a train wreck.

I know its gonna be bad, but I can't turn away.

Last night I self flagellated myself for 2 hours. All I could think of was, please, Dear Lord, kill Claire.

.....something 2 years later than anyone cares..

srsly

That show died in an explosion of fail somewhere in the 2nd season.

I would rather stab myself & go to a hospital ER waiting room for 8 hours than watch 1 hour of that POS.

edit: Here is why the 2nd season killed it:

Peter is manipulated by this evil dude into almost causing the apocalypse, even though everyone told peter that the evil dude was evil, and EVEN THOUGH PETER WAS A FREAKING TELEPATH WHO COULD HAVE JUST READ THE EVIL DUDE'S MIND AND FOUND OUT THAT HE WAS EVIL. FUCK YOU HEROES WRITERS!

Loved it first season...completely lost interest in it second season...haven't watched an episode in a LONG time. The Mexican senorita was hot in it though.

Seriously stopped watching last season just before the lezbo ratings grab and never looked back. That show is complete shit now.

Stopped watching last season. I think four year olds on speed, crack and vodka write that show.

I still watch Heroes... but only because there's nothing else on (at least there wasn't last night).

when I need background noise, it may as well be a mediocre tv show.

It really is the perfect example of a great show turning to pure shit. People rag on the Simpsons but even after 20 years, it doesn't come close to the crap that Heroes is.

It started out okay, but oh wow, it's a massive disaster now, yup.

I've not seen the last couple episodes, but it's been painful watching this season.

SO BAD.

I'm still watching Heroes, but they need to pull it together. The show has lacked direction since season 2, the storyline is all over the place, there's too many characters, not enough screen time for all of them. They need to pick a few and focus on them.

It's really goddamn painful to watch, I find myself smashing the fast forward and doing my own editing when it starts to eat ass. Which compresses each show into like 5-10 minutes of almost watchable television.

You can pretty much skip every part with Claire, Hiro, and that blonde they jammed into the storyline to be Noah's old partner. If they cut most of their cast and set their writers on fire, they might have a decent show.

Wut? Hiro is about the only reason I keep watching the show. He just never gets enough screen time.

The whole time travel bit runs the show completely off the rails. If you're working on the supposition that Hiro isn't a complete mongoloid, it leads to questions like: "Why wouldn't he go back in time and kick Syler's mom down the stairs?", "Why not go back in time when Samuel was a child and freeze time so you can leisurely beat him to death with a lamp?".

It would remove any sort of suspense or conflict from the show if used how everyone would use the power. Instead it's only in the show as a writer's crutch to give them something to fall back on when they run out of bad ideas.

I can't believe this bullshit show has been allowed to continue for 4? 5? seasons while the assholes at Fox canceled Sarah Conner Chronicles.

fuckers. I hate TV.

take it off. for the love of god, take it off your list.

This man speaks the truth. I used to watch it hoping I could see one of the characters I hate get killed by Sylar. Unfortunately, few of them ever did. If I had my way, it would be reduced to only Hiro, Ando and Sylar with the rest being scalped by Sylar.
