Dude, just stick with the TV show. All that other outside tie-in shit ranges from contradictory to downright disappointing. :lol: I'm still waiting to see what happened to the Mailman with the big forehead, "Black Canary Scream" powers, and with the hot ass GF. :(

I just got my newest EW in the mail and Heroes is on the cover. They have a 3-4 page article on how the show is "broken" and their fixes. The amazing thing is that everything they mentioned has been posted here at some point. So none of it will come as a surprise to anyone here. It's almost as if the author is a regular here. :lol:

Their points included:

- weeding out the giant cast and killing off some characters so that we actually care about them. There's little tension as it is now. A lot of the characters seem pointless at this point like Parkman and his African jaunt and Suresh's Fly ripoff. Hiro and Ando are largely stale at this point as well.

- Dump time travel because of all the swiss cheese plot holes it creates not to mention it's hard to keep track of at this point.

- making characters do dumb 'out-of-character' things just to advance the story (Suresh injecting himself says hello, and Hiro says konnichiha)

- get the show grounded back in reality. No one has a normal life anymore. Point being, what made season 1 shine was that they were normal folks coping with abilities. Peter was a nurse, Claire a high schooler/cheerleader, Nikki/Jessica stripping to pay debts, Parkman a cop, etc.

Plus a bunch of others I'm forgetting. One thing they really hated was Vortex man. :( I thought he was one of the coolest additions since the first season and hope he returns.

Mild spoiler about a returning cast member:

It does have some good points.

not so, rogue could not control killing the people she touched as arthur petrelli can, also rogue could not take away their powers.
