1. I know, I don't like that either....

and I'm actually getting confused about all the time frames...... :shrug: not crazy about that either. I do understand they're trying to show how the people with gifts turned out the way they did, but it's kinda confusing for me. But still love the show.

3. The thing that's bugged me about this season...

is that it's too similar to the first. It's another case of trying to prevent some future event from occurring. I like how a lot of the characters have become ambiguous: Peter, Sylar, and Mohinder in particular. You knew who the good guys were in the first season, now it's less clear. But I wish the story ideas were a little more original.

Flagging ‘Heroes’ Attempts Self-Rescue

By EDWARD WYATT

LOS ANGELES — When Ben Silverman, co-chairman of NBC Entertainment and its associated production studio, addressed a meeting of reporters in July, he confidently predicted that “Heroes,” the network’s biggest prime-time drama, was going to get even bigger.

Although the series had been off the air since the writers’ strike last year, Mr. Silverman said that Tim Kring, the creator of “Heroes,” had successfully addressed the problems that had plagued the show’s second season — confusing plotlines, scattered characters, questionable leaps in logic, all of which led to a shrinking audience from the critically acclaimed first season.

“We’re really confident, and we’re excited to see the audience respond and come back,” Mr. Silverman said, “and we think it’s going to be its biggest year ever.”

That has not happened. With ratings for “Heroes” down 20 percent from those of a year ago and regular third-place finishes in total viewers for its time slot, NBC took action last week, midway into the show’s third season. Two co-executive producers were fired: Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander, who also served as senior writers and oversaw much of the script development.

But questions remain about whether the series can be revived. Writers are already working on the 20th of a planned 25 episodes this season, meaning any changes produced by the firings are unlikely to be seen on the air before May. By that time viewership could well erode further from the estimated 8.3 million people who watched recent episodes at its regular time, Monday nights at 9.

8. It's Just Too Conflated Now

I enjoyed the first season immensely. Second season didn't seem rewarding at all. I watched the season opener this year and all the time-jumping just got to be too much.

4. I've read comics for thirty years now

They need to hire my ass as a writer.

5. The preview for next week made it look as if

they'll be delving even more into each character's backstory. Are they just going to rehash season one?

The weird thing is, this season I find myself rooting for Sylar because he's trying to be a good guy.

6. Yeah I think thats what they are goin for

Since its supposed to be all about the villains this season. I just dont like Papa Perrelli stealing peoples powers! Thats just not cool. I wish Syler would kill more people already. He needs to remind people why he is the big bad.

7. I'll be tuning in to see how Peter and Hiro get their powers back

if for no other reason. I guess Peter's powerlessness also partially explains how Future Peter sports a vicious facial scar--maybe he gets wounded before he's able to recover his abilities.
