Adam is one the most interesting because he seems to have the most conviction on the show. Of course they had to kill him off! Dumbing his character down would showcase how bad the writers are. Instead, they kill him off and make the rest of the characters gimicky morons. :D

My frustration with this show is not only do the writer’s not to seem to have a game plan, but they also appear to be changing characters for the sake of changing them and not through story development. I feel like not only are they trying (and mostly failing) to make up for last season, but they are revising what made season 1 so much fun and seem like it had potential to become a good superhero type show. Good vs Evil, foiling plots to destroy the world or take over or what have you. It seemed as if we would get these special people to band together for good or evil and maybe a group that is inbetween; however it never quite got there. We still have all this scattered running around and a sadly misused Matt Parkman, who is coming off kind of pathedic these days. Hiro feels more bumbling than ever, which isn’t cute anymore, especially after his epic journey last season. Oh and what the hell is with killing off Adam Monroe?? It’s like they tucked him away then brought him back for nothing. Good grief. I’m not completely fed up with the show and I’m hoping it will get better, but so far I think it’s going to be another disappointing season.

Agreed 100% with this review. Heroes really lost It’s charm for my in season 1, when they hyped up this massive conclusion and done nothing with it. And then the shit mess for season two? Don’t give me the writers strike blah blah for their screw ups. There is nothing new and interesting in heroes anymore. Bringing in new characters and killing off awesome intriguing characters is not the way to go.

And Leon how is building up a character to be all evil to then turn him good, a good thing? Seems to me the writers didn’t really know what to do with syler so they turned him good? BORING. This show has lost all interest for me.

Leon, you forgot the all important dagger in your assessment:

“Of course you wouldn’t understand that this is a good show, you write for a site called Film School Rejects. Figures.”

Come on, you know you wanted to say it…

I think you judge such a simple show, to harshly, your expectations are way to high
and in that you feel like the show is failing you, it was a simple drama show that got
blown out of proportion on how much people love it now. There trying there best
and unless you can write better (which you probably cant) i would stop writing such
shitty reviews on decent and ok Tv Shows like Heroes. I agree this episode didnt
deliver but the previous episodes have delivered on not only bringing in more twists
to the story but also changing things around, instead of Rehashing Sylar and making
him the bad guy like they so implied at the end of the second season,hes turning
good instead, and peter will ultimately still be good more than likely.

the show has a great formula to it and great structure your just expecting
something so incredibly smart that you want it to blow your mind.
heroes doesnt do that buddy, look to lost or some other show, heroes is about
People who get powers and Deal with it, and choose what they do with it, and where
they stand in the world.

“This week’s episode only proved what I had previously theorized, that the show’s writing team has absolutely no idea where they are going with any of this.”

My thoughts exactly. No matter how muddled, confused, or frustrating LOST got at the height of its most muddling, frustrating confusedness, I always had confidence that the writers had an endgame. I have no such confidence at all with this show, which I have been trying awfully hard this season to like. And I am failing.
