Heroes Season 3 Opinions

[Skoufis]

Personally I think that Dan, Jeff and Alex were far too hasty in dismissing season 3 and everyone who I've spoken to who enjoyed it up until season 3 is loving it so far.

Thoughts?

I watch the show every week but have no clue why. I'm sick of the "I have powers I have no powers, I'm good, no now I'm bad, no wait i'm good again. We need more people like us, no we don't. I'm a hero ORly? i'm a villian!" There are more flip-flops in this show then on the beach during spring break.

I agree on the power/no powers. Not so much on the good/evil. I think a lot of people want to watch and draw a clear line of he's good, and he's evil. Period, they fight. that's it. But honestly, that's not the case, even in real life. Some people join evil things to do good. Should we not forget Season 1 bomb? This season Angela and the Company don't look that evil. I don't think Nathan is really evil, just wants to get things done and sees a way of doing it with his dad's plan. Is Peter good? We only know he is fighting his dad because of the future he saw, which he thinks comes from his dad's plan.

The writers just need to keep it simple. Instead of trying introduce new powers and random people who are only there for one episode they need to focus on one character and have all the other characters exist in that world. It's like they sit in the writers room, come up with a cool power and then try and build a story around it. For example, the guy who could create black holes...why would they introduce a character with a new power and then kill him off in one episode? I hope the new writer who used to be on Pushing Daisies can breath some new life in this incredibly chaotic mess.

Heroes season 2 was pretty iffy. But the Writers' Strike was a good cop out for that. Season 3 has been terrible. I don't need anyone to be a definitively good or bad person, but I think actually keeping the character's decisions and actions are in line with the decisions and actions they've made previously. All of the character act OUT of character constantly. They suddenly change and that's a problem.

Heroes is a great idea but is being executed poorly. Season 1 was pretty good and had potential to turn into something great, but it hasn't.

I absolutely agree, what I want to see is the writers show who the 3-4 main characters are (appears to be Peter, Hiro, Claire, and Sylar), and have everyone else as support for them. If they want to divide them, show two clear sides (not necessarily good-evil) and keep switching to a minimum so it is a surprise/entertaining when it happens.

Heroes has potential, that's the only reason I'm watching it, that and I'm not really interested in anything else on Monday nights.

They give Hiro/Peter, two of the best characters the worst story lines ever. Cant we just see them kick major ass every week instead of losing their powers/being stuck in a place they dont know/having their memory altered?

[Skoufis]

Hmmm. Can't say I really agree with any of you, but each to their own.

What I find interesting is that so far only people who didn't/don't like it at the moment have commented.

It started off poor which I blame on them having to clean up last seasons mess.

It got steadily better.

Still has some problems, but I think it's more than offset by some really great stuff they've done overall this season.
