I know it gets bashed a lot for so many reasons but I just can't stop watching it. :(

Did anyone see what happened on tonights episode after Sylar showed up at Parkman's house and told his wife that he was a friend and wanted to know where he was.

Nbc ran it long and the dvr cut it off.

Wait, Parkman has a wife now? The speed cripple, the ex-wife who cheated on him with his friend, or someone else?

Well technically it was the ex-wife and he is kinda living with her since they have a kid.

The hot cripple chick got killed off if I remember right.

Didn't read the thread because I'm only on season three and don't want things spoiled, but I have to say I am addicted to this show even though it's far from perfect. It's like a soap opera for nerds! :)

...he's living with his ex-wife...I think that's the most unrealistic thing on that show...

I'm glad I'm not missing much. I watched the first 1 1/2 seasons and loved it. But then ran out of room on DVR and was taping too many other things on Monday so I have a bunch of downloaded episodes that I haven't watched yet and was just going to Netflix the seasons to catch up.

I'll probably just skip it alltogether now b/c I can't see ever having time in my life to watch this. Plus it seemed to be getting really weird and lame b/c of the time travel, super powers of some of the people like Peter and Sylar.

Even nerds have standards. Well, for TV shows anyhow. ;)

The idea to make Claire the show's villain proposed earlier is a good one...until you imagine Hayden trying to be all villain-y and emoting. Then you realize it's quite possibly the worst idea ever.

It's like watching two women make out. It's hot and cool at first. Then at some point you realize they are just doing it for the attention and you'll never get anything better out of it.

At least you still get to watch.

Saw a commercial for Monday's episode and Sylar and Claire make out. Really getting stupid. Glad I bailed.

you gotta be kidding...

Yeah, though not by choice. They are grasping for ANYTHING to try and keep people watching.
Even though it looks like Claire really is gay now, no one seems to care. Shows how far the show has fallen.

Scary that it might actually have another season to go before NBC and the public realizes it was over a year ago.

Ok, hit the tipping point...I hung in as long as I could, but this week's episode was more shallow than my kitty's water dish.

I'm out.

I discovered the trick to making Heroes watchable.

step 1: dvr it
step 2: FF through all the carnival scenes

It's a train wreck, they need to just stop. I say we give them the Sarah Connor Chronicals treatment: End it with no questions asked and no actual ending. It's gotten that bad.

As you said, yank it, no questions asked...fill the time slot with Conan. :D
