Heroes sucks?

Just saw this interesting article at EW (which was one of my favorite magazines, but I can't do weeklies anymore):

'Heroes' Creator Apologizes to Fans

It spells out why - according to some - Heroes has been sucking lately. I have to say I don't agree. I do agree with some of the points that Tim Kring makes - the Japan theme was too long - some of the new characters weren't introduced well - but shoot - Heroes on a bad day is still twice as good as normal TV.

But perhaps this is a good sign - if the creator promises a better Heroes - and I'm already enjoying the heck out of it - it just means even more good TV!

Robert Owen's Gravatar I've enjoyed every episode this season... I do think the "Japn" sequence was a little long but that is about all.. It, in my opinion, has surpassed Lost by leaps and bounds and I think it to be the best show this season... Until BSG returns. ;)

Will's Gravatar I reckon he's pretty much spot on. I loved the first season, and second seasons can often be harder. It's still be good TV, but not a patch on season 1, and it's pleasing to see that he has identified the reasons behind that. I reckon it bodes well for season 3.

pizzy's Gravatar Heroes has one of the coolest premises, yet some of the sloppiest, no, absolutely asinine writing ever. The writing has no respect for the viewer, with so many loop holes that they eventually hang themselves.
