Heroes -- 2 hour season 4 Premiere -- "Orientation; Jump Push Fall" -- 9/21/09

Heroes

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Claire garners attention at college following an odd death in the fourth-season premiere. Elsewhere, Angela worries Nathan will discover his real identity; Matt has a surprise visitor; Tracy and Noah team up to investigate a crime; and a friend asks Peter for help.



Let the bashing begin.....

19 episodes non-stop (this counts as 2 episodes) until the Winter Olympics. Chuck will take over this timeslot in March as noted before.

Robert Knepper, formerly of Prison Break, joins the cast as a series regular.

You've tortured and teased me enough Mr. Kring. Not this year. This abused wife is leaving your no good ass for good!

Could Hiro be staring at the cheerleaders chest any harder?

I stood by longer than most (until the finale last year) but that last episode pushed me over the edge. I'll give Kring one last chance tonight before Heroes is jettisoned from the Tivo for good. It will be interesting how short these threads will get as the weeks go by.

Also Kring is standing in the way of Chuck.

I will actually tape this since the previews looked good. But if this 2h sucks, I'm out.

That's my position, too. One last episode, and ONLY because there's nothing else on tonight I want to see. But if it's crap within the first hour, I'm deleting this season pass.

I got so lost last season with the time travel stuff that I gave up. Will I be able to follow what is happening in season 4 if I only watch 5 episodes or so of season 3?

I quickly read the second ep's title as "Dump, Flush, Fail."

May or may not tune in tonight... I still have 35 eps of BSG to finish before "The Plan."

Season 3 wrapped its plotlines up pretty well. I think the main thing you need to know going into Season 4 is that:

Spoiler:
Nathan is dead. Sylar -- who has Mystique-style disguise powers -- has been brainwashed into thinking he is Nathan.


I'll be watching (although given the long episode and the long episode of House, I probably won't watch this until tomorrow).

Won't be back for this. I should've left during the abysmal season 2 and have nobody but myself for sticking around. Its sad really, this show had such potential. Good luck to those who stick around !

We'll see if "She Who Must Be Obeyed" decides if we're watching this or not. If I had free will, I would pass.

I'll chime in too that I'm passing on this. I never got around to the last 4 or 5 from season 3. I removed the series pass as I noticed this pop up on the schedule. Unless the reviews are mind-blowing enough to make me come back, I've had enough.

I can't decide whether I'm going to bother watching this tonight or not. I had actually forgotten about it until I saw the thread here. I'm just not sure if I care about Heroes anymore.

You should at least watch Cold Snap if you still have it. One of the few bright spots last season. Not to mention it had one of the coolest 'action' sequences on the show.

I think I did see that one. The one where the "Iceman" version of Ali Larter saved Micah, right?

I'm stalled at Eclipse part 2 from Season 3. Haven't decided if I will watch the rest or not.

That sounds like the network plans to move it to a daytime soap opera slot. Ugh.

If the ratings don't dramatically improve, I think these last 19 episodes will be it for the show. I think House's 2 hour premiere is going to kick it's ass.

That seems likely. I think I am on the fence about this. I already have a pretty full lineup of shows I want to watch. If the first episode is crappy, I think I am out. My wife has already given up on the show.

Am I the only person who is still watching Heroes because he enjoys it, flaws and all (and I readily admit that it is a very flawed show)?

I still like it, but over the course of the last season, I really started to be bothered by some of the ridiculous contrivances
Spoiler:
I found Syler's bad guy/good guy/bad guy identity crises to be more annoying than the wonder twins

I still enjoy it although it does get harder and harder to defend the flaws... But Im still open for it. Im also one who remembers that the first season was flawed as well and not perfection like some think it was.
