I don't know what side Noah is working for, and I have my idea's on who Rebel can be.

I have a feeling that Claire already knows who this person is.

At first I thought that it may have been Noah, but then he was there when she got a message, unless he was able to have the message sent to her at a certain time.

As for Sylar, they know how to kill him, but has anyone actually tried shooting him in te back of the head yet and then cutting of his head.

I started this discussion in the status threads but it seems better to move it here. I'm trying to work out...

What Happened to Heroes?

First, I'm not trying to be negative but this show used to be a-ppoint-ment television for me. I am a fangirl always looking for a new fandom. I have a Nathan Petrelli for Congress sign in my office. But now when I get around to watching it, I usually find one "cool" and five "WTFs" in a sea of "meh."

I know the writers strike did a LOT of damage but the show has hosed itself all by itself. I know the show is different from Kring's original vision and maybe he's never been able to synergize to two visions. That's where Brian Fuller was very helpful. I felt like he did a really good job of realizing what Kring was trying to do but Fuller can't seem to bring himself to stay and over the last year the show has let go of a lot of the original behind the scenes talent.

When Tim Kring apologized to the fans of Heroes for the suckage of S2, I was blown away. He'd heard the complaints and respected the audience enough to respond. (Just try to picture a soap showrunner doing that!) But know I feel like if he gave an apology for everything that's gone wrong since he'd give a speech that would run longer than Khaddafi's at the UN.

Exactly! I don't get Tim Kring doesn't bring the "heroes" together. It totally sucks when they have seperate storylines and don't interact. The show would be so much better if they became a group.

Tim Kring doesn't "understand" the comic book/superhero universe - he's not a fanboy. You need a fanboy to write a serialized show about superheroes.

Whatever. This show is done. This will be the last season. NBC's already shorten the amount of episodes.

I have emphasized many of the show's faults several pages back. Eric from Montreal partecipated too, I think, with several others. And the shows still suffers from the same kind of mistakes. I do not believe that Tim Kring ever went beyond season 1, if that. You all know he said in one interview he planned the shows 5 seasons in broad detail.

    • This is what kills me about the complaints that the show is moving too slow. I don't think any of the other soaps has revealed as much as BTG has in the same time frame. Not only are stories moving but it's rotating as well. Y&R has been teasing that Dumas character since February with no reveal in sight. B&B was one day for the majority of May with very limited storylines. GH had a strong final week of May but the storylines had been dragging for months prior to that. I appreciate that BTG doesn't focus so much on recapping and keeps the stories moving. I have anticipation about certain ones like Martin and Anita's secrets but I'm not worried about it because the writers have proven they will keep these stories moving at a strong pace.
    • John and Marlena's love story is over.

      As I started watching in 1993, and they became my favourite couple because of storylines like The Affair, Maison Blanche, The Possession, Aremid, and The Secret Room - just five straight years of amazing stories.  The funny thing is, in all of those stories, John and Marlena were never truly together, but I was fine with that because I knew how much they loved each other - Deidre and Drake just had so much chemistry and made it so believable.   Deidre was fantastic today, especially in that last scene where Marlena told John it was okay for him to rest now.  I agree with @j swift, that having a body for Marlena, and everyone else, to say goodbye to was the right choice, as well as just having Marlena there alone as John dies.   Marlena: John, I love you so…. John: I love you too, Doc. Marlena: I need you to listen to me.  You have put up the bravest fight I have ever seen. The thing is I….I know you’re weary, I know you’re suffering…..If you need to go, it’s okay. I know that you’re worried me, about the children….You have given us all the love we will ever need. We will always have you in our memories. We will always hold you in our hearts. So…it’s okay if you rest now. You can rest now.   Bo and Hope are my second favourite couple, so for them to be part of this episode made it even more special.  I loved the inclusion of Zack - in the flashback and in the family scene at the Brady Pub.  John dies and Bo wakes up.  Two great love stories intertwining and showcased (loved the flashbacks!) in today's very emotional episode.     Great recap @Bright Eyes  
    • Given the way both Lulu and Lucky are written I can guess.  Do Lulu and Lucky even speak?  Lol Liz is useful to prop one of Frank's pets when they are failing, I suppose. It's shame GH loves to do the opposite of what fans want. 
    • Lol. I understand. For me, it's just John and Marlena are the couple that introduced me to DAYS and Young Me had such a crush on him since I saw his attractive self at Maison Blanche. And whether I regularly viewed or not, I always tried to stay checked in to how they were doing. Also Drake always was a cool man in interviews so I know today's episode is going to hit where it hurts.   I know I will have to watch eventually. Work, life, and internet connection are setbacks without me stalling. And I can say that I'm stalling somewhat. At least...like GH episodes on my system...I have some time before they get deleted, but I'm going to be a sobbing mess. 
    • Oh no, not the blob!!

      he’ll talk more as you continue your viewing  it’s such a jarring transition in ‘93 to Courtland Mead with his hammy sitcom delivery
    • Frank does not care about them and resents having to write for at least one of them.
    • I’m watching it tonight. I’ve been watching the new episodes simultaneously as I catch up in May

      I had to see John’s send off in real time.

    • Thanks for the tip. I'm not even there viewing-wise yet and as I told my co-worker who grew up on DAYS today, I'm just not ready. So I know I'll be a mess when I get to the episode.    Love all of this.
    • People really forget the show started at the end of Feb.
