This would also help keep Sylar as a major threat, since he master any ability he gains, surpasses the orginal holder of the ability.

Merely taking away Peters powers is a weak patch jobs and bad writing. It’s been done before within this storyline.

By slowly limiting the powers of each character we get to a situation whereby they can get back to a slower storyline with limited developments which is what made season 1 brilliant.

As said, Heroes started moving way way too fast, and by limiting certain factors we get back to a pace where plot, character and tone matter again.

I am a big fan of the show and I definitely think they will pick up and make up for any errors so far. But to say the fans are responsible for the disappointment they feel is about as illogical as saying Star Wars fans are to blame for the awful film that the Phantom Menace was. Would you buy into George Lucas saying “You fanboys got your hopes up.” I doubt it.

And we should not be asked to lower our expectations just because the ending hasn’t been revealed yet. I didn’t have to see the next two films in the Star Wars trilogy to know I hated Jar Jar Binks and felt that much of the story in Episode I was wasted on pointless trivial exposition. It’s the same way with “Heroes.” Two years from now it’s not like I am going to say, “Oh! Now I know why that line Elle said was so awful!” You can make assessments as you go. I didn’t like the episode as much as others but I still love the show.

Besides, isn’t that what reviews our for in this situation, to give a weekly analysis and comment on where the show is in this chapter?

I felt the first few episodes were rushed so I bet we are thinking the same about the show, at least more than you think.

before we critique this series we need to watch everything from start to finish and
this is still in the mid way point of this season

from what they have shown its mixed feelings on wether whos good or bad with
angela or arthur… it seems angela is always coniving but papa petrelli seems like
the cruel villian, no wonder they have a twisted family.

but you missed the whole point with sylar, when he was “turning” from papa
patrellis words.. he was thinking about what he said and how peter left him, BUT OH
WAIT peter came back and showed sylar the truth that peter does care for his
brother that he came back for him… and at that moment seeing no other way to get
peter to safety he launches him out the window and levitate falls peter slowly to the
ground….. PETER cannot survive 7 fucking stories of a fall like he did without a
power.

god how can you miss this its so obvious they pointed it out.. even peter was like “i
think sylar saved me!”

you easily forget that this is a drama show, with people dealing with real life
abilities… this isnt X-men

even if you had powers and control over your abilities being thrown in midair and
trying to stop your self is like saying… im going to look left and right at the same
time.

Btw good review..adam sweeney, you have good points and i am still a big fan of
this show and i like the direction there going with the petrellis and also parkman

Oh but wait…it gets better. The overriding power on Heroes seems to be Telekinesis. Flick of a wrist and someone goes flying through the air. My problem with that is..Peter, Sylar and now Papa Petrelli have that power and when they “fight”, the ensuing battle is comical to say the least. It seems to be a battle of who can flick their hands the quickest. Can Sylar not stop himself midair using his own power? What about his other powers cos he sure has a s**tload of them from season 1. Enough with the telekinesis already.

Heroes had and still has huge potential. It can be rescued. Save the plotlines, save the show.
