One thing I've been trying to do since the first season is not compare it too much to later seasons.  I know that's a natural thing to do, but I still enjoy the characters even if the peril doesn't seem as big sometimes.  I thought they did some new and interesting things this past season.

I guess that's true and on that basis I've been enjoying the series thus far. Maybe this last episode is just a little slower than what went before. Hopefully, it will pick up just a little more as we head on to the end.

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.

I believe the show could do with a bit of a house cleaning. Some of the characters are getting a bit stale for me. Specifically, I'd like to see Sylar killed off for a season or two. Claire could take a break for a while as well. That's just me though.

I agree that Claire's had way to much screen time for what she had to do this season, even though she and her dad are my favorite characters?

Who would you like to see pushed into the main story of next season?  Anyone we haven't seen in a while you might want to see more of?

How about West Rosen Claire's ex-boyfriend who could fly? Or maybe Molly Walker or the guy who could breathe water Alex Woolsey? Perhaps we could find out what happened to him after Claire saved him from Danko's agents.
Plot idea: Have Noah Bennet draw together some of the most powerful of whole lot of heroes and villains with the express purpose of tracking down and eliminating Sylar once and for all. Perhaps have them succeed after an epic battle.
Inject some fresh faces and new energy into the show. I'm starting to rant- sorry.

Feathers

Do you really need anyone more than someone with Hatian powers to track down and neutralise Sylar?

The problen is, what do you follow that up with in order to kill him?

(I won't volunteer who I might like to see - they're probably in the back half of this season.)

Yep, the Haitian was the first character I thought of, but if he became involved there wouldn't be an epic battle. If Sylar were going out for good, I'd like to see him go out with a bang instead of a whimper. Again, that's just me.
Another plot idea: A mysterious influence makes it's presence felt among some of the heroes. Eventually it becomes apparent that it's alien in origin, possibly having something to do with everyone acquiring super powers.

Hmm, I should probably lay off the coffee for a bit. :)

Just got to the end of this series and I have to say that it picked up a little in my view. I'd be quite happy to see it come back after that.

Yes, the actual ending of Samuel was a little bit of a damp sqib but overall I was happy at the end.

It was alright. Not great, but alright. The problem I have is that each episode is too stand alone with not enough overlap of characters storylines between episodes. It's as if they assigned each episode a seperate writer and locked him/her up away from the others.

examples of this lazy writing.....

We need Mohinder for this episode. Bring him in at the beginning....does his thing.....disappears for 4 episodes. Does it again and leaves the show.

This episode we need Peter to be a healer for the last 5 minutes.....introduce Claire on a casual visit. Peter takes the power uses it at the end of the episode. Next episode he needs to fly at the end....introduce Nathan...power taken...used in last 10 minutes....next episode he needs to run quickly to someones aid.....oh look....hjere's Edgar or whatever his name is....!!

Each individual episode works....but they do not slot together in an ongoing story ark very well. Everything is just too coincidental. And how come every season we get every hero from series 1 and a couple of new comers. All new comers will either die or disappear...never to return as a main character!!

This series has ended in such a way that we can have a very strong season coming up.....if it gets another. If they set it 5 years in the future with some sort of catastophic event having occured leaving behind desolation, and then do the whole series as a flashback for each character leading up to the catastrophy. The characters would only come together at the end for the massive challenge...whatever that is.

But I suspect it will be more of the same!!

Feathers

That's true but it doesn't make it 'bad'. I guess lazy is a good description.

I think that problem is manifest just as much between series (sorry, seasons!) as between episodes, but there it's much more jarring

By the way, you've reminded me, what did happen to Mohinder?

...for all my critique though, whenever I was sat down actually watching it, I always found myself really enjoying it!!

It's still got something about it....

So NBC axed the show....

I've read in a few places that there is hope of another season on the strength of their international appeal and DVD sales.  Or that they may do a movie to wrap it up.

Thoughts?

Rico

I'd love to see a 2 hr. or 4hr. wrap up.  Lots to still resolve.  It would be too bad to see the show just fade away.

Feathers

I don't know...which season will they wrap up?

While I've enjoyed it, as we've said before each season runs off at such a tangant to all that's gone before that it takes an effort to bring the whole lot together into a coherent picture.

If they go for a movie, I think they'd be better off making it as standalone as possible. I think my ideal would be a 'where do the powers come from' if such a thing has even been decided.

Well, they would most likely follow up after the end of the last season.  Especially with the big announcement Claire had at the end of this past season.

Feathers

I only watched that two weeks ago but had forgotten it already!

(Too much good TV and I'm still watching BSG season 4 as well as all the new stuff.)

Yes, that would also be a suitable topic to persue.
