Tim Kring wants you to know he's sorry. Sorry that this season of Heroes isn't all that it could be. However, he's making sure that the second half of the season is going to be much better. The current volume of 11 episodes will end on Dec. 3rd, and has been rewritten to make it seem more like a season finale, so that Kring can clear the slate and start again, the way that fans would want, according to an article in Entertainment Weekly.
Kring acknowledges that the romantic angle between Claire and West and the one with Hiro in feudal Japan ran too long and were a little awkward for the tone of the show up to that point. He also said that the big story lines should have started sooner, and that introducing new characters should have been a function of other characters' story lines.
Personally, I think this season of Heroes is pretty good. Yes, it's a little bit on the slow side, and it's taking a while for the story lines to develop, but if there was a cataclysmic, season-changing event in each episode, it would be equally boring.
In any event, why not judge for yourself by watching the show right here on G4 on Saturday nights at 10PM, and then joining in with the analysis with The Post Show at 11PM?

Oh well yet more need of us Americans to have everything handed to them on a platter instantly. Long live instant gratification!
I really enjoy that it isn't all life-threatening drama and I'm sad that the new characters from this 1/2 of the season won't be coming back. I really liked the muscle mimic powers of Micca's cousin and the maya and brother thing could have been interesting (though i felt that wason't going to really last... 1-shot powers seem to be that way).
Here's to hoping the real mid-season finale will be a DVD special ike the original pilot (now that was cool).
I also don't know what this "drop in ratings" thing is because i know at least 15 people that i got hooked on the series and 5 more who have maxed their netflix time catching up... I guess since they haven't actually gotten to season 2 they, and others doing the same, don't count.
:)
Just my two cents.
I am ready for everyone who sees the future to die so that there isn't this gigantic deus ex machina going on EVERY season.
On a side note does anyone else think that Adam could be “Adam” meaning agent 0, the first “hero” and all of the current heroes are related to him in some way. I mean he has been alive for 400 years that is a lot of time to um…….. spread his seed. He is kind of like a Highlander except as far as we know he can have kids.
not the same thing!! I get it, new york's gonna blow up. yippydoo.

The flying teenage guy picks her out from the crowd at school, just happened to be by her window when she cut her toe off, and he's already met Noah?
Am I supposed to believe this crap? Toss in the cheesy 'I can show you the world'-style flying romance and highschool pranks against the 'popular' kids. How cliche!
Everytime I watch a Claire/Boyfriend scene, I'm humming the theme to 'Greatest American Hero' to match the cheesiness.

Maybe it's just bound to be a Love / Hate kind of thing with this show. A lot of cool characters but with only an hour a week, it spreads itself a little too thin.
Almost feels like a cross of Runaways and the Watchmen. Eh.
