make or break season for Heroes. If more viewers abandon it, it wont be back for another season.

DVRing along with House. Not sure I'm going to jump through hoops to watch the show ASAP. Unless the new bad group is worth paying attention to.

Agree though I was intriqued with the final from last season. It has my interest for a little while right now. Just give me LOST.

I'll probably watch it, but I am really about to be one of the viewers that abandons the show. The show could be so good if they wouldn't keep butchering the plot.

Every season it seems to reboot itself back to the characters original position, an extremely frustrating way of writing a show. Killing Nathan (sort of) was unbelievably dumb as Adrian Pasdar is one of the few actors on the show who can act. I believe if there is another season and Quinto doesnt leave, they will figure out a way to separate Nathan and Sylar (Nylar? Sythan?).

I only saw the last 10 minutes, but I thought Matt slowly losing his mind and not revealing he was seeing Sylar for a few shows would have been a nice slow burn. Yes, it keeps Quinto offscreen some, but he's been a major player since he showed up and a few episodes without him would give others a chance to shine before his shocking return as Matt's corrupt conscience.

I watched Heroes last night as I DVRs House to watch with my wife and it was decent. I thought the new characters were interesting. The main dude, still not sure what all his powers are as he seemed to do a few things.

I made the decision to punt Heroes as my DVR was recording both House and How I Met Your Mother. I'll try and catch it online.

I watched it yesterday. I missed a few of the last episodes from last spring. I thought it was at least interesting. I'll give it a few more weeks.

i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

It wasnt bad, sort of interesting in some parts... Definitely just felt like a middle of the season type episode, nothing big or exciting going on.

Any scene with Claire is automatic fail. Any scene with Pete is near automatic fail.

Judging by the previews we are going to have to sit through another story arc about someone learning Claire has superpowers and dad trying to cover it up. Havent we done this in each of the first three seasons already?

Just got done watching it on DVR--disappointing which is par for the course with this show. The only cool scenes was the guy with the knives. The rest was just blah.

I had not followed the series. I caught a few epsiodes last year, and made a point of getting the season finale.

I have to disagree about Claire, at least from the little I have seen. Her character has an interesting background and poewr set. Plus she's eye candy. The acting, meh.

In any event, this was not a grabber. Unlewss things pick up, I wont make time for many more.

uhhh... i was kind of excited about waiting until the season started again. tho was disappointed it ended last time, again.

then i saw it was going again. i read summaries of the last 3 episodes. thought long and hard about it... and said to myself, i can't ****ing watch this show. lame! big time.

oh boy, claire in college. oh boy, Sylar in Matts head. oh boy, Peter as an EMT. ...the heroes all having some pathetic inner conflict... i mean ugh

i blame melrose place. that show ****en screwed up TV.

I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying this season. I thought the show was dead and done, but the news that Robert Knepper was joining the cast had me intrigued after his work on Prison Break. He has been a fantastic addition to the show and his character has pulled the show together in a way I didn't think possible.

edit: Claire quit college
Peter and Sylar are "good guys" now (neat twist how they made that happen)
Hiro is useful again - as is his sidekick
a ton of new cast, and bringing back some old villians - though after tonight, who knows where they will all end up
Nathan is dead, and gone


Anyhow, i'm enjoying this show again (finally). This season has been entertaining me quite a bit. Thought i'd share.
