I have watched Heroes on NBC from the start and cannot stop watching it! It has become one of my favorite shows. An arc on Heroes would be very fun.
( the arc shouldn’t encompass the first episode because god knows what sick joke Sean will come up with for Niki. )
Everything after that… “meh” I dunno… it’s been disappointing. Maybe the first year set too high a bar…
I concur. First was the best season, 2nd meh and the end of S3 was BAD.
I still love the show very much. I have noticed that people either love it or just don’t. Me? I need me my Sylar fix drool
I’m crossing my fingers this season will be better…but we’ll see…
I have always enjoyed the show, through the good and the bad. I even enjoyed Hiros Excellent Adventure in Medieval Japan, and endured the teen angst love plot. Overall it is consistently entertaining and sometimes achieves greatness. What is not to like? I have never understood the haters out there. Take the Sean advice on this one: lower your expectation threshold somewhat and enjoy.
I think that it’s hard to lower your expectations when there is such excellent TV to be watched–BSG was a prime example. It delivered over and over and over, season after season with only a disappointing episode here and there. (Not whole disappointing arcs or even disappointing, contrived, CRAP seasons as Heroes has unfortunately delivered. I have kept hoping Heroes will improve. I’m on the fence whether I will watch it this season. I suppose it depends whether it is up against something else I would rather watch, though with DVR’s even that may not matter. If I start to watch and it’s going downhill fast, even my Sylar-lust won’t keep me watching. Zachary Quinto has a brilliant career ahead of him, Heroes or no Heroes, I believe. If nothing else, I’ll see him in the next installment of Star Trek. I don’t consider myself a “hater” of Heroes. Rather, I am someone who expects writers and producers not to underestimate my intelligence, not to contradict their storylines, not to rewrite characters’ personalities with no explanation. Heroes’ creators aren’t holding up their end of the bargain. It has been a crap show since the season finale of season 1, unfortunately and I’m very sorry to have to deliver this news in a thread that was started by someone who is obviously new to the series and very enthusiastic.
This pretty much sums up my thoughts on the show. I knew I had to stop watching when I started spending entire episodes hoping Sylar would slaughter the entire cast and become King Sylar of Planet Sylar(formerly known as Earth).
Despite that, I would still like to hear at least 1 episode on it, and a good review from the GWC crew might even get me back into it.
I concur. The show gets a little iffy when plots go all screwy but I’ll always love the show unless Hiro dies or something stupid.
Season three finale hurt… but i would still digg on some heroes GWC style
The show definitely dropped a quality level or two in season 2, but things picked up nicely last season despite the ending, and I’m looking forward to this season quite a bit!
