Well, I managed to get sunburnt visiting Ireland. Twice. On two separate trips.

Heroes. The first season wrapped up its story beautifully. The second season was an aimless disaster.

I’ve read online that the original plan was for each season to tell a stand-alone story with a different set of heroes but the network was insistent on keeping the popular characters from season one on for season two. Peter Petrelli’s power is universe-breaking after he learns to control it, so the show ended up tying itself into a pretzel to explain why the answer to every problem isn’t “get Peter to snap his fingers and fix it”. There was also a writer’s strike in the middle of the season, which didn’t help.
