John_Wagenvoort It seams that certain series follow a particular commercial selling formula.I've been watching this series on Netflix commercial free. I now realize why you need the commercials.It's to give one a break from the most mind numbingly drug induced dribble know to man. Come on give people some credit.Series one should have stopped right there. It was passable as a mini/midi series. There was a resolution so leave it there.But no. It had to continue on. So series two had one last shred of common sense left and from there it just turned to (S)tore (H)igh (I)n (T)transit.The only guy that has any credence as a character is Hiro.Some reincarnated Star Trek actors thrown in and obviously some very free thinking, round table binge nights and the rest of the series follows.This is is an exercise in getting an audience in and then simply selling ad time. Sorry, spoiler alert.

ElessarAndurilS Heroes started off great with a lot of potential, but as the seasons progressed it lost its way. I find that the episode "Villains" in Season 3 is a great place where we see the manifestations of much of what went wrong with the flow of the shows story lines and its writing. We start off with the human race at the brink of an evolutionary breakthrough, people who have a set of genetic characteristics in common who start developing super human traits giving them the ability to be super human. As such they can use those powers to do good or evil. Of course even us regular people are faced with the same thing, we don't have to be able to fly, move things with our minds, control others actions or have any other super human capabilities to be evil or good. From the beginning of time we have had the good guys and the bad guys, Heroes just introduces us to a point in time where they do so with special powers. Kind of a ripoff of x-men and definitely borrowing from marvel and their collection of heroes and villains. The problem with the show was captured in that episode because as our time traveling hero goes on an unguided spirit walk (which is never explained why him and only him gets slammed with this because of not taken a guided one) and takes us back in time to when those with the super powers made the critical decisions in their lives to do good or evil. But in the episode they go back a various amount of time in the lives and don't bother to cross check with the story that has happened to date making the events of the episode conflict with the story to date. For example, Sylar is taken back a year to when he stole his first power starting his path down the evil serial killer of super humans to collect their powers so he could have the ultimate arsenal. Problem is a year earlier he was already an established serial killer being a pain in the FBI's butt. Take this and compare it to the show and you have a summary of the problem with the story, it lost its way. Story lines aren't just non-linear and disconnected they lead nowhere coming from somewhere that looked to be interesting but along the way threw in so much junk that by the time we get to the end of season 3 you don't really care anymore. There are no real good guys who are saving the world and fighting bad guys. There are a group of people who are dysfunctional with super powers who keep changing sides and on the way the set of story lines they are important to. The show could have been great, an x-men series but with consistency. But instead it lost its way. I liked the show and thought it had great potential, just potential that got squandered. With Heroes Reborn I was hoping things would go a better way, but after 10 episodes I doubt it. To much of a disconnect from the original series, no bothering to close off any (not asking to resolve everything, but they could have at least handled a few of the group from the original gang to bring some continuity). But this is about Heroes. A show which lost its way. I see so many shows with great potential that are written well and have a great story just getting dropped these days (in the Sci Fi genre at least). Here we have a show that could have been great, started great but lost its way. Some people just don't learn their lessons. Worth watching on Netflix but by the end you'll stop caring. So when you reach that point before the end save yourself the time and just stop watching because they aren't going to fix anything. It just gets further lost.

TvTobbe This must by far be the worst butchering of a TV series ever. It is almost impressive how they totally trash a tremendous show along the way until only a burning wreck remains. The writers responsible should quit their jobs and live in shame for the rest of their lives. This is a painful display of inconsistency and incompetent writing. I was actually excited when I heard about "heroes reborn" but now that I have just finished s4 I am not so sure anymore. Maybe I will watch it out of pure curiosity and I am telling myself that it can not get any worse. This show desperately needs Hiro to go back to the start of s2 and bitchslap everyone around the writingtable.

mostro619 Zachary Quinto and Jack Coleman, in my opinion, played their roles exquisitely. All of the actors did a fantastic job, but the characters Noah Bennet and Sylar set the mood for many of the often dynamic moments of the show's intensely addicting endings. I honestly think that during Heroes Reborn, Mr. Kring should strongly consider keep putting pressure on Mr. Quinto by gently persuading him into joining the project. Perhaps an award that I believe, rightfully so, should have been handed to Mr. Quinto after the first season ended. I know I am years late in the review, bit my family and I are huge fans and unfortunately we never got the chance (for monetary reasons) to attend any events where the cast made an appearance. That and the fact that we started watching the show just right after the last season ended. We didn't know how much of an impact it would have on our psyche. Kudos, Mr. Kring!
