I think we can all agree on many things about "Heroes". What started off like an eagle with wings soaring through the air from Volume I to slowly transforming into a crawling lizard, gasping for life --
- This show has lost it's originality.
- It's a merry-go-round every week.
- Does any MAIN character truly EVER die? (i.e. Nikki/Tracey, Nathan, Peter, Hiro, etc.)
MORE: This is just a show running in circles chasing it's own tail! I don't know if this show can be saved at all but I would speed up the pace a little bit and throw out some things and quit going back to old plots/storylines. Start introducing new characters, different and exciting stories. How many times is Nathan going to die? We've seen him save Peter as the bomb then healed. We've seen him get shot and supposedly die. Now this? What about Peter? Get his freakn powers back! Seriously, Sylar's a good guy, then he's not. Then he's good, then he's not. Angela is Sylar's mother which makes Peter/Nathan Sylar's brother. Then he's not. QUIT zig-zagging all over the place. Season one was amazing because it had ONE true plot and we all know that famous line -- "Save the cheerleader, save the world." Granted, season one's ending or Volume I, whatever, it was a little underwhelming and I think THAT is where the origin of the problem is; was towards the end of Volume I. No, they can't fix that but they had better start making some changes and quit re-hashing BS, predictable story lines and poor character development. Can we actually see at least SOME characters doing something heroic for a change? Maybe if there weren't so many characters and multiple plots they could actually push this show forward and regain their young demographic viewers. I've only watched the show casually since midway through Volume II. I'm afraid if Volume V is just as bad as IV, III, II, this show is going to be canceled and they'll be allowed to finish out Volume V but the show will be rushed/forced to have some kind of final end to it all.
I wouldn't mind seeing some characters stories coming to an end, the villains causing tragedy meanwhile the heroes compelled to involve themselves in heroic acts. One of the main disappoints for me is Hiro. TO ME Hiro/Ando has gone no where. It's like a broken record, or, SSDD each episode! Hiro is such a pansy, too! All talk, no show. That's all he is and that's all him an Ando have done since we were first introduced to the characters. The only real intriguing characters to me have always been The Petrelli's and Sylar. Claire is all right but she complains/whines too much and the whole relationship with HRG or "Daddy" is just too much for me to handle anymore.
I don't have high hopes for Volume V, I'm just waiting for when the white flag is thrown up and the show becomes a figment of our imaginations. This show truly had lots and LOTS of promise from Volume I. How can we all forget Isaac the painter, the bomb, Peter/Sylar both seeing the future/painting it, trying to stop one another. THAT was epic/awesome. The characters finally clashing in the final episode (however it was very, very underwhelming.) Was I expecting a Dragonball Z type of fight between Peter/Sylar? No. But I expected much, much more.
It appears to me that maybe this show is headed towards the future from Volume I episode Five Years Gone. Still, to this day, that is my favorite episode. Now, if they can somehow build off of that premise, then maybe, just maybe this show can be saved. And believe me, I'm hoping for nothing BUT that!

Nathan aka Sylar finaly realizes he is in reality Sylar and will start taking advantage of his position. While in the process taking away powers from other "specials". And one of the new specials this upcoming season has to have the power D.L. from season 1 had. And....well the rest we saw on the episode Five Years Gone but with some minor tweaks.
