But I'm not that naive.  This show is going to be canned before season's end and its very difficult for the astute watcher to see such a great premise and show tank so badly and seem to go nowhere.  They write themselves into messes and attempt to clean it up with bigger messes. My wife said it best while she was discussing the show with a friend. "The show lost me when HRG, the supposed expert killer who we've seen hit targets that could have been impossible, not take a clear shot with a high power rifle, then chase someone with a high power rifle, then miss at near point blank range with a handgun."Once you realize that problem 2 (the inept HRG) is actually just a way for them to clean up problem 1 ( setting up a scene where one of your stars can not possibly survive) its hard to not be more irrate. It's like watching a Detroit Lions game, you start with a little faith that it will get better, watch how it completely tanks, and then find someplace to vent because you see the 0-16 season coming into view.  In this case, Heroes is on schedule to be canceled and it seems like the writers can't figure out how to write a credible superhero story anymore. If reading the complaints is peeving you off, do a serach of mainstream media.  We're geeks who are naturally drawn to the show, the mainstream media and 'real' people who they need to watch it are tuning it out and bashing it far harder.</blockquote>
