I still think a solid head injury could take down Adam, Claire, or Peter.
Claire got that glass shard in her head and she didn't recover until it was removed.

I'm a bit curious about the assassination thing, but wondering if they'll just bring him back with the blood thing. It kinda takes the fear of death away when they have already brought two people back with little effort.

The one question in my mind is if the virus is truly destroyed. It seemed a little too easy.
Plus they time-travel thing always leads to infinite possibilities.

And... why would Peter trust Adam over Hiro?

Peter barely knows Hiro. Adam had months to brainwash him + he healed his brother.

yeah, I guess you're right.
I guess the whole part where Future Hiro visited him made too much of an impression on me.

yeah, kinda weak season but definately better than another CSI or a bad game show with a has-been comedian host. I really thought the Dominican bother/sister thing was quite lame and was really glad see her finally killed off....but then they had to go and inject her with Claire's blood. damn! Also Nathan got injected with Adam's blood, so he may still have healing abilities. hopefully season 3 is a better.

And don't forget Blonde chick might be dead.
The most worthless character of the whole show.
Think about it -- has anybody in her family actually made a difference on the show? No.

I'm sure this post will probably make someone angry and I should apalogize in advance

I'm surprised Heroes still has viewers. It caught my interest in its first season, but the last few episodes of that season started to show some problems and the season finale was one of the worst I'd ever seen on any show. I haven't even bothered with season 2 at all

And I keep hearing people say the show was better than Lost, but compare Lost's finale for last season to the Heroes first season finale and it made Heroes look like a show written by amateur, hack writers in my opinion.

One of things I hated about the first season was how they kept teasing a big epic encounter between Peter and Sylar and it never really happened. I don't like shows that mislead you. With the new Battlestar Galactica or Buffy or Angel, you expect awesome action to happen at some point or another and they don't dissapoint. It seems like a lot of shows now either don't know how or just don't want to spend the money to deliver a good action sequence. Smallville being another great example of this problem.

Course I know Heroes isn't just an action show, but I had some problems with the plot and characters too last season. There are a lot of things in the story that just don't make any sense at all. Like why exactly couldn't Sylar stop Hiro when he came charging at him with a sword from like a mile away in last season's finale.

Speaking of Hiro, I hate him. It's like they just try too hard to make him the loveable character. Hurley is like Lost's equivalent of Hiro, the character everyone loves, but it's much less forced. Hurley doesn't go around yelling cutesy crap like, "Flying man!!"or doing cheesy fighting game poses like the one Hiro did after (supposedly)killing Sylar. Hiro is annoying.

I also lost a METRIC TON of respect for the show runner when he recently went online and basically said, "everything about this season sucks, so now I'm just going to do whatever the fans tell me to do." If you need viewers to tell you exactly how to write your show, then you're in the wrong line of work.

The only shows on tv I'm into right now are the new Battlestar Galactica, Lost and Pushing Daisies. I'm seriously hoping that Joss Whedon can get working on Doll House too if this damn strike ever ends.

Okay, go ahead and flame me. I'm just expressing my honest opinion.

I'll agree with you there on most of the stuff.

However, Peter, Hiro, and maybe Sylar are the only characters I actually like. I won't deny that most of the acting and writing isn't that great, but I want to see where the story goes and I enjoy the concept. (Plus its much better than most stuff on TV).

LOST is still incredible, but it nearly lost me with the 13 straight episode of showing little more than Jack in a containment cell.

I guess I try to overlook Heroes flaws just so I can enjoy the good parts.

And yes, Pushing Daisies rocks. I've also been enjoying Journeyman, but I've heard rumors it might not continue.

It's not just a rumor, Journeyman episode 12 will be the last for the series. :( but at least i heard that this episode will answer most of the questions.

Well that sucks.
It was just starting to get good.
Rack up yet another great show to get canned before given much of a chance.
NBC is now the new Fox.

Yeah Journeyman was alright, that sucks.
Let my legs shake me to sleep, and don't wake me when I sweat on my sheets.
