I think Heroes is a good portrayal of psychosis and how the government tries to eliminate us from existents. And for that alone I think it's great.

[...] This comic pretty much sums up my feelings on Heroes lately. [...]

The reason why Season 2 started to suck was because of the writer's strike…just like how many of the other shows started to suck during that strike

That's very true. I guess it's just the best thing around, for that genre anyway. Still, I wouldn't want to give it up… unless they actually made an X-Men TV show. That would just be the bee's knees.

There was potential after season 1, people still in love with it after absolutely no character or plot development in two seasons are just too in love with the genre to ever give up on it.

Heroes has become damn near the worst show on Television. There. I said it.

Totally spot on! I loved the first season but the last two have been tired retreads with totally nonsensical character and plot inconsistencies. I can deal with plot holes but the seemingly random character transformations make my eyes spin in their sockets.

"I'm not dead anymore! Also, I'm evil!" Hahahahaha!

I stopped watching it because of the very things the comic mocks. I watched parts of it last Monday and can honestly say its gotten worse. Characters aren't even making realistic decisions anymore.

That little girl in the last panel is creepy as hell. I vote she comes back in future creepy HE comics.

I thought S1 was great – but let's be honest, the writing (or lack thereof) was on the wall in that finale. Nikki, stop beating on the bad guy no single one of you can defeat and try to administer help to you a gunshot wound your training of a stripper is perfect for!' was awful as was Hiro's convenient time shuffle. All to get Peter to blowed up.
Since then the writing has struggled a lot. I don't know if they fired writers post season 1 or if they stopped/started doing drugs but last season was very painful (I'm sorry, the wonder Twins added almost nothing to the arc – why are we following characters for hours on end when we barely see the people we learned to care for in S1?).

This season has been better but it feels panicked – parts (like Mohinder) are just wastes of time and some (like Sylar's emotional volatility) don't seem to be things the show wants to commit to. Like they lack the BALLS to have Sylar good b/c he was so popular as a bad guy.

In sports writing, they call it 'playing from behind'. When a team is way behind and scared they cannot come back from a deficit, they panic and try to force to many things, ultimately failing. Heroes feels like they are doing that – like they are panicked they lost us and face cancellation, and are just throwing everything against the wall at once hoping to God at least one thing works, but hurting it all.

Heroes needs to take risks and COMMIT to them. Let Sylar be good. Take that risk. Go full bore evil with Mohinder (for goodness sake do SOMETHING useful with the guy). Have
someone big die. But commit to SOMETHING and stop waffling, afraid you'll lose us. Cause you are anyway.
