    1. Hey boys...this is a spoiler.

    2. Quinto is getting 'better'...Star Wars isn't enough for you?...they killed him off in Heroes obviously because his agent knew he deserved better.

    3. Hiro Shouldn't die. They need to stop giving everyone powers and re-hire the same people that worked on the first season. That's all.

    4. If your a true geek you wouldn't care about how badly written the show has become. Its a show super heroes dammit.

    I want desperately to like this show. I'm a sucker for superheroes. I even own both Fantastic Four movies.

    But guys? You're not making this easy for me. Stop writing all-powerful characters if you're just gonna neuter them. When they're all powerful, let them actually do crap. Stop changing Nathan's (and several others) character back and forth so much. And for the love of crap, we get it. Claire wants to grow up/not be a freak/be a freak/has emotional issues. Can one of those issues be blind, indeterminate rage or something for a while?

    No, wait. That one scene in "the future" where she's all tough kinda sucked a lot. Like Lana Lang when she went all yellow ranger on us. Only more strained.

    Oh, yeah, also. Get time travel right. "Step on a butterfly today, in a few years, a million people are dead." That is not how the butterfly effect works. Grrr.

    I've held on long enough. Thank you Netflix for removing my ability to watch this awful show from my Instant Queue - you know me too well and know I will be tempted, but I will be much better off without it.

    Seriously, a few years ago, I was all excited about TV again. Now all that remain for me is Lost and Family Guy.

    heroes season 1 was possibly the best TV, ever. season two was the biggest letdown ever, coupled with the writers strike made it just suck. season 3 was a lot better, but nowhere near 1.

    that said, Hiro is the best Hero. except he can't do anything wtf

    Heroes did get really bad. But Hiro should not die. He's one of the better characters (although he is much less interesting with no powers.)

    @2-7offsuit is ioos: Haven't you realized, NO ONE EVER DIES on Heroes. They either get injected with Claire's blood, or Claires cries on them, or Claire frencehes their corpse, and they come back alive. Either that or they are actually one of 5 triplets who each look and talk exactly alike, but have different powers(Thank you producers for keeping Ali around this way). THAT is why the show stinks now.

    They almost seem to have bought M. Night Shamalamadingdong's book, "What! A Twist?", and use it to write the scripts.

    @met2art: i am sick of the lame "using a comic book" or "painting the future" to progress the plot lines.

    sylar sucks. he collects all these powers, yet really only uses the first one he took. what is the point ?

    claire is lame and she has really short arms. she's like a little t-rex, except useless.

    hiro is awesome. i hope the show gets better.

    oh, and parkman is the most annoying character to ever appear on the show. he consistently wins for the worst storylines of each season. daphne was a tramp. wash your hair whore.

    Random Fact which I just learned today: The phone number, (800) 555-0199, is common to many films and television shows because this is the only number that has been reserved by the phone company as an allowable "fake" 800 number for media usage.
