I'm also hoping for more Hiro and Ando before the season ends.

I'm just hoping these two do something period.  The story arc involving them has been nothing but frustrating to me.

I know!  Haven't you felt like every time they're shown recently nothing really happens?  You're right, totally frustrating.

The whole "going to India to stop a wedding" thing was beyond stupid.

Agreed.

As regards Ando and Hiro, sometimes writers either can't get their heads around a character, or simply don't like them, so they struggle to write them. That's part of why shows with big ensemble casts like this have writing teams as opposed to one person handling the whole shebang. But I think Heroes is mostly the work of one person, so maybe Bryan Fuller doesn't like Hiro and Ando, so he's having trouble keeping them interesting? Dunno. Just a theory.

Fuller is just now back, like just the last 2 eps I think.
The suckage with Hiro and Ando started last season or...volume or whatever.

I liked this week's episode, but they could have done so much more.

They could have done so much more with Alice.  I thought Mohinder was going to die for a second there.  No such luck I guess. 

I liked the flashback stuff.  Angela was pretty smart even back then.  Good on her.  Who is Bobby Bishop?  I kept thinking we knew that name like we did the others, but I was getting it mixed up with Walter Bishop from Fringe.

One thing that bothered me-  Are we supposed to think that Angela is 64?  I was going to call some serious BS, but the lady who plays Angela is 58.  Damn.  She is a really good looking 58.  I still almost want to call BS.

Yeah, the last three episodes have done little for me. Nathan's demise is about the only noteworthy event, even though they found a way to keep him around. Wonder what they'll do once Sylar comes back. Will Adrian Pasdar be off the show, or will they do some stupid ghost thing where they can keep him around?

I dunno. I had high hopes after the episode where Rebel was revealed and Tracy was killed. It's been lukewarm to boring since.

So much potential.  So much phail.

I hope they don't have another "time traveling correction" to bring Nathan back.  Killing Daphne as they did was a waste... I suppose they got crap for killing her and not letting her/Matt wrap up the story... but what a waste.  All that effort to save her, just to have her die in the hospital?   Same with Villains... Ol' Pops Petrelli survived all that and is SO BAD and he died like a wuss.  Have people die for a reason.  You're telling me that Pops was the biggest, baddest dude ever and he didn't double-cross Sylar and steal all his powers?  A powerless Sylar would've just cried.  All Pops has to do is hug or touch you?  He didn't do that to Sylar?  Then he deserved to go.  That's dumb.

They should rename the show Bad Bad Sylar and People That Randomly Flip-Flop Their Behavior.  Even Sylar can't make up his mind who he is.

There is also no balance of power anymore.  Sylar has 4.3 million powers and Peter has one.  Peter was the yang to his yin. 

Hiro and Ando are perfect characters that don't get enough love.  Hiro's power isn't nearly as helpful as it would seem.  He goofs up a lot and he does entertaining things to make up for it.  The "death" of Ando was GOLD.  That's exactly how Hiro/Ando work.  I even buy Ando's new power.  It's a crappy power, UNLESS he's a team player.  He can sometimes shoot out a ball of lightning, but not effectively and he powers-up other people's powers.  Those are solid powers.  I'm even ok with Hiro losing teleporting.  Time AND Space is a lot for one dude.

Claire is good too.  I'm not in love with the little midget gal who plays her and often over-acts, but she's cute and she's typical for a teen girl.  I love that her power is often useless, too.  She can't die.  Wow.  That really doesn't help much in a fight... except that you know you'll be there tomorrow.

They either need to figure out a way for Sylar to only use 1 or 2 at a time or give Peter back the multi-use thing.  One or the other.  It would be better if they each had to turn them on and off somehow.


BAH! So much potential is being wasted!

This show has a lot of problems.

They need to quit changing the rules and the characters' powers.  I can only compare this to Lost but, on Lost you know that when someone dies, that person is dead.  If that person has a characteristic they're always going to have that characteristic.  If they say you can't do xyz then you can't do xyz.  Heroes pulls too many punches.

They should also take a cue from Lost and set an end date.  If this free for all is just gonna go on forever then why watch? If it's just going to be a constant run of making crap up to keep the show going as long as possible then there is no point, and likely they'll get canceled before we get any conclusion at all.

I like Hiro and Ando but their story lines are stupid.  And the bumbling thing with Hiro is wearing thin... nobody is as retarded as this guy, nobody.

And what's with them "aging" Clarie lately?  She's supposed to be like 17.  They're doing all this weird stuff with her drinking (in 2 episodes this last push) and Sylar being all up on and stuff and it's gross.  Especially since the last time Claire and Sylar were hanging together he thought that they were related.  Ick.

Did Peter get all of Sylar's powers, or just the shape shifting?

And FOR SHAME that they have President Worf and they haven't even given him a speaking line. 

Tracy coming back was stupid.  I knew it was coming, but I had forgotten.  I was disapointed.  It was so lame.  SO VERY LAME

Haven't watched in forever because it was so stupid.  It had so much potential at the start and it just got too far into bad story telling land that they couldn't pull it out.
