Superior ways to watch what?….sounds like he wants everyone to be brainwashed to believe that the show is actually good…I haven’t even seen the first season even though people said it was good. And now look how the show has devolved. Superpowers are cool and all and I love the X-men. But most TV and movies done about superpowers seem mediocre. EXCEPT of course Iron Man. RDJ is the shit!

I know how to watch shows other than on TV, but if it’s scheduled and I’m home, I watch it on the TV. I don’t want to be DL’ing gigs and gigs on a daily basis on my cheapest broadband plan

The TV version of Heroes has been very confusing this season, hopping back and forth between the past, present, and future like Lost — who, not surprisingly, “lost” even more viewers once they started jumping back and forth between the past, present, and future.

And speaking of jumping back and forth: Sylar is evil, then sweet, then angsty. And even the parents “jump” around: “Oh your parents are really your parents, someone else is your parent”. WTH?

And I miss the little boy, I think his name was Micah. They played up one show with him adjusting to his doppleganger-mom, then no more Micah. And I liked Micah’s aunt too.

My husband quit watching it a few shows into season 2, and we both loved it last season.

I believe I commented at the conclusion of Season 1 that they needed a character on the show whose special power was that he was not a fucking moron.

I don’t think I bothered with it after that.

I really wonder how much of that first season’s success was due to the jailbait in the cheerleader outfit. They certainly did get a lot of mileage out of that (save the cheerleader, save the world, remember?)

I like watching TV shows on my actual TV. I like the larger screen and the comfort of my bed.

I have just never watched “Heroes” because it looks like complete horseshit.

Good thing I got me one of those superior ways to watch, otherwise I would feel like such a dipshit.

Oh wait, I still haven’t watched it, mostly because I feel no real draw to it. Because from what little I have seen, this season is boring as hell, mostly for the reasons you linked to.
