Please kill off the majority of the case within the next two seasons. How great would that be? Maybe only keeping HRG and Peter's mother?

Think final season of Angel. No One was around from Season1 except Angel. It took the final season to get rid of the last original Buffyverse character... and now the show is legendary.

Have some balls and start cutting the cast. Hollywood is full of pretty people, just borrow some people from the CW to round out the beauty for mass market appeal.

Just end it. Seriously. Season one, though flawed, told a contained story, with a beginning, middle and end. The main characters' arcs all, for the most part, reached their conclusions. There was nowhere else to go, and yet they kept on going, and going, and going. Hiro had another destiny to fulfill, and then another, and another. Sylar returned, was retconned, un-retconned and retconned again. Nathan found redemption again, then betrayed everyone, then found redemption again. Noah found two or three more ways to shift his loyaties while remaining true to his daughter. Claire kept on pouting.

The show is atrocious and should not be saved.

Kill the cheerleader, kill the show, find some other pilot to greenlight and be done with it.

Wow, Sarah, this is an excellent article. Couldn't agree with you more about Larter and the cheerleader.

Hire Michael Bay for the season finales

wah wah wah. all you cry babies complaining about this show should go jump in a lake. what other show has superpowers like this? who cares how bad the stupid plots are? theres a girl who can regenerate! people who can fly! read minds! teleport! turn objects to liquid! hear far off butterfly wings beating! turn invisible! and more!

what other show has that huh? bitch moan complain. is that all fanboys really do? so what if Sylar has parent issues HE CUTS OFF THE TOPS OF PEOPLES HEADS AND PLAYS AROUND WITH THEIR BRAINS! i think the stories sucked too and they rip off way too much from the comics and say they don't but WTF! what else are you gonna watch? Wipeout? I'm a Celebrity? Gray's Anatomy? come on.

There are these things called "books". I think that would take care of that massive one hour of emptiness in my life.

Ok maybe it is just me but last nights Heroes was good. By good I mean it didn't make me groan (well except for the scene where it looked like Mama P was seducing the Hunter that made me cringe though) It's almost like they said "Fuller coming back let's write something he won't yell at us for." I actually liked last nights show and have hope for Heroes making a comeback. Here's to hoping next week I'm not disappointed.

I was lukewarm about the episode until its last moments. Then I had a weird feeling...it was a feeling of intrigue. I actually wanted to know what would happen next week on Heroes! And I gave a fuck about Nathan.

...strange times.

Heroes is the Image Comics of modern TV.

It was big bright and shiny. It was different, yet the same. It sucked in talent from other areas fooling them into thinking they'd make a difference. We are always suckered into buying the first ish, but then we keep getting it way after it disappoints.

I have a thought for redemption "Punisher Invades the Heroes Universe."

He could kill off the characters which I don't care about anymore, and at this point...that would be all of them. Well maybe I'd keep the AndoCycle.....the AndoCycle....the AndoCycle....seriously.

@MultipleMe: They would have me for 5 seasons more, without question, if they had Ray Stevenson (or Ray Stevens for that matter) punch a hole in Peter Petrelli's face and then drop Suresh off the top of a building on to a spiky fence.

Whyyyyyy do people still insist on using HRG as his name?? It doesnt make him seem more intimidating... It's just retarded thats all...

and as for this season, its a huge step up from last season... I love it...

@Robotic Bilbo Bagins has no use for fleshy ones: Easier than "Noah"?

I never liked "HRG", but when it was all we had that was okay. It *really* bothered me when they used the voice over guy to sum things up from before and he'd say H-R-G.

@Robotic Bilbo Bagins has no use for fleshy ones: HRG or Noah. Well, if you don't count holding down the shift key, it is easier to type. But if you do, then Noah is far easier as it doesn't require either constantly holding down the shift or putting then taking off caps lock.

I refer to him as "HRG" but having the announcer name him that was full of FAIL.

I'm loving the current season a heck of a lot.

Aside from Syler flashbacks and cringe-worthy underwater kissing its been pretty good so far.

They got the pacing perfect now...not too slow or fast like before.

People whining now are mostly whining because they like to whine. Heroes is still easily one of the best shows on TV.
