The thing that's really bothering me is how fickle the characters have become. The most recent example is Ali Larter's [latest] character. One day she's: "Oh my gosh I killed someone and I feel so guilty and I want someone to take away my powers more than anything." Then within the course of a few hours, she's all the sudden remorseless power hungry bitch who's "come to terms" with her powers. It makes it hard to identify with or put any stock in any one character b/c they could change completely at any time.

^ I guess I enjoy that "guessing" aspect of it. Human frailty, I think we all know and have people in our lives that can change their feelings, thoughts, and beliefs over night!

But I do understand your complaint.

^^ i dont think its much of a change. at first she was freaked and didnt want it. once she came to grips with it, she went back to being a manipulative political bitch.

11/19/2008 5:48:00 PM

The writing (acting?) on this show is so horrid... so many cringe worthy moments, especially in this past episode.

11/20/2008 12:34:31 PM

i stopped watching, I can't take it anymore

11/20/2008 12:59:58 PM

Best episode of the season so far. I'm actually looking forward to next week.

11/24/2008 10:17:22 PM

it was okay. can't wait to see how it turns out

11/24/2008 10:19:43 PM

ok so what happened after claire started bleeding out? for some reason my dvr cut off

11/24/2008 10:29:14 PM

^ ditto!

11/24/2008 10:33:19 PM

basically the show ended with HRG pointing a sniper rifle at Sylar & Elle as they were making out. also, dont know if this was after claire started bleeding, but parkman sees daphne as "her former life" which was basically a cripple with leg braces and crutches.

if claire dies, I'll be done supporting heroes...

but I'll still watch it

11/25/2008 8:46:49 AM

^She won't be dead for long. I'm sure that if she dies, Arthur will give her some of his magic blood or Peter will get his powers back and give her some blood. Nobody stays dead in this show.

11/25/2008 9:18:11 AM

what about DL

Good ep, hope Hiro grows up soon.

11/25/2008 11:21:56 AM

the graphic showing the moon/sun before the eclipse was completely inaccurate. you would not see half of the moon being lit by the sun like they showed.
the moon is ALWAYS a 'new moon' (none of the light side pointed towards the earth) during a solar eclipse.
(the moon is always full during a lunar eclipse.)

yeah, that's the unrealistic part of the show

11/26/2008 2:49:35 PM

Still no inkling of an explanation as to why a solar eclipse would have an effect on genetic mutations that give powers? Seriously, they need to stop just pulling things out of their asses and expecting us to just roll with it.

11/26/2008 4:47:27 PM

Heroes is becoming too much like Lost.

In fairness, it is a two-part episode. And obviously a driving force behind the rest of the season. They'll have to explain it sooner or later, and I'll wager sooner, because I doubt the season finale is going to involve a bunch of people without powers slapping each other across the face.

well obviously something happens, as the ominous voice on the commercial asked "what happens when the eclipse is over???"

11/28/2008 10:18:27 AM

one of the blondes IS leaving the show...they haven't said who of course. claire being set up for death certainly does lean to it possibly being her. elle is also set up for it though with Bennett and his sniper.
and another "fan favorite" is leaving...my bets are on Hiro.

11/28/2008 10:38:39 AM

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

11/28/2008 1:31:51 PM

I hope it's fucking Nikki/Jessica/Tracy/slutbag

11/28/2008 3:56:00 PM

Bennett is the only reason to watch the show, he kicks more ass than anyone and doesn't have any powers... go figure.

11/28/2008 4:59:29 PM

my money is on elle, but only because she is billed as a SPECIAL GUEST STAR, and isn't a cast member.

11/29/2008 12:35:35 AM

^Elle is the easy money for which blonde is leaving the show. She's a guest star, and I remember reading before the start of the season that she had only signed on for three more episodes. Which, of course, turned out not to be accurate -- she's been in more than three -- but it reinforces the idea that they planned for her to depart this season.

Plus, Bennett is pointing a fucking sniper rifle at her head, and something has to happen to make Sylar go balls-out evil again.

Quote :

"and another "fan favorite" is leaving...my bets are on Hiro."

