I'm a huge huge fan of Henry Ian Cusick for his work in Lost, and was considering watching this show because it's on Netflix. But the trailers I saw for the show looked pretty lame. What do y'all think? Should I give it a try?

The way the show brought Alex and Danielle together, and then killed them both - are HIGHLY disappointing IMO.

I find it interesting that your personal experiences make it hard for you to accept the deus ex baby "miracle."

"Who were these japonies?"
"Jap-a-nese?"

The reason why Heroes's second season onwards failed is simple. The show was conceived to follow a different cast of lead actors each season. With former heroes slowly trickling in and out, here and there - when relevant. The show as a whole was supposed to go on with the effects of the mutants slowly effecting things…

I DO NOT consider character development episodes filler, keep that in mind. Like I said, I don't consider 98% of Lost filler.

Episodes like what exactly? And how do you mean?

Note: Just because something is filler doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. Sometimes "filler" self-contained episodes that are never ever referenced ever again, can actually be amazing. Specific episodes of Buffy, or Smallville, or Veronica Mars, or The X-Files fits this. (of course, these shows all ALSO had terribad…

For me, filler can ONLY be used to describe scenes that are utterly pointless in every possible, conceivable way in regards to the story as a whole. If NONE of the characters change whatsoever, NOTHING in the plot changes, NO mysteries or setting details are revealed or expanded upon, NO thematic or messages of the…

No fucking way. I will not argue about seasons 2-4 of Heroes, that is some of the WORST TV writing to ever happen.

Richard in general is super underwhelming, he did like five things in the whole show. hahaha The actor, and the whole internet's obsession with figuring the show out which usually meant trying to figure him into things, really made him way more memorable/likeable than he really is.

I feel like shows that have amazing endings are hated, shows with terribly mediocre endings are praised.

It's funny because I have a hard time viewing them as man of truth VS man of lies.

I trust you because you're a doctor ;) But what's a salt water rash?

Because we never physically see him actually use again, whereas in s1 we see him explicitly use drugs several times.

IT WAS VEGGIE BACON. GET IT RIGHT.

Nope, you're spot on. The Long Con is an episode that is BRILLIANT by itself, but disappointing in the grandscheme of the show because the character development and guns development don't matter at all.

I guess you could say, the episodes had situational nowhere closure. ;)

Yeah, making Ben the leader literally makes no sense as far as i'm concerned. I'm down with the show upgrading the role and making him important, but making him leader wasn't a smart choice IMO.

I think Charlie's actions in Fire + Water and TLC would've been made much more reasonable if Charlie WAS using.
