Heroes Needs Your Help
Yesterday we asked you to weigh in on fixes for 90210, and today we turn to Heroes. We’ve read your comments, emails and tweets, and we see that many of you are frustrated about the direction the show has gone. Why are Heroes‘ once-beloved supers in trouble, and what can be done about it? Here’s what we’ve heard from you, the fans:
“I just can’t take it anymore. Heroes‘ number-one issue in my opinion is that the writers don’t follow the rules they establish. We can’t trust anything because they change the rules to suit their stupid ideas each week. Examples of rule-breaking: (1) Peter was always my favorite from the beginning and they destroyed his character by changing the way his powers worked. Stupid. (2) The idea in the beginning was him against Sylar, epic titans. They screwed that up. (3) In volume two or whatever, let’s heal Nathan with Claire’s blood and resurrect Noah. But in volume four, let’s just let Nathan die instead of resurrecting him and keep Sylar around again. Gosh darnit, kill the mofo already! I am so sick of this character: He is so boring! ‘Will he become good? Will he change? No, let’s change his powers too…’ And I loved season one… so sad… —WWK commenter
“I really, really I want a permanent death. When Edie died in the first season it was traumatic. I mean she was cool, her story was cool, but the fact that they’ve kept her dead is awesome. There are so many plot holes now it’s ridiculous. Where is Caitlin? Why didn’t they use Claire’s blood to bring back Nathan? Was there really a Jessica? (Making the triplets quads.) I also want them stop taking and giving powers. Enough!” —WWK commenter
“Well, that was yet another terrible Heroes finale. That’s it. I’m done. I stuck through it hoping to see if it would get better with Bryan Fuller on board, but even he can’t save a sinking, profoundly idiotic ship. This show will go down as one of the biggest missed opportunities of all time. They had the makings of a good show in the first season and they threw it all away in disastrous fashion.” —WWK commenter
OK, so you’re not happy with the current direction of the series. What would you do differently? Which characters and storylines would you swap out? What’s your fix?
