Heroes Virtually Cancelled

What about Mohinder? Is he gone for good, too?

Spoilers beware!

 

[Sakrysta]

Kill it! Kill it with fire!!!

(You can decide if I'm referring to Heroes in general or Mohinder in particular. Either works for me.)

Obviously I asked that question before watching last night's eppie.

Too bad Tim Kring didn't just reboot the entire series after season two. The guy should have just pretended the second season never happened. I heard comics do this type of stuff all the time!

Come to Supernatural, oh he who was let go. With those exotic looks, you're a perfect fit. You'd be appreciated there.

I got the gig for him: major recurring character on V, as the Lizard King (Anna's boss) who flies to earth in S2 to see what the frak is holding up dinner!

Last night's episode was surprisingly coherent. Are they gonna pull an Enterprise and finally figure out how to write the show just as it's canceled?

Sometimes it's easy to hate television.

No, because unlike ENT, Heroes' lamebrain creator hasn't been forced out of the writing room for the final season.

Well, going by another Heroes thread on this forum, there is an audience who loves the idea of a powerless Hiro being a wanted fugitive yet finding the time and the means to go overseas and stop a wedding just because he wants to be a hero and needs Ando to be his sidekick. Or that making Sylar think he's Nathan makes perfect sense.

I'm not sure about the former, but I know the latter was heavily criticized here. While it might have "made sense" to Angela--the one who pressured Matt to do it--it was obvious to everyone else that it wouldn't work for very long, and Sylar would be back.

NBC is completely imploding lol.

Yup

I gave up on Heroes at the start of season 3 when I noticed it was season 1-3 rehashed and nothing was ever going to happen. All those heroes coming in, going out, no one being safe, etc. never happened. The series took the traditional route at the season 1 finale to bring Sylar, the perennial villian, back.

Sure, they introduce a new villian now and then, Sylar jumps sides but it doesn't ever change. It sticks to the same convoluted plot as it always did. That's why it's going to be cancelled. Who cares about a series where nothing changes? Whether it's official this season or not I seriously doubt it makes it much further.

Couldn't agree more...

Yup

So that's what happened to Supertrain, huh?

Is it wrong to want Kring to be on that train ? not to die just to keep him away from the show for a while

Coherent doesn't do you much good if the audience falls asleep out of sheer boredom. I really had to struggle to force myself to watch the stupid thing. Even at its worst, this show usually manages some degree of entertainment value.

And now coherent was it, really? They're still writing Sylar way out of character (he doesn't have a character - he just does whatever the plot du jour needs him to do). Samuel was the driving force behind the whole story, and we've yet to see if his motivation makes any sense at all.

What is Heroes all about

 

[Luckyflux]

It's all about an hour long...sometimes it runs a minute over though...

Actually, I'm just taking a cheap shot at one poster (who probably hasn't even posted in this thread) who thinks Heroes is a great show that's well-written.

That's exactly the problem.

 

[RoJoHen]

What is Heroes all about

That's exactly the problem.

It's about people who sometimes have powers and no sense of direction in their lives.

I really liked the first season; I accepted the second- but then I saw Watchmen & realized how Kring had co-opted the idea (without paying Moore).
Eff Kring, & his big ego.
Thanks to the fine actors in the series, who made the characters real, for a time, as writing permitted.
