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.

    • 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.

    • Yeah I just took it as the life Marlena truly wanted and needed started with John that day.  She lived a life before with loves and happiness, but found her soul mate in John.  Besides, I don't expect Marlena to get into semantics of her previous loves with her husband that clearly has little time left. And, yes, @j swift in Salem you just say Happy Anniversary whenever you multi time married friends decide what day they want to celebrate it lol.
    • May 21, 1990 was CBS Monday comedy finale night. Major Dad season 1 finale, Newhart series finale, Murphy Brown season 2 finale, Designing Women season 4 finale. The comedies that were in the 1989/90 Top 10 had their season finales earlier. April 23-29, 1990: Empty Nest April 30-May 6, 1990: The Cosby Show, A Different World, Cheers, The Golden Girls May 7-13, 1990: Roseanne May 14-20, 1990: The Wonder Years
    • I understood it very differently as well. I wouldn't have piled on, but @janea4old and I were clearly composing our posts at the same time (great minds think alike, and fools seldom differ). To me, she was saying that their love was an awakening.  Obviously, she loved Roman and their twins, as well as Don.  But, John revealed something to her that she had never seen before.  I actually think it is a lovely, and very optimistic, idea to think that one's third marriage could be special because you met each other at a specific time in your life. Not to be crude about the departed, but John was trained by the best, and he rocked her world.  Think about it, before Kristin met him, she was just a mild-mannered social worker.  And< I doubt Roman and Kate are doing whatever Doc and John did with those strawberries and cream.  If we translate soap dialogue into reality, that is probably what Marlena meant. Of course, John was only her third husband if you don't count Eugene and

      (aka the husband nobody mourned).  If you choose that definition, John was also her 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th husband.  However, I believe it was @carolineg who reminded us that in polite society, friends just say Happy Anniversary, and don't mention the years in between.

    • disagree on all counts To me it's obvious that what Marlena meant was that she was already a complete person within herself before meeting John; but after meeting John her life blossomed to a new level she hadn't known before. I don't think she was bound to John as back and forth caretakers. I think she and John were true equals. Roman loved Marlena in his own way but he was somewhat patronizing at times.
    • I agree that she looks good.  I wasn't slamming her, her age or her looks in my last post.  I was just commenting on the fact that her wardrobe and hair gave me Susan Sullivan/"Dharma & Greg" vibes, lol.
