Is 'Heroes' In Peril? Starpulse Weighs In

HeroesIf one person says it, it's a rumor. If two people say it, it's gospel. But what if a chunk of the viewing audience is not only saying it, but also tuning out? That's the problem facing Heroes this season as it slips in the ratings and in the eyes of television critics.

the problems with Heroes:
*Hiro in Japan stretched out WAAAAAAY too long
*Sylar still alive: unnecessary, should have left him dead. So far he plays no big role and isn't controlling anything.
*Maja & Rodrigo or whatever his name is: unnecessary
*Kristen Bell's character: WTF? Is she a good guy or a bad guy? She complained about being in that "prison" since she was what, eight? Yet she helps "Bob" out by doing the dirty work, like the Haitian and HRG and then Eric Roberts and Shapeshifter chick?
*Ummm, NOBODY DIED in the first season finale, even though we were led to believe people did: D.B. (or D.L. or whatever Nikki's boyfriend's name was) miraculously survived the gunshots? Matt survived three or four shots? Sylar still alive? Peter goes nuclear but doesn't blow to bits somehow? Next thing they'll tell us is that Linderman is somehow still alive too.
*What's with Nichelle Nichols? Is the series going to resurrect an original Trekkie's acting career with each season?
*Now Nikki has a third personality? How does schizophrenia = hero?
*Claire can't cheerlead or have a boyfriend?? And her boyfriend can fly, so does that mean that he's her brother, because Nathan can fly, so is he another illegitimate kid of Nathan's??
*And Suresh? The guy has no powers, but his blood can somehow help cure? Not to mention that he somehow gets out of every near-death situation he's in. I don't believe HRG will shoot him, like it implies in next week's preview. He's central to the entire story

I never liked "Heroes" in the first place.This show is heavily stereotypical, the main characters resembling the "lost" crew (the chinese guy, the Hindu/Iraqui guy etc) without any kind of realism.
The scripts were forced and there were moments like, when a bus exploded and you had this schoolkid who pathetically said "cool". The Hindu mathematician that briefly becomes a Taxi-driver, the Asian sci-fi nerd, the beautiful cheerleader that gets killed/seriouslly injured three times in the pilot just to demonstrate her powers (I mean how many times can a teenage girl die/injure herself in a day)...How much more cliche can you poassibly get?
And the fact that programms like "smallville" or "Gilmore girls" that looked a lot worse on paper have delivered way more makes things look really awfull...

I like the show. Sure, this season has some flaws, but it's still entertaining. You have to suspend your disbelief. But I do see it going the way of "Lost" by introducing so many characters. However, "Lost" redeemed itself last season....so there IS hope....
