Why’s it gotta be about Lost? Leave my show alone! :)

This series has sucked eggs for years now. Kill Sylar, Parkman, Claire, the blond water nymph, the little boy from season 1, and introduce a big bad. Then end the series on a high note.

PS: Hopefully Hollywood has learned after Heroes and Lost that Jeph Loeb is like safetyglasses and acid floods. They do. Not. Help.

I don’t want to see Mohinder set free. They can keep him on this sinking ship as long as they’d like. Hiro may as well bite it, since his time travel powers became the series’ undoing–more a crutch than anything, and every possible time travel plotline has been worked to death.

He was a fun anchor for the fanboys in season 1, but now last I checked he was portrayed as little more than an idiot manchild.

I don’t think Nathan’s the death Heroes is talking about. That’s too easy. I also think that Hiro dying is too easy.

BTW, I don’t think Adrian Pasdar “looked bored” I do think that there is much better work out there for him to cut his teeth on, but I’m not seeing him just strolling through this role. He’s on the top of the actors who have been on this show.

“Crap shoot” indeed.

Surprisingly, I still like Claire & Bennett…

They probably would be better off just rebooting with almost all new characters.

I’d put money on Mohinder if I thought the show could live without his pendactic narrations. Beyond that, it’s really a crap shoot. In watching the first three seasons, I’ve seen every character devolve into a whiny, self-serving pissant, and can find little reason for ANY characrter to survive moreso than another. I think the bravest think the show should have done would have been to have a different core cast with each season. From season one, the arc for that whole group should have ended indefinitely, and focus should have moved on to other people with abilities. Having to be continually subjected to the melodrama of characters like Peter, Nathan, Claire, and Bennett, and Sylar, are what really killed this show’s momental early on. Things got stale really fast midway through season two.

Killing Nathan wouldn’t be much of a shocker, seeing how he’s technically already dead like you said.

I’d dearly love to see Parkman and Hiro (sorry Masi Oka) put out of their misery.

As an actor, Zachary Quinto deserves to be set free to move on to better things but then you lose the best character on the show (arguably).

It’s problematic because they have no “new blood” to shift the focus to. (They introduced a ton of new characters in the Villains arc and ZERO of them stayed). So if you kill someone boring, nobody cares; but if you kill a good character you have a big void.
