I keep pushing that button, Michael. I really want the show to be awesome, but they keep not doing it. There’s only so many times I’m willing to push the ‘belief’ button before I finally decide my finger is quite sprained enough, thank you very kindly. I’m beginning to lose patience…

I also thought that the running start Sylar gave Hiro was a big hard to swallow. Its not like he didn’t know what the little guy was going to do, its only been foreshadowed and prophesied about a dozen times.

Even still, I like this show and am willing to push the “I believe” button several times during each episode. I hope they dont fall prey to the same writing brainfart that BSG’s team did this past season, though that seems inevitable whenever ANY network gets hold of a show that’s a hit.

[...] sfsignal didn’t like it either, and shamus writes really didn’t like it. That’s some harsh words! I mean, I don’t think the writing [...]

Yeah, I kept waiting for them to do something. For people who are supposed to be exceptional heroes, they all looked pretty ordinary in that fight.

The only part I liked was Simone’s father. That was interesting, it let you have a bit more knowledge on some of Linderman’s group.

That shouldn’t have been done on a finale though. That would have been great a few episodes ago when things were going slow.

Final fight was horrible. Claire should have gotten hurt, because you know what? It would have looked cool to see her get thrown into a building, just to get back up again. Hiro should have teleported or stopped time a little bit. Peter and Syalr should have been duking it out. Peter should have gone invisible, or something.

Oh and the teaser for throwing Hiro to the past was horrible. No one cares about that. We only want to see the present day drama. The entire show worked because no one wants to see New York get blown up. We were on a time table. I could care less what happens in Ancient Japan.

I’m glad Nathan’s dead, but his coming in the nick of time to say a cheesy speech and then flying Peter out of there was lame. Peter coulda done that himself.

Jessica/Niki should have been doing more in that fight. She’s got freaking super strength! Micah and Molly should have had a little bit more room to show their powers. They are some of the best characters on the show.

So much potential, but like a couple of his heroes, Kring failed to stop the bomb from detonating on his season finale.
