This is a great article analyzing what killed the series Heroes. I largely agree with the points made. I don't agree that Peter, Sylar, or Hiro were too powerful. I also think Clare and Noah's father/daughter relationship we way too much like a yoyo. I also think Clare kept making silly mistakes from not listening to what adults were telling her.
NBC sources now tell me that the network is “working on a way to wrap up the show. That will be determined after the upfront.” Other insiders explain to me that NBC will soon commit to that 2-hour or 4-hour special event in midseason to reward Heroes fans.
I've got mixed feelings. When the show started I really liked it, but then it lost its way.
Here is a great analysis on where the the show Heroes is and where it should go from here.In my opinion the show still has some life yet...if they give Peter Petrelli back his full power and turn Sylar back to psychopath!
Well Season 4 is over and Sylar is a good guy???! I admit I did not see that coming. I liked the fight between Samuel and Peter. It was cool. I felt bad that Hiro and Charlie can't be together. And I thought that was really a bad start for Season 5; volume 6. I mean why can't Claire listen to her father. See what I mean below.
I watched "The Wall" last night and I think it's my favorite episode this Season! I saw three story lines and I can't wait to see them come together in the season finale.
1. I was shocked to see that Noah had a wife and an unborn child killed by a "special". No wonder he behaves as he does. And his wife was black?!!
2. The only thing that was keeping Sylar and Peter trapped was that they did not forgive Sylar - kind of metaphysical.
3. I wanna see how Claire is going to get Noah and her father out of that hole.
4. I'm glad to see that Claire could forgive and understand Noah.
5. What? Is Sylar good again?
6. If Peter can pick and choose the abilities her takes, why doesn't he just take Sylar's ability to copy other people's powers and then get back to full strength?
I'm a fan of Heroes and I saw this great article pointing out that the how has lost its ratings big time. I'd argue that the show lost its way. I think depowering Peter, Killing Nathan, Killing Adam Monroe, changing Claire's sexual preference, and leaving plot threads dangling (anyone else want to kn ow what happened to the Irish girl whom Peter loved so much and stranded 1 year in the future back in season 2? I do) were all missteps. I don't like character personality changing and you never know who they are what they want. I wonder if Claire and Peter and Sylar are bipolar or something. Noah Bennnet seems to be the most consistent character in the series. I know Heroes can work. They should let people who write comics keep writing it and stop trying to make it into a teen drama like "One Tree Hill" or something.
Well, this week's Heroes had some good points and some bad points. First the good.
1. Samuel having his main rival for leadership assassinated and himself almost killed while making Noah Bennet the scapegoat was clever and very good impersonation of Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars
2. Matt Parkman defeating Sylar - Priceless.
Now the bad.
1. Since Sylar can absorb the powers of others without killing them, why didn't he just copy Matt's powers and supress his own powers?
2. Claire hasn't seemed to learn anything the past 4 years.
3. Peter still doesn't have his full powers back.
4. I think making Claire fall in love with her room mate is inconsistent with the rest of her character. I mean all of a sudden, she likes girls?
5. I think Peter should take Sylar's powers instead of freeing him from that Prison Matt put him in.
6. Matt's wife was way too calm fo the situations her family was in...not too believable.
The show is salvageable. Personally, bringing Peter back to full power and having him really fight Sylar would make me happy.
Yes, I did see this week's Heroes episode. I was disappointed. I mean why would Claire become a lesbian all of a sudden. It seems to come out of no where. Kind of like Willow in the Buffy television series. Also, I don't see how Sylar having abilities is forcing him to kill people. I mean he should just stop. I also was not surprised to see Samuel go off the deep end when Vanessa rejected him. Big surprise. The only thing I liked was Hiro's subplot facing his greatest enemy and coming to terms with decisions in his life. Seeing his mother again was cool - unexplained but I'll go with it and also the resolution of Hiro's tumor. I think Heroes may have "jumped the shark" . The one thing that can bring it back for me is if Peter gets all of his powers back. He should take them from Sylar. I'm going to continue giving the show a chance in the meantime.
