oh, I think Sylar is the bit where everyone loves and hates. I mean he kills his mother, girlfriend(I don't have to spoilerize cuz I never said who the girl was :P), everyone he knows. Plus, its wierd how much of a b**ch Claire is.....I mean she complains when she can feel pain and then when she loses feelings. |

The thing about Heroes is this...It's good when viewed thru the lens as a straight suspense-filled comicbook, but bad when viewed thru the lens as a realistic comic book...There are so many unspeakably bad plot-holes and contrivances, but somehow I still find myself enjoying it...It's kinda like how I would enjoy an ep of Code Geass, because the actors were good or some scenes were really freakin' cool...Heroes has alot of actors that I like (Peter, Sylar, Parkman, The Haitian, Horned-rim glasses guy, The Professor, etc. all have perfect actors for the characters)...Oddly enuff not many great women characters, but they are all hawt to look at (Maya for teh win!!)..The cheerleader is pretty much an overkilled character at this point (Basically she's just the all-American blonde hawtty and that's it) and I hate how they killed Micah's whole arc and turned his Mom into a 3rd twin played by the same chick (and her story arc is wak too)...But with Heroes you gotta take the good with the bad, and the good to me is provided by the actors for certain characters and the simple dramatic and suspenseful moments that when they work, they really work (Like when the painter got his head chopped off by Peter's dad )...All in all when you use the power of suspending belief it's easy to enjoy at times...Obviously it has lots of problems if you don't suspend belief (Sylar's constant changing of sides, Claires' mind-boggling lack of growth, Hiro's ability to clean-up any $hitty plotline with his time power), but overall it's still a fun, action, comicbook that does engage the mind as well as the eyes..
But those who think it's as good as LOST, need ...Maybe season 1, but that's it...The story just isn't woven together with any sort of consistency that's even close to LOST's story...That doesn't make it trash, but it's just not that strong from a story-structure perspective...Meh, I like Supernatural even more than Heroes (I'm actually lying I friken love Supernatural), but the promise that the story can get better is another reason to watch aswell...I just hope it's incredible twists will one day be met with a consistent story just as incredible (I still think it has a chance to do that)...

OMG!!! I'm shocked.J/K I'm not a hardcore Heroes fan,but the show really make me interested to watch it. I'm glad they do something different with the storyline & the characters.People can easily get attached to the show & to me it's more realistic than X-Men.
I admit,I'm a Hiro Nakamura fan.

I have to say I really liked the new episode. I liked the earlier episodes of the season but I feel this episode has set the story up to take some really interesting twists and turns. Though I liked volumes 2 and 3, they just weren't up to the quality of volume 1. I think they have a chance to bring the show back to greatness depending on what directions they take this new season in.

I would rather poke my eyes out with a fork than watch one more f*cking episode of Heroes. The character writing is probably the worst I've seen in years of bad tv shows. Everyone changes their personality from one episode to the next. In one episode, the evil bitch will be evil, and in the next, she'll be a reformed saint, and then suddenly evil in the next one. Motivations are just so. . .temporary. . .it's like the characters have no real souls.
It's obvious to me that the writers sit and listen to the internet after every episode and then they'll change their writing according to what the fans liked. That's a soul-less way to write a story. |

There were a lot of points I agree with.
aohige's summary of Heroes' plot is pretty accurate. Also, I'm fairly tired of good-guy vs. bad-guy stories. It's too elementary. There's no mystery or suspense. Yes, there can be plot twists, but that's not the same thing. In addition, real life doesn't work that way. Rarely, if ever, can people's biggest obstacles and problems be unified in a single entity. It's just doesn't make a believable or interesting plot. Examples contrary are: Lost, Journeyman, xxxHolic. All of which I like much more than Heroes. ezara's point about characters switching personalities is also true, and very annoying. The first season didn't have this issue, and that was the only season I liked overall. The rest is largely just a confusing muddle. Finally, reincarnation is a huge no-no in my book. I don't understand why directors or writers can be so incredibly stupid to include reincarnation. First, it's a cheap re-start tool. "Oh, we already shot an inconvenient scene in a previous episode, but now we changed our minds. So let's just reincarnate the guy!" Second, it completely destroys the dramatic effect of death. Someone died? Oh whatever who cares, they'll just be reincarnated later. As mortals, death is a powerful event that anyone can understand and relate to. To discard it simply because the storyline became inconvenient is just... unbelievably stupid. If played right, death can greatly enhance the overall story (FFVII anyone?). Heroes started out alright. But the writers producers w/e quickly showed that their skills aren't at the elite level quite yet. The ancient Japan arc was funny though. |

Yeah, funny and embarrassing. I had no idea one of the legends of Miyamoto Musashi 宮本 武蔵 was really a skinny British white boy

Last week's was a great start, I'm definitely liking the tone and it beats Villains for me anyday. Volume 3 just felt weak and the plot didn't really go anywhere. =\
