a decent performance here amongst the Writers' publicized infighting and idiotic turns with their characters. When your actors refuse to do a scene the way one hack belligerently wrote it, you might have a problem. Volume 4 showed new promise, but was soon a rollercoaster ride of logic and nonsense, with several unnecessary diversions (Annapurna = Prop 8 propaganda) while other, more prominent plot points were glossed over, if not outright ignored. Again, several new characters were forced into the "Fugitives" arc, only to disappear before being written out, and a few were shown to be knocked off (Daphne). And let's not even get into the Big Finale Fight Scene which took place BEHIND CLOSED DOORS! It may have paid off in terms of story, but MANY fans were angered by the fact Kring admitted publicly he REFUSED to write such a scene because it would take too long to film and give everyone their proper due, even tho said scene involved FOUR PEOPLE. Which brings us to season 4/volume 5: Redemption aka "The CLAIRE! Show! (...and friends)" with Hayden Panettierre taking center stage in almost every episode, even when there was absolutely NO REASON for her to be in certain scenes. Then there was the kerfluffle of her character "going gay" which was all of one surprise kiss from her college roommate a few episodes in and later on, they held hands and walked out of a scene. The only useful thing she really did this season was make her mother's new "boy friend" faint when she sliced open her arm at Thanksgiving. Zach Quinto's Sylar was in most of the episodes as well, but that was more because of Sylar's situation of literally being in two places at once due to the previous season finale. Some of my favorite scenes this season were of Quinto and Greg Grunberg's Matt Parkman. These two should deserve an Emmy nod/nom for their work together this season. On the other hand, the once bad ass Noah "HRG" Bennet (Jack Coleman) was reduced to "mid-life crisis dad" and given the run around. He was obviously supposed to partner with Ali Larter's Tracy Strauss this season, but her commitment to the Resident Evil movies prevented that (she disappeared halfway through the season, only to reappear in one scene for the finale), so she was essentially replaced with a retconned/never-before-seen "ex-Company coworker"/love interest for HRG. At least she wasn't degraded like Masi Oka's Hiro was -AGAIN- this season with his "brain damage" (at least we got closure on Hiro and Jayma Mays' Charley relationship from s1). luckily, Sendhil Ramamurthy's Mohinder Suresh got to sit out most of the nonsense due to his prior film commitments, as well, making a handful of appearances before literally saying "goodbye" after making a deus ex machina device that was never used. This season started again with much potential and a tight storyline until the writer's realized they had 19 hours to fill with maybe 12 hours of story. the Nathan-as-Sylar (aka "Sathan/Nylar") arc was ended early and the season began floundering after the winter hiatus because of that, with several filler episodes and the sudden revelation of Robert Knepper's Samuel Sullivan reasoning that he's doing all of his bad deeds to impress his high school sweetheart he kidnaps (even tho it's made clear earlier he didn't even ATTEND any high school!), as well as scare the "normal" people into respecting the Specials, much like Magneto in X-Men. When (a couple of) the Heroes -including a now-reformed Sylar- ultimately decide to stop lallygagging about and end Sullivan's plans to destroy Central Park on live TV, CLAIRE! goes ahead with part of his plan anyway and exposes them on live TV, which is where we leave off for the series in a throwback to her opening s1 scene where CLAIRE! injures herself for the cameras one last time. There was early talk of a "wrap up event" or mini-series, which was then downgraded into a two hour movie, but even that is now proving to be a mere pipe dream by the true fans. Even the last few online comics were delayed a few weeks then almost a month for the last chapter, despite Kring's wish they keep going, and Heroeswiki has essentially ceased, despite some recent "updates" on character bios obviously meant for the comics. The idea for having a group of "Specials/outsiders/freaks hiding in plain sight" was a good one (if used before in comics and other media stories since Tod Browning's FREAKS), and even bringing in Knepper and Ray Park (on occasion) and bringing back s3's David H Lawrence (xvii)'s Doyle among others to flesh out these people should have worked, but once again, with no control/direction over the writers and a show runner who never planned more than one season, the show has been granted an early release into TV Land. Forget syndication. A shame, really, when they could have done so much more, but for the network and incompetence behind the scenes and the writers fanwanking to a few cast, ignoring others. No wonder ABC is already trying their stab at it for the 2010 season with "No Ordinary Family", a Fantastic Four/Incredibles riff (which has already had two cast jump ship???). Farewell, Heroes, it was quite the journey. I'd just like to thank some of you for making it worthwhile. You know who you are.

While this season focused more on some characters and less on others, it was still a very enjoyable season of this show. The fact that the show was canceled after this season leaves the ending as a cliffhanger, however, and even though it's not an unbearably suspenseful ending, it was disappointing to see it end at that point. There was interesting, in-depth character development for the characters who were not excluded, which was definitely one of the strong points of the season. The main conflict of this season was portrayed differently than in others, which made it entertaining despite being an unusual path for the show. All in all, it's a very enjoyable season of an excellent show that should not have ended when it did.

This Is The Final Season Of Heros and I Was Sorry That They Did Not Continue It/ In the 4th.Season They Featured A New Actor To This Series/ROBERT KNEPPER and He is In The Complete 4th.Season And As His Acting Goes He BLEW Me Away/This Guy is So Great That I Put Him In A Class with the old time Actors Like Edward G.Robinson and George Arliss//You'll Be Seeing Much More Of Robert Knepper He Really Is What I call A Natural Actor Like Telly Savales And It Would Not Surprise Me If Some Time in The Future We Might See Him Star in the Leading Role In Some Movie Or TV Series/ The Pacing Acting Direction and Scripts Are Just Wonderful/The Complete 4 Seasons are Just Great/So Treat Yourself To Some Great TV// Stanley Cooper Jupiter Florida [email protected]

DVD box came in great shape

Compré esta temporada para completar la colección, ya que solo me faltaba esta para tenerlas todas en BluRay. Por el contenido no puedo opinar , ya que no la he visto aún, pero las mejores temporadas fueron la 1 y 2, después la serie fué bajando su calidad. El servicio de amazon muy bien como siempre, solo que deberían enviar mejor protegidos los paquetes porque se pueden maltratar al llegar solo en un sobre burbuja por venir desde USA. Afortunadamente la edición llegó bien y si incluye su SlipCover.

Ⅰ～Ⅳ全部、見ました。超能力、あこがれみたいなものがあるせいか、好きなんだよね。
