    BTW, it's not Nathan's hair that's out of control, it's Peter's. Peter's always had emo hair. Nathan's got a manly buzz cut now -- so little hair it can't do anything.


    Also, they need to frakkin kill Larter off for good. No more clone bimbos, each stupider, less interesting, and worse acted than the last. Let. Her. Go. I don't care who she's blowing or blackmailing, all her scenes drag the show to a complete halt. They can kill off 2 or 3 male characters for balance, but get rid of her.

    Sheesh, guys, would you all stop trying to rip Graeme a new one? He was merely pointing out that there will be changes to the third season. Besides, only presenting one-sided arguments would make for a very boring io9 and wouldn't tell us anything we didn't already know. Really, would you rather this post have been titled, "In case you hadn't noticed, 'Heroes' has kicked the bucket"?


    Now sit back and play nice, or I will curse you all with Sylar's mommy issues.

    @FangirlD: It's even sillier after you read the hateful comments about Annalee's high-larious if snide recaps of Heroes. The show is getting better, making it merely really bad rather than abysmally terrible.


    I'd rather see NBC cancel this series in favor of something new, but that would probably be a reboot of Manimal.

    We love you, Masi - why can't you hook up with Daphne instead of Parkman?


    I didn't realize until now that Hiro and Parkman were doing the hot-n-heavy man-love boom-boom-boom together. Gosh, no WONDER Hiro blinks so ferociously all the time - that scalawag little flirt!

    In reply to Masi Oka Admits Hiro's Powers Aren't That Exciting
    One problem with that show is that his powers ARE EXCITING. He's effectively a god. They just treat them like parlor tricks and spend half their time trying to prove that he can't change timelines and the other half sending people into the future so they can go back and change it. If Hiro were to ditch Ando and become a lone Hero he could run around doing whatever he wanted and shaping the world how he could see it. But no, its more fun having the guy get bonked on the head by Noble Black Men.

    @Grrsn Dn: Hiro learnt that messing with the past is dangerious.

    Its perfectly reasonable he dosnt want to jump back again.


    He could pause time more though. But then, as Speedygirl shows, he is just really really slowing it down. (or speeding himself up).

    @twDarkflame: If messing with the past is dangerous then why has every season been about messing with the present (or the future's past). NY get's destroyed in the future, change the present to avoid that... Plague destroys the future, change the present to avoid that... Super-powered people destroys the future, change the present to avoid that. The whole show is based around messing with timelines so to tell the one guy who can actually do it well that he shouldn't is a bit silly.

    They need to call the show "The Petrellis" and just wipe everyone else out, because seriously, everyone who's amazing and compelling in the show is a Petrelli. Everyone else just sucks. Except for Parkman, who's doing a pretty good job with a pretty crappy storyline.

    But then again I watch this, so I guess it' s a wash for the network.
