I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. I watched the first few episodes and stopped. I found the show to be very lame. I decided, since everyone was speaking so well of it, that I would watch the season finale. My opinion didn't change.
What's so good about it? I don't get it. |

Well, everything after the first few episodes and before the final episode was great. |

Hmm. Guess I'll never know for sure. Have to take your word for it. |

Yeah. I saw the first ep and was like "meh" and didn't download anything until the first season was pretty much wrapped up. But once you sort of grok there's a story arc and lots of unknowns, you get into it.
Did the same with Lost. Damn it's great to basically watch a whole season of a show like that back to back without waiting a week for each new ep. |

I'm guessing that I wouldn't like the whole thing. Same with "Lost". I can just tell. |

If you dig superheroes at all it was a great season, with some minor story glitches, right up to the climax, and like a 15-year old on his first date, it ended abruptly, prematurely, and highly unsatisfactorily.
I guess that goes with the superhero comic-reading stereotype then... |

The finale was absolutely, off-the-charts lame. Just awful...
THinking back, the end of Lost season one is what a cliffhanger finale should be: it answered some questions while introducing new ones. The HEroes finale didn't really answer much and left me very uncurious about the next season.

| Possibly Peter couldn't fly off because he and Sylar can only use one power at a time, and his hands were full (sorry) with being radioactive. |

Whatever the answer is, the writers very obviously didn't explain it to us.e |

I am not sure that the "only use one power at a time" is valid... did Sylar not create snow and at the same time telepathically spin it 'round and round? That may be incorrect, but even so, if that is the case, it should have been clear to all of us now that they could only use one at a time.
How about future-Sylar, wasn't he using two powers at once? |

Right... so that theory is shot to hell. I can fully accept that Peter was so preoccupied that he couldn' control both. I jsut wish we had seen Claire approach him as he was going radioactive, skin peeling off like a rotten melon, gun in hand and then take him down. That would have been pathos loaded and rather sad.
But, they dropped the ball so we'll never see such a cool scene. |

| One interesting thing, in the comics it showed Claire coming out of her house after Ted had nearly blown up, as a walking skeleton. The TV show wasn't so graphic, so she just looked a little singed. |

The first power Peter Petrelli learned to mimic was flight.
Peter is of at least average intelligence and he knows that he can mimic powers.
Anyone with half a brain and a glimmer of self-preservation instinct would have suggested the "shoot me if I explode, it's the only way to save the world" strategy to Claire only after playing around a bit with the power of flight. Instead of "fall down, go boom," it would be "fly away, go boom." And then I'll regenerate. Yeah!
In a chiseled-chin "I'm here to be a good guy after all" sort of way it was nice for Nathan to show up and fly Peter away to explode. I guess it fits with TV execs' ways of thinking, but not that of fans. We have common sense, after all.
Fans everywhere are simultaneously disappointed and yet pleased with HEROES, for it has succeeded nearly on as many levels as it has failed. It truly is a comic book brought to the boob tube--so with it comes all of the inanities of TV, and all of the "hot or cold" quirks of comic books (like off-screen escapes from death). |
Maybe maybe not. I think the first power he learned was whatever his mother can do. He could have loads of powers and not know it.
Anyone else notice Stan Lee as the bus driver? When Hiro was leaving Ando behind...that was great. |

Yep, noticed that and then promptly pointed it out to my wife (I'll admit it I was laughing a bit excitedly) who just went, "Who?" And then when I explained said, "Ok." and went back to the living room. Koreans just can't appreciate Stan Lee!  |
