I do this with everything after Season 1. The writers should apologize to everyone who ever owned a televsion for the shit they spewed forth in Seasons 2-4.I pretend Season 3 doesn't exist, basically. That makes it more tolerable. lol
This bugged me a lot. When Peter was like NO IRISH GIRL I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEoh wait more plot bye lady. I think this was really where I started to tune out.I lost track of what was going on around the time the dude got separated from his girlfriend in a future timeline than just kind of forgot she existed.
My thoughts exactly.That's a mercy killing about 3 years too late. First season was mind blowingly awesome. Second season had its moments, but overall stunk. And it all went downhill from there.
RIP Heroes and good fucking riddance.
I stipped watching Chuck as soon as the intersect gave him kung fu powers.Are they stopping the comic as well? Or is that going to be the last vestiges of the show?
Still, maybe now they'll stop running Chuck up against House in an attempt to kill it. Put it on at 9 and it'll find the audience it deserves.

According to IGN, NBC is considering a 2-4 hour movie to wrap up the series.Yep, NBC gave them the axe http://www.ugo.com/tv/times-up-for-heroes
Wish we had just a bit more time...We don't learn Hiro's fate after being super-charged by Ando. Samuel's fate is discussed in a few lines of dialogue with HRG but what about the entire carnival of super powered people? Some resolution there would be nice.
And of course, the stuff with Sylar/Peter was starting to become awesome after Season 3's "Oh I'm bad, no wait I'm good, no on second thought I'm bad again" Sylar (which SUCKED cause he was awesome in S1 and S2).
And the big ordeal with Claire at the ending? Ok so she does that, but then what? We've several alternate timelines of the future, which one comes true based on what she does?
I really had hoped they'd give us a movie or two to just tie it up together. I mean yea, the ship itself sank in Season 3 before mid-season even happened but at least wrap it up enough for the fans who stuck through Seasons 3 and 4 (though again I believe Season 4 was slowly & surely making up for Season 3).
Oh well. I own s1 and s2 on dvd, i'll pick up s3 and s4 at some point, just to have the complete collection. Nothing will top those s1 episodes though.. "Company Man", "Five Years Gone", etc were some of the best written television I've ever seen.

In their defense some of the key members of the writing staff either left or changed jobs on the show, leaving the writing to a much less talented pack of idiots.They should have put this dog down mid-second season. At the time I thought that the problem was the writer's strike. In hindsight I now realize that after the first season's success the writers' heads got too big and they started throwing shit and calling it plot.
The show was only popular because people kept expecting it to become a super-hero type show, which was never the intent. Heroes premise was never going to make the audience that initially tuned in, and built the hype happy.This show could have been epic, but it was terrible. I watched every stinking episode. I kept hoping it would improve, but it just kept getting worse.
I never really liked Numb3rs. It's just your average cop show, only some guy shows up and spouts stuff vaguely related to math every so often.CBS is cutting several successful shows this Fall
"Cold Case," "Ghost Whisperer" "Numb3rs," "The New Adventures of Old Christine," "Gary Unmarried," "Miami Medical" and "Accidentally on Purpose."
I've seen a couple of episodes of Numb3rs. I enjoyed the show, but it was on Fridays when I had other things to do.
Just pointing out that the formula could be used to say a lot of things.I never really liked House. It's just your average cop show, only some guy shows up and spouts stuff vaguely related to Healthcare every so often.
Yeah, that's a better way of stating it than I did. There really wasn't anything that stood out about Numb3rs.There are lots of formula shows, the real issue isn't is it unique, it's are they doing anything interesting or entertaining. Most procedural cop shows (and related procedurals) do nothing for me. The wire kind of ruined me like that.
Or even years, but they are aware that it's television and not real life, right?My investigator friends really get pissed at cop shows. They solve cases in an hour that takes real detectives months.
Can't really talk about that, it's part of an ongoing investigation.[

I imagine it has to do with people's false expectations of the police force, etc.I never understood the whole "people in the field hating TV shows about what they do" I've worked in offices for years, but that doesn't make me hate the office because it's unrealistic.
That may be but it was too little too late. I watched the show through the whole second season, I watched the beginning of the third season which basically took everything that happened in the second season finale and chucked it out the window, I even tried to watch the fourth season primere and that was atrocious.My god, I'm siding with Mav. The last season was pretty good. Instead of introducing 2 dimensional characters and tossing them away at the whim of a new plot, they actually developed them and had a reason for each of them being there. Hell, they even took past characters which were somewhat 2d and gave them a personality and fleshed out their characters. What could have been a case of ending in the dumps, Heroes last season was pretty good.

As it should be. They should also probably have their licenses taken away as I don't think they would be smart enough to drive. CSI made me pity the people that live in its Las Vegas. The CSI unit there is the ultimate law in that town.There's also the whole thing about juries expecting every case to be proven with DNA evidence, microfibers, and whatnot, due to CSI. It's actually become such a problem that judges has started asking potential jury members whether or not they think CSI is an accurate representation of police work -- if they do, they're off the list.
Offices vary dramatically. Police work is something more specific.I never understood the whole "people in the field hating TV shows about what they do" I've worked in offices for years, but that doesn't make me hate the office because it's unrealistic.

Seriously. The "motion sensors" episode had me in tears.ABC is killing Better Off Ted, which was hilarious. That's the one that really burns me.

Perhaps, but the fact that most intelligent people can easily get out of (and often do get out of) jury duty is one of the reasons our justice system fails us so often.It is tempting to say that I think CSI represents real police work just to get out of jury duty though....

Especially now that CBS has scheduled Big Bang Theory, the most (inexplicably) popular sitcom currently on TV, against it.Community got picked up for another season. I fully expect it to be canceled at the end of season 2.

So... Heroes is television's answer to Cats?To my mind Heroes managed to create some really good characters, but ultimately they didn't know what to do with them. Those characters really deserved a better, more thought-out plot.
