Sorry you got sucked into this stupid, retarded show, kal.  I know you mean well. 

I, for one, was watching "The Holy Mountain" on my PC while my wife dragged me in an attempt to watch this show with her once again. 

Kal

I dont know how nobody here watches this... I think many of you dont want to admit it. The show is actually good, and the finale was better that what I expected.

Actually, I thought the finale was kind of a mess.  I still like the show enough to watch a second season, though.

The finale was just about the biggest joke and let down of any season ender I can think of. All of these predictions, all of the build up, all of the plot holes... just leads up to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Yes, flying your bro into the upper atmosphere is much better then knocking him out, sedating him (as they did Ted in the past) or capping him in the head and having him regenerate later.

Yes, challenge a dude that can control time to a "who's quicker" match.

Yes, protect that parking meter -- Save the fucking meters! -- but once you have go cuddle your useless, stupid husband.

Yes, I can phase through objects. Think I'll step in front of my wife and stop this bullet with my large intestine. Oh, yeah, forgot, could have just phased her to. My bad.

Yes, I have multiple powers. I can absorb them and use them at my will. Have you seen my power of fists. Here let me show you. Gogo fisticuffs!

Yes, we did just lamely beat the biggest threat in our lives. Oh time to party. Hahahaha good job all. Let's just walk away and not see that the huge threat just either crawled down a man hole or turned into a cockroach.

Yes, I am telepathic, but just like every other hero in this show, I have the secondary ability to eat bullets with my torso. Don't worry, I have a healing factor to. Didn't Cerebro tell you?

Yes, I did play Shaft. I think that's why NBC let me have another show appearance so I could pick up my scale for this episode. Pay no attention that my scene is completely useless and the writers are so lazy they don't even TRY to explain the reason for me being in this present-flashback.

Yes, I'm a rabid fan of a show called Heroes. It's the best show in the world. It's like 24 but with more plot holes and lazier writing. Don't you say that it steals well-known plot devices from popular comic story lines. Kring doesn't even read comics. I will defend this show to my death, despite I watch the evidence of how much crap it is every week.

Good day Heroes.

In any case, if [kal] and polka are still digging the show by the time the season finale comes around, I'll put season 1 on my netflix queue.

Let's recap.

OK, so that's one...

It's no good.

:saywhat:  So NOW what do I do?

I can't do it.  I just can't.  Those first 2 1/3 episodes I watched were just awful.  I can't do it.

Raikus

Season had about a 4:1 good episode ratio. So if you can suffer through those odds then do so.

Me, I'll keep watching it because it gives me something to make fun of.

How is NYC not part of the world?

I just couldn't get into the characters and how the show only made them about their powers and not fully-developed three-dimensional.

Now I hear they have their own versions of Nikki and Paolo for a spin-off show.

Its cause something really bad will happen in NY and they act like if it was the end of the world. Considering the popularity of America in the rest of the world right now, I dont think the world will be over if NYC is destroyed. So saving NY does not equal to saving the world.

The characters developed a lot more during the season... its not about their powers only. Some of them are boring, and some of them are empty, but there are a few characters that are very interesting. I think the same happens with Lost and most shows that feature so many characters.

Dougherty, Roth writing 'Origins' episodes
Source: Hollywood Reporter

"Heroes: Origins" is beefing up its creative roster with top behind-the-scenes talent.

"Superman Returns" co-writer Michael Dougherty and "Hostel" writer-director Eli Roth have each been tapped to write an episode of the anthology spinoff from NBC's hit sci-fi series.

Roth will also direct his episode, which introduces new characters as they discover their extraordinary powers.

Roth and Dougherty, both "Heroes" fans, join another big supporter of the show, Kevin Smith, who was previously set to write and direct an episode of the Universal Media Studios-produced "Heroes: Origins."

Dougherty, who also co-wrote "X2," recently made his directorial debut with the upcoming Warner Bros./Legendary Pictures horror movie "Trick 'r Treat," which he also wrote.

does anyone care about this show anymore or has it completely gone to shit?
