Wish I could fly like Superman

You know what kicks my ass about Heroes?
Aside from the writing, the characters, the killer plot twists, the geeky genre references, the actors and the general hottness of Suresh?
The constant implication that the writers know exactly what story they're telling and where it's going, and that I usually can't guess where that is.



They did the Dark Alternate Universe thing! And just like in the comics, everybody in the DAU is *fuckin' cool*. DAU Peter? Totally cool. Bitchen scar, Peter. WTF happened to Jessica? DAU President? Damned cool. Very efficient. And totally not who I expected. DAU Hiro? Swoony good. Especially that 'last page'.

And why the hell didn't Mohinder and Peter take Sylar out when they had him helpless? That's a *horror movie* trope, not a comic trope!

Has anybody heard if the 'three episodes left' is for real? Are they planning on finishing the story this season even if the show is wildly popular and sells lots of adtime?

Okay, I want to know, but I think I want to find out on the show. mrf. I'm glad to hear you're feeling enthusiastic about it, because I have been burned too often by shows with an amazing first year that should have just closed shop at that point.

Well, I can't say much about how well they're going to do it, but it does sound like they're going to solve at least one of this season's issues (having all the players in one playground made some of the pacing seem "off"). And I'm a sucker for back story... my favorite of the Vampire Chronicles was Queen of the Damned, purely because it had Anne Rice's version of the origin of vampires in it. So the plan for next season sounds pretty cool to me.
