[QUOTE="Vocenoctum, post: 3922864, member: 2477"] Posting while distracted, so let me start from the beginning. There are good comic books, and bad comic books, their are "story driven" comic books, and "pulp" comic books. There are TV shows with careful plotting, or just thrown together. We can have TV shows with good dialogue or bad. So, I find it odd that Heroes seeks to emulate the worst parts of comic books. "No ones dead unless you see the body" is a staple of comics, sure, but just the pulp stuff churned out by people that regard others continuity as a chalk board rather than set in stuff. It's a BAD staple to emulate in a series about "humans dealing with the world as they learn about powers". By the same token, comic books are brief capsules of time, where plotting can take a year to play out, TV is longer episodes and shorter seasons. I expect that a relatively high budget, well reviewed show, would spend the time to think out their story arcs and plot and plan better than a comic book. It's disappointing to me that they can't live up to the standard they set mid season last year. I would simply expect to combine the best of comics and the best of tv's virtues into a show I can get behind, rather than seeing it fall apart. [/QUOTE]