I saw Heroes last night and I liked it. I thought that it was good. I'm glad Hiro is back in his right mind. I'm hoping that Peter comes up to full power soon. I liked the episode. I liked how the story is building. I want to know what's coming next and how they would all meet up and the story plays out. i just hope now more of the regular class dies.
Last night, NBC aired 2hours of Heroes back-to-back
Episode 12: "Upon This Rock"
The first part was about Claire finding out that Samuel is not who she thought. But
I think she is tell leaning towards his vision but she does not entirely trust her. We finally pioked up with Hiro back in Japan. Good thing he had Ando to help him. He pieced together that at the carnival Hiro's mind was scrambled to keep him from stopping Samuel. but we still don't really know what Hiro is trying to do yet.
Episode 13: "Let It bleed"
Out of the two, the second part is my favorite one. We get to see many of the main characters come to grips with Nathan's death. I'm just glad they didn't all just get over it. Claire and Peter are also coming to grips wit the fact that Noah and Angela lied to them. Peter really was taking it hard. I aslo liked how we get to see how real ruthless and cunning Noah truly is. In many ways he is more dangerous than Sylar. Speaking of Sylar, he seems different. Could a lot of Nathan still be in him? Is that why he doesn't like killing anymore? A lot of questions. I sure wish, Peter would get back to gfulll power and can hold multiple powers at once again...or tone Sylar down.
I really thought that Claire had matured to the point that she could tell when she is getting played, but the most frustrating things about the latest episode of Heroes was that she could not see Samuel for who he is - evil. The other thing that was done well, but i wish the show had taken a different direction was killing Nathan. I really like Nathan and I think it was a mistake to put him in Sylar's body and kill him. The thing that I liked most about the story was Peter kicking Sylar's behind. He was using the Haitian's power in ways i have never seen. I mean I did not know he could turn his power off and on. And Peter seemed to control what power was suppressed and what wasn't. I still think Peter should get back tyo the same lever of powers he had in seasons 1 and 2. Oh. And where did Hiro go!
Here is a great interview. Adrian Pasdar, who plays Nathan Petrelli, interviews on his work on Heroes. I love this guy. He is a great actor...one of the best on the show. I don't really like the way they are writing him out of the show, but he played it with class.
It was a great episode last night. It seems like my fears of Heroes "jumping the shark" were premature. I really liked this issue. The idea of showing Thanksgiving being celebrated by 3 groups simultaneously was cool. Also allowing so many cliff hangers really makes me want to see the next episode. I mean what will happen when Claire makes it to the carnival? What happens when Peter catches Sylar? I've heard that the actor playing Nathan has been let go, so I don't think Nathan can be saved. And i want to know what Samuel's master plan is and what happened to Hiro? There were two big reveals in this show that I was wondering about.
1. Did Peter and Claire know that Nathan was dead? No they didn't.
2. What really happened to Samuel's brother? They showed that Samuel, enraged, killed him with a rock. Made me think of Cain and Able.
3. It seems that Matt Parkman was able to rip Nathan's soul out of his body and put it into Sylar - not just Nathan's memories but his desires and ethics.
I'm wondering what will happen now that so many people at the carnival have now seen Samuel's true face. And I admit now that Peter is going against Sylar, I really wish Peter was back to full power.
The latest episode of Heroes was great. I thought that they made a lot of great twists to the stories. At first I thought Suresh was gonna stay dead but I'm glad he wasn't. Now we finally know why Samuel wants to bring as many specials around him as possible. There are still unanswered questions...lots of them. At least, Matt got Sylar out of his head...only there was no clear statement about where Sylar ended up. I really liked Hiro in this episode too. He showed a great deal of compassion. He doesn't want to do evil things, yet he still is willing to do extreme things to protect Charlie. Next week looks like it will be even better.
