I think Heroes has borrowed one to many plotlines from Days of Our Lives…no one ever dies on that show either

Really? Comparing the craptasticness that is Heroes with Lost?

Wow… That boggles the mind.

I honestly can’t make up my mind about Heroes. I’m tired of the constant broken promises that it will return to the quality of the first season only to be disappointed. At the same time, I’m not sure I dislike the show quite as much as some other people do.

I already tried putting it on a “3-strike plan” only to give it a free pass when I thought it was getting better. It has had a couple of decent episodes in the latter half of the season only to be sprinkled among some mediocre, transitional episodes. The show is uneven at best.

So, since I can’t make up my mind — logical or not, fair or not — I’m linking my continued viewing of Heroes to the renewal of Chuck. If Chuck is renewed, I’ll remain undecided about Heroes a little while longer. But, if Chuck is cancelled, that’s it for Heroes. Partially, it would be because I see them a bit like a Monday night package deal, partially because Chuck is better than Heroes and if the better show can’t get renewed why watch the lesser show, and partially to boycott NBC because I think Kings & Meet the Press would be the only NBC shows left for me to watch (Kings only has a few eps left in the summer anyway & I’m less enthused about Meet the Press ever since the oversaturation of political news & the death of Tim Russert last year).

I agree that Heroes & Lost have been very similar in their runs so far…

Both had amazing first seasons, both were very much let down in their second seasons, both tried hard to bring it back in their 3rd season but didnt really…

So far Lost then did have a much better 4th season, but again, an average 5th season… so it reamins to be seen if Heroes will do a Lost and have a better 4th season…

I hope it does as I like the show, but, I’m also happy to give it up if they decided to drop it…

“…with the help of the spare shapeshifter that HRG already alluded to down in Building 26…”
Just to clarify …. I believe the spare shapeshifter is the one Syler killed when he took the shapeshifting power. The heroes used his dead body as the “Syler” whose dead body they burned at the end of the episode.

And this is why every time someone asks me to give Heroes a second chance I won’t. I’m so over it. Did they ever even make up for the fact that Peter left that girl in the (probably changed by now) future?

I thought it was a great finale. Really am enjoying it. Upset about Nathan really being dead. WHy couldn’t they shot him up with Claire’s blood. And you just now that Sylar will be back by November and poor mama Petrelli will be even crazier that she already is. All in all loved it especially Tracy I knew it!

Hey, is HEREOS like Cheerios meets Heroes, because I’d watch that over this mish mash of horribleness. Or I’d eat it for breakfast.

And to answer your question. It will wear off the first episode because the peeps at Heroes can’t seem to survive without having Sylar to opposite-of-pine-over.

Ugh. I hate watching this show.

Comparing Heroes to Lost is blasphemy. Lost has an endgame in sight and if you’ve watched any of this season you’d know just how good it is! Heroes is a floundering show that is scared to make any decisions that have a real impact, which is why no main characters will ever actually be killed off. They just keep introducing new heroes to have them contribute to the body count.

“Heroes” and “Lost” have become the “Twin Peaks” for Gen-X’ers…a great first season, and now, they are making it up as they go along. (yawn) I could care less about either of them.
