Heroes Thread

Once upon the time, there was a television show called Heroes.
Season one introduced us to the characters as they came to terms with their powers, and followed the struggle between good and evil. And it was good.
Season two was a letdown, as action gave way to romance, and one particular storyline went on way too long, despite the fact the season was cut short due to the writers’ strike. But there was still hope of redemption with season three.
Yeah, about season three.
The plot is a mess, and the characters are acting completely against type. It is as if the writers have decided that nothing is more fun than insulting our intelligence.
Your thoughts?

i agree!!1!1!one!!!! they screwed it up when they decided to do stuff about the future and showing stuff in the future
B"H I only saw the first season and the first four eps. of Season Two, cuz someone flaked on getting me episodes. What's the special ability of Peter's mom? I never found out.
I wonder if when filming the shark episode, any of the Happy Days cast realized just how stupid it was.
Enh, I still think it's cool. There's enough plot twists and weirdness (like the Petrellis and the death of a certain major character's death) to keep me interested.
Spot on. Where do I begin with the inconsistencies ? Unless of course there is a plot twist later on to explain all the unusual behaviour, here are some glaring problems (spoiler alert if you havent seen episode 4 yet). * "Future Peter" is happy to murder his brother * "Future Sylar" is living a peaceful domestic life with a son. * "Future Claire" is happy to kill Future Peter. * "Future Ando" kills Hiro * Then Hiro actually kills Ando with his sword. * Suresh is out of his freakin mind. * Peter is going nuts too and nearly killed his mother.
Ah, the more current shows I watch, the more I'm drawn to old DVDs.
If I'm not mistaken and I was able to understand anything amidst the convoluted mess, she can see the future. I wonder if she can see the show being axed.
I am only up to ep 3 season 3 but already the first episode was a mess…