I really enjoyed this episode! The party I enjoyed most was the Sylar - Parkman interaction. They kept one-upping each other - raising the stakes. The question became how far would Matt go to stop Sylar? I want to know what Samuel did with Hiro after last weeks episode. I am tired of Claire going back to mistrusting her dad. i mean she's like a yoyo. Pick an opinion, girl, and stick to it. Another thing is I think Heroes is treating things as it Sylar's mind latched on to Parkman and Natha's is in Sylar's body. The question here is a person summed up and completely described by their memories? i don't think so. The human soul is more than the sum of his/her memories. I thought that (at the end of season 3) it was Sylar who thought that he was Nathan, yet he was still Sylar. I would have made where all Sylar could do when he was Nathan is fly. For that matter, how can Sylar fly? I don't remember him ever absorbing Nathan's power. Also, I would really like to see Peter back to full power.
I saw the latest episode of "Heroes" and It was good. I liked how Hiro figured out how to preserve the timeline and save Charlie at the same time. I was worried there where it looked like he was willing to sell out Claire, Peter, and New York City for one life. I was wondering that if Hiro had changed so many events, would his own memories stay consistent? That may be what is causing Hiro's tumor. We also know why the carnival guy wants Hiro. He wants to use Hiro to change the past. In what way? we don't know yet. But I wanna find out. I was amazed to see Bennet three years earlier interacting with a woman he almost had an affair with that was no where in season 1. That was interesting and allowed us to see more of who Bennet is.
"Strange Attractors" was an interesting episode. I'm not sure where things are going, but I enjoyed it. I liked the character Jeremy, but I think he just gave up and was beyond redemption (yes, pun intended..) Noah and Tracy should not blame themselves but they will. I hope the writers just don't leave that dangling. It's also obvious that this will lead to Tracy joining the Carnival. And I wanna know why Matt can't beat Sylar with his own powers. I mean he beat his Dad. The other power Sylar has is that he can read people and manipulate them.
I liked "Tabula Rosa". It's hard to tell where the series is going. I liked the relationship Hiro was able to build with the new deaf character. I'm getting a little tire of Sylar boing back and forth between evil and good. I don't really understand why the circus wants the old Sylar back. I mean' I'm sure he'll kill them all and take their powers. I aslo wish that they would re-power Peter so that he can use all the abilities he as absorbed whenever he wants. Then i would like to see a full-on fight that has never actually taken place yet. Watching this episode reminded me of some plot threads that just remained hanging. For example what about Caitlin in Season 2...I mean she was stuck 2008, when it was 2007, now its 2009. What happened to her? And Micah and his cousins? I wish they would bring them back.
I've never not liked an episode of Heroes, I'm left wondering if the show has "jumped the shark"? I ask because of the girl-on-girl kiss in this episode. It seemed like it was there for shock value and there also seemed to be just left hanging there while Claire did not respond. I mean your roommate just kissed you and confessed to have a crush...what do you do? I also finally had my question answered as to if Peter is back to full power...no. However, I am interested to see what the carnival has in store. I never imagined that they were responsible for every weird thing Claire has experienced this season. I want to know what will happen now that they have Sylar. I think either they are going to kill Sylar or he will kill them.
"Acceptance" was a great episode. It had a lot of twist and turns. The thing is that things have changed really greatly. "Acceptance" was definitely the theme of the episode.
1. HRG accepting that He has to move on and keep searching the case he was looking into when he was hurt in last week's episode.
2. Tracy accepted that she was unable to just waltz back into her old life.
3. Hiro accepted that he is going to die and told his sister the truth.
4. Nathan was unable accept that his mother had covered up the accidental death of his old girlfriend felt guilty
5. The girls mother had Nathan "killed" while she had dinner with Angela! I was shocked
6. Adding to suspense, we know that Nathan can't die because He's Sylar. So when the hitman buries Nathan, who rises out of the grave...Sylar. Of course, according to the promo for next week's episode, Sylar still thinks he's Nathan although he no longer looks like Sylar.
