[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 4565339, member: 22622"] I'm sorry, i only meant to highlight a comment (and that said that heroes was like a comic book my bad) but your'e absolutely right. What i was trying to say was in a graphic novel with a beginning and an end, you can have heroes who have amazing powers like power absorbtion and not worry too much about nurfing them, justh having villians that can challenge them. But what you cant have is a contious series with a hero who can auto take any power he comes in contact with and not expect him to be more powerful than any villian he comes across. This and time travel are typical BBEG abilities. YOu're right, the writers of heroes wrote themsleves into a corner, having a great first season (the graphic novel) and not knowing where to go from there. Thus the heroes with the most extrodinary powers are treated as being total idiots. Another problem was that the heroes are stuck with characters with very very basic powers like flight. Fight is usually a basic ability of a hero, so it seems so forced when they constantly try to maneuver ways to make flight "viable." And, because it seems that everyone in the heroes universe has the "warp" ability and always know where to find who they need at the right time, flight (and to an extent instant teleport) are only used as huge plot devices and comes off as forced. LIke i've said before heroes is one of the better scifi shows on television, a remnant of its former self, and my digust is more or less like a guy watching something he enjoys head to cancelation city. So its difficult for me to just smile and nod at the horrible paths that will prevent a 4th season. [/QUOTE]
