Nothing to do with ratings...has to do with the risk of a writer's strike and investing money into salaries/production for a show that will not have writers.
I think most here are overly critical of the new series mostly because they only want to see claire.
This season hasn't been nearly as good as the last one.
Last season, I was hyped up before every single episode. I wouldn't take my eyes off the TV. While Claire was nice eye candy, she didn't do much for me in terms of the plot.
This season, I find myself not really caring. Don't care about the twins. Don't like the amnesia scenario with Peter. I do like HRG becoming an even more badass mofo. And I don't feel a great urge to know who is killing everyone from the old guard off and why.
IMHO, last season had a much darker feel to it. And I liked that.
If Heroes: Origins was a dark anthology, I'd be happy to watch it. I just don't like a lot of fluff they've put in this season.
