Although from the recent 'Asylum', with inclusions of shapeshifters, mentions of the Apocalypse, and religious innuendos, you'd think the Heroes writers were receiving inspiration from Supernatural -- which isn't really a bad thing at all! **wink** oh… one other thing… yes, recent episodes have been better.

And despite that the show came off as TV-version X-Men wannabe, it was still interesting enough to provide an hour of entertainment that didn't involve a hospital, courtroom, or murder scene investigation. I'm not sure when it all reached a point where I didn't care anymore. Somewhere around season 2, and the strike didn't help in their case either. Then season 3 started as a royal mess. One thing that sci-fi audiences would like to see is some attempt at plot consistencies, especially with established 'facts' as presented on the series. It simply had too many characters it didn't know what to do with and it got silly... he's got power / no he doesn't / now he does... we're in the past / now in the future / now is the past... she's dead / no she's alive / no she's dead again... etc. There is a big difference between fascinating plot twist and utterly implausible plot occurence. Heroes is in trouble, but at the moment it's still one of the better things that NBC has to offer, so they'll be smart and keep it around. Maybe that will give Mr. Fuller some time to get things back on track and back to the basics that made it successful in the first place.

I almost stopped watching after season 2 but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt that they could fix what went terribly wrong. But no... they lost me after a handful of episodes in season 3. I think it's just time to put the show down. Too little too late in my book.
