Heroes Season 4 hits streets August 3rd 2010

Huge fan of the series, as I'm sure many of you are. I enjoyed the fourth (and final!) season of Heroes, and the box set of the season is available on August the 3rd 2010. There's lots of behind-the-scenes stuff with the actors and directors, and a bunch of other extras.

I'm personally really excited! Heroes fanatics comment away!

That is quite an assumption you have there....I'm pretty sure the general consensus is that the show kind of fell apart and never recovered after the first season....

Started off great and then turned into the television version of Chinese water torture.

I believe you mean the television equivalent of Chinese water torture.

Televised Chinese water torture, on the hand, would be much more satisfying to the viewer than Heroes ever was.

Does the OP work for Universal Home Video?

The only way I pick up season 4 is if drops below $15, which I'm sure it will within the next 6 months.

Re: Heroes Season 4 hits streets August 3rd 2010

My wife & I started watching this show from Season 1, noticed very quickly that very little actually happened in each episode but stuck with it through Season 1. When Season 2 started we felt as if we'd missed something important, the story just jumped (apparently) into the middle of another plotline. We tried watching Season 2, actually made it into the season a few episodes when we started losing interest altogether. That had to be the biggest nothing's happening show we'd ever seen. There were too many storylines going on in each episode, and very little would actually happen in each of those storylines, not to mention each time it appeared as if something was going to happen, it would jump to a long commercial break, in which time we would forget where we were, but it wouldn't matter anyway because they would start (from the commercial break) somewhere else entirely. I'd rather watch paint drying. -kd5-

What kind of Chinese water torture is performed on the hand?

As for Heroes S4, count me in the group that loved season 1, and thought Season 2 was tolerable for the most part. But seasons 3 and 4 were downright awful.

I might wait for this to drop in the $20 price range.

I still haven't opened the Season 3 set I bought a couple months ago.

Seasons of Heroes will have to drop down into the $10 (or less) price range before I would even consider buying. -kd5-

This has gotten heavy promotion on the internet for a show nobody watched.

I will buy it to complete my Heroes collection. Still hope NBC airs a movie or mini-series to wrap up the series in the future.

If anyone is curious about season 4, this line from Adam's review 'bout sums it up:

Somewhere around this time, I ran a warm bath and contemplated opening a couple of veins.


It actually makes what Darlton pulled off on Lost seem like Shakespeare.

Also, I forgot that Samuel goes back in time to blackmail Hiro into going back in time and retrieving a canister of film.

That's kind of like me driving to Domino's, asking the guy at the counter to deliver a pizza to my house, and then driving back home emptyhanded.

NBC was originally thiknking of making a series finale/mini-series of the show but those plans have since fallen through. Remember, this is NBC we're talking about who have had a history of not completing good quality shows in the past and leaving them as "To Be Continued"...Las Vegas was a perfect example of this.

Considering just how little actually happens during a full season of this show, exactly how much could possibly be resolved in a mini-series? The definition of insanity is coming to mind.

Are you saying Heroes fits into the "good quality show" category?

Given how shitty their whole schedule was last season it's best they put it behind them. That includes dropping a show that gets nothing but ridicule and scorn anymore. It's best to put it out of its misery.
