Solution 2: Make the Heroes smarter.

Hells yes please. I swear, 7 of them have 6 brain cells between them sometimes. You're superheroes with superpowers people. USE THEM PLEASE.

Yeah...why doesn't Hiro go back in time again, I don't recall anything bad realy happening to him when he did.  Hell I think the only time he was even able to get with women was when he traveled back in time.

Where's the intelligence superpower when you need it?  And why introduce a power to Gabriel if he's NOT FRAKING USING IT?

Syler knows how to set the clock on the VCR.
Syler knows how to use Dial soap.
Syler knows the 3rd use of Christmas lights.

I had one of those moments where I said to myself out loud. "Wow. That was just plain bad acting."

I tried to get into Heroes.  I'm already hooked on Supernatural, and I've heard lots of good things about Heroes from some of my friends, but I just couldn't get into it.
I think the problem is that there are so many characters that have to be included in each episode that you have to watch 10 bloody episodes for the story to progress at all.  Each of the first few episodes felt like just a reminder of who and where each character was and what they could do.  Aside from that, not much of interest to me.

Hehe, not sure how much more I will be able to watch this show.  The acting (especially Peter's aggressive whininess) and character stupidity is starting to get too annoying.

Show had/has so much potential too.  :(

I'll keep watching it for a while more. Something can be done with the Arthur & Gabriel storyline.

[spoiler]And Matt *gasp* actually used his power cleverly. Except for the part where he's not catching her double-crossing him, that is.[/spoiler]

No, it mostly makes me wonder IF something will ever happen this episode.   :pout
