Heroes season 1 is to 52 as season 2 is to Countdown. There are some good moments, don't get me wrong, it's not totally boring. It's just drawn out. I find myself not caring too much about the characters. They're just all over the place this season. This week's episode was the weakest. It just seems like the writers are making it up as they go along. Especially regarding Peter Petrelli. He was among my favorites of last season, now it's Matt.
