[QUOTE="Relique du Madde, post: 4544072, member: 42169"] It's not supposed to be funny, it's supposed to be tragic. Like it or not, I find the writers/producers treatment of minority characters appalling. It's like all of the compelling minorities in the Heroes universe have four fates: Death, or an unhappy ending (for the sake of drama or at least what the writers think could be considered drama), or being rendered into a buffoon or caricature, and/or being tossed aside and forgotten. You might say this isn't true in the case of Hiro and Ando since they were always comic relief characters, but does Heroes need comic relief? I think not. What about the Haitian? Unfortunately after all the character building he had in Season 1 he was rendered into a plot element this season. Sadly, Mohinder's character was assassinated along time ago and replaced with his idiotic doppelganger. EDIT: Then again, now that I think about it, I think the main problem with Heroes is that ALMOST EVERY CHARACTER seems to suffer from falling victim to those same "fates" with Lyle, Peter, Claire and now Sylar being the most extreme examples of this.
