Why do people keep says Heroes sucked after the first season. I like it to the end. I will admit that the second part of season three and all but the last few episodes of season 4 weren't great but they were still entertaining and much better than 99% of the other shows on. So season 3 and 4 had their problems but what about season 2. Season 2 was excellent. Its to bad it was only 11 episodes because of the strike but it was 11 good episodes. Peter kicked ass in season 2. The start of the decline of Heroes can be pinpointed to the moment Peter lost his powers. That was the single worst moment of the entire show. What the hell were they thinking?
@Limeparrot - Nailed it. The finale of S1 was terribleThe other travesity was not only did they keep bringing sylar back (why, because he didn't seem like that great of a villian) but that they kept retconning him. They did it like 3 times. Remember in the first season, he was a psychopath. Remember when they found his room with all that writing on the walls.Then later on, they have him as an agent working with Kristen Bell. WTF? I swear, at the writers table, they must have a bunch of geeks that say s**t like "you know what would be cool for next week's episode!"There was never and forthought or planning. Krang himself admitted in season 2 that the series was broken. They never did fix it.
I read flashforward years ago, and was interested in the show. However the show and the book are quite different, except for the premise. However the show started off well, but then began to get dull. It became a lame show about people continually investigating the same thing, and not much going on. After the Hiatus was over, I planned on watching it again, and I never did. After a couple missed episodes, I just didn't care any more. I spoke to a co-worker who was in the same boat. It just didn't grab my attention. I kept wondering "they have this set day when the flash forward was to happen, well what's going to happen when they meet that mark"I'm not upset to see flashforward go. I tried to watch Madmen, after about 30 minutes into the first episode. I turned it off, boring as hell. I was so uninterested, I couldn't bear it anymore.'V' is proving to be interesting, they've been renewed for a 2nd season. It has it's problems too, but is pretty good so far.
Actually, it is my understanding from people actually at the top of the show that it was Tim Kring who decided to undo and break the successful Heroes formula during season one. I thought it was studio interference, but I've been told that it's Tim's fault 100% that Heroes turned into s**te from the Season 1 finale on...
Yes she did, thats why I made the comment. She was a cheerleader in that, and it was pretty much how she got this role. She's typecast and she doesn't even realise it.

Good god. People watched Prison Break in it's entirety? That made my day sad.
