'Heroes!'

"Heroes" is back tonight and many are considering this as a last chance for the show. It has burned a lot of people and they are giving it one more episode before they stop watching.

Me? Well, since the news that Bryan Fuller is coming back to the show came out I decided to stick around until his influence is felt. This new episode is No. 14 and Fuller starts with No. 19, so I might be stuck with five crappy episodes.

At least "24" is on at the same time so I have an alternative to sitting around picking my nose.

In some web surfing today I came across an interesting tidbit. The comics site Comic Book Resources does a regular thing where they host a Q&A with some writers/producers of the show. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=19804

I found this bit a little strange...

“When Hiro goes back and takes the catalyst upon himself, Arthur shows up shortly after and takes the catalyst from him, as well as his powers. My question is this: how on earth did Arthur know that Hiro and Claire had gone back in time, and that they were where and when they were? Is Arthur omniscient?”

This is actually something that we can tell you is going to be on the DVD. There was a scene where Arthur found Molly and stole her ability, using it to find Hiro and Claire in the past. However, the scene just seemed overwhelmingly, what’s the word? Disturbing.

So that's really an excuse to not make any sense and have a giant, glaring plot hole in the show? This just further proves my point that these people have no clue what they are doing. At all.

Not even the "Heroes" apologists can argue with that.

Go ahead, try.
