    Great, Jeph Loeb has ruined many books. Don’t get me wrong if your in elementary school “he’s great”, but if you actually have a brain its hard to buy his “convoluted” “asinine” stories! I’m glad see that he is gone and that heroes now has hope to be fixed.

    I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking Bryan Fuller is the man behind the success of season one. He wrote the wonderful Company man episode, this is enough to bring him back.

    I don’t know Loeb, but Alexander is one of the best thing that Heroes had! That’s not good at all!

    This show has gotten so twisted and confusing that it’s too much work. It makes The Matrix look like a Disney novel in terms of complexity. I get it, but I don’t want to work that hard! By the time I’m done figuring what the heck is happening, I forgot to enjoy the show! Let this be a lesson to you writers…K.I.S.S…..Maybe they should change the name to “Lost,” but even that won’t get them better ratings.

    I think that if they need any other writers they should get the ones off of “The 4400″. That was a GREAT show that they let fall through the cracks and break into a million peices. I think it would be a good look for Heroes.

    Yeah, so we all know that the show’s got more twists and turns this season than a roller coaster caught in a tornado, but if you can’t figure it all out and get behind it, what are you even doing watching the show? I love this show, and I love this season especially and can’t wait for it to come out on DVD. My brother and I have fun trying to guess what’s going to happen next and sometimes I’m right, sometimes he’s right, and sometimes it’s a surprise for both of us. I’m interested to see how the 180 degree turn Mohinder has taken turns out. Also, it is completely interesting to look at Peter and Sylar in season one, then look at them in season 3 and see the level of change that has gone on in their characters, role-reversal and the like. I’ve always found that sort of thing fascinating. Anyway, whatever happened to the Heroes video game Ubisoft announced back in July 2007? It was due to be out by the end of 2008 but that doesn’t seem likely now, seeing as how we’re near the end of ’08

    Oh no — the world’s going to end! Let’s go into the future and/or back into the past to save it!
    There — I’ve just written the next 3 seasons of Heroes. Want to know where to send the check?
    Hopefully new talent will mean new plotlines. Please.

    Hmm. Will the show get better now or worse?

    So what if the story lines are convuluted, silly, or just ridiculous (remember this is a comic book series), I mostly watch it just for the hot chicks who kick you-know-what. As long as the show has Hayden, Kristen, and Ali, the show has me!

    I hate to see Loeb go, but if it will help the show seem better to critics and the fair-weather viewers then it will be a good thing. We need more people liking it to keep it on the air.

    It’s still a good show. Better than last season. I’ll watch it until it’s canceled. I do think it’s better than Lost. (Yes, I put my asbestos superhero underoos on today in anticipation of the flames I’ll get for that remark.)

    The hack who writes the TV Watch for “Heroes” and all the whiny, annoying “fans” of this show can now rejoice.

    Looking back on three years of heroes, I have to ask what story? They start down one path then they just forget that idea and start telling a new story. I used to love this show, now it just a wast of time.

    Throwing continuity out the window is not the same thing as a twist. The mythology of Heroes has so much potential, unfortunately since mid S2 only a fraction of that is being realized. Certainly the show was affected by the writer’s strike, what show wasn’t? However, when the current batch of writers can’t seem to remember or correctly reference details from previous seasons, it’s time to bring in people who can.