If it's Hiro, the show will collapse. Hell, even if it's Ando, it will suffer greatly -- the Hiro/Ando relationship is at the very heart of the show, which is part of the reason why Hiro's character fell so flat when he was in the past.

I'm hoping that they're using the term "fan favorite" loosely, and the person leaving will be someone shitty. Ali Larter would be ideal. I could settle for Nathan or Peter. Also wouldn't be too heartbroken to see Claire leave, except insofar as it might reduce the role of Bennett.

Let's face facts here. The characters that have made this show worth watching are:

Noah Bennett
Sylar (when he's not acting like doctor phil)
Parkman
Hiro/Ando

11/29/2008 12:47:25 PM

You have the right characters, but wrong order.


I do hope they explain somehow why the eclipse is significant, but I'd like it to be a vague explanation, as any one probably won't make much sense.

11/29/2008 4:03:34 PM

Parkman is a whiny bitch and he definitely does not make the show any easier to watch.

11/30/2008 8:37:50 AM

we quit watching this show about 4-5 episodes ago because the direction the show was taking got pretty homo

the episodes are all sitting on our DVR, would it be worthwhile for us to watch the shows and catch up, or is the show a lost cause and you wish you had the hour of your life back every week after watching the show?

please advise

11/30/2008 9:46:35 AM

I don't agree with where the series is going, but it's been worth it to watch every episode

I'm just curious where they are going at this point

11/30/2008 10:42:10 AM

^^ I have never regretted watching an episode of Heroes. There is hardly anything else more important to do at 9 pm on a Monday night.

11/30/2008 11:33:52 AM

The last 4-5 episodes have been pretty ridiculous, and the dialogue has gone largely to shit. I'm getting to the point where I need some kind of explanation for some things that makes sense and gives me an "ohhhhhh... gotcha" kind of moment, or else I might be done. I still care about some of the characters and want to know what happens to them, but I'm realizing that most of my stockpile of Care was built up from the first season and a half.

11/30/2008 1:47:01 PM

people still watch this?

can anyone sum up what has happened this season, i stopped watching after syler turned good, couldnt take anymore

11/30/2008 11:45:43 PM

i'm really curious to know what else is so wonderful in everyone's lives at 9pm on mondays. yall are going on like its complete agony, when there's really not much else on

12/1/2008 12:04:21 AM

^you could read a book whenever you like...

12/1/2008 12:06:05 AM

12/1/2008 12:09:47 AM

i'd rather bang my head against a wall than watch anymore episodes, and i was a hardcore fan season 1
but still im curious as to where this thing is going

12/1/2008 12:22:52 AM

Longest eclipse ever.

I would like to see this. Please set up a webcam for tonight, and allow me to see you actually bang your head against a wall for an hour while I am watching heroes

let's see who's head hurts the most after an hour

12/1/2008 8:10:42 AM

I'm still watching the show, but it's starting to really lose me. It sucks, b/c the concept had such promise. I'll most likely continue to watch, but just due to a lack of options.

Wouldn't it be so much cooler if the "Heroes" did something... I dunno... heroic? Like fight crime or prevent disasters, etc.? Superman, Batman, Spiderman, those were heroes. This has turned into just a bunch of whiny bitches betraying and clusterfucking each other over and over. It's like a soap opera with super powers... and random time travel.

12/1/2008 11:17:38 AM

^ they've tried that the past two seasons, and I don't like it either

I think they should go to a episode by episode basis instead of some huge event that it takes all season to resolve...they keep losing the focus and have to quickly wrap everything up

This whole "everyone loses their power" could have been done as a 2-part, or at most a 3-part episode, and then continue on with other problems

I'd be fine with them all dying, and a fresh cast starting up next season. I've grown to despise almost every one of these people now

12/1/2008 12:09:33 PM

^wow that sounds like a fun show, with characters and plots you despise
sounds almost as fun as banging my head against a wall

My thoughts EXACTLY.

12/1/2008 4:48:33 PM

i guess no one watched tonight since banging your head against a wall is en vogue now. my dvr cut off AGAIN, so i have no idea what happened after claire and hiro appeared in the past

12/1/2008 10:22:35 PM

that was the end pretty much. claire said holy shit

then TOBECONTINUED

12/1/2008 10:38:55 PM
