At the end of Season One our heroes were able – seemingly –to save the world from an apocalypse; but they weren’t able to save it from theHollywood writers’ strike. The severely truncated Season 2 runs to half thelength of the first. Beginning with the aftermath of the last episode’sclimactic events of Season 1, new characters are introduced, entangling theiroffshoots around the already existing twists and turns that embrace the mainstory arc. Given what happens, it could just as readily be entitled Resurrections as Heroes.When the initial episodes of Season 2 aired there were complaints of slowpacing and confusing new story threads.
