With my "it's a shame due to the potential it had" out of the way... I'm not much surprised, nor upset at its demise. The show went to shit so fast in Season 3 that I gave up on it. A show that I like, I'll stick with it through the down times unless it's so poorly received that I simply can't stomach the story anymore...
Which is exactly what happened with Heroes. |

I realize that there is suspension of disbelief in something such as Heroes, but a show has to adhere to its own rules of "physics" to keep some credibility. They tried to make it realistic, and then just got sloppy with it. It ended up being goofy with giant plot holes, and instead of at least taking the time to write out loose ends of stories that weren't going anywhere, they just hoped fans would "forget" about them and moved on. They had some really cool characters. Peter started out really cool, but then they realized that he was simply too powerful for the main hero, so they dumbed him down in season 3, but to the point that he was completely uninteresting. Peter's dad ended up being nothing and taken down in no time by Sylar, yet he was this "all-powerful" guy that went out without a bang. The Haitian may have been my favorite character from the show, and I don't even know what happened to him past halfway through Season 3. Again, a lot of promise, but poorly mismanaged. |

Never got into the show, but I figured a few things right off the bat.
1) Sci-Fi / Fantasy shows on major networks have never faired well. Cancellation was bound to happen. 2) This was an attempt to ride the sucess of Spiderman and X-Men...both franchises have died down already. Plus and I hated to say this but from what I've heard it got one good season under its belt and then started to fall apart. Never a good sign. A good season needs to follow with an even better season. Perfect example of this is Dexter...each season you think next season can't be any better...but somehow it is. And since season did not get better that means either one of three things...the makers had no thoughts beyond the first season, the makers gave up on the show after one season or the network lost interest after the first season. Sad really. I think the show might have done better on a lesser station like FX or USA or SyFy or A&E where they don't have massive budgets and have to rely on....oh whats the phrase good writing and good acting. Plus those lesser networks are much happier with less ratings than majors want for the major networks if the show don't debut in the top ten and STAY in the top 5 its on the chopping block for secondary channels their happy with in the top 50. |
