The show was running late and yet it ended just like that, switching to My Worst Enemy just like that.

The last part was Nathan talking to the President. No preview of the next episode or closing credits. I was watching the Rochester New York feed on NBC.

they showed a voice-over about them being fugitives, with them being hunted, bagged, and wearing orange jumpsuits and masks. someone said "we've caught the first one". presented it like it might bring more of the 'specials' together, in a unified way.

That happened to me last week, my DVR changed the channel with 3 minutes left. :eek:

I had to watch that part on the NBC website and again on the G4 network on Tuesday.

Okay, here's what happened after the scene in the car with the President:

To be continued...

- Ordinary People -
Scene in a taxi with Peter in the back, Mohinder driving, Peter asking Mohinder if he ever got the feeling he was meant to do something extraordinary. Mohinder says he used to, but it turns out he was mistaken.

- In 2009 -
Shot of Peter wearing Paramedic clothing, bad guys with shotguns, people walking with chains on their legs, and Claire holding her arms up

- They'll be Hunted -
Peter accusing Nathan, asking if he's just going to round them all up, just get rid of them. Shot of Tracy being surrounded by badguys with shotguns.

- They'll be captured -
Bad leader saying 'we've got the first one'. Prisoners with masks and orange jumpsuits being guarded by bad guys with shotguns.

- They'll need each other -
Shot of two blind-folded prisoners reaching for each other's hands in comfort.

- New season the Monday after the Super Bowl -

Nice recap. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't see much incentive for people to continue to watch the show with an ending like tonight and the preview of the next chapter. I will watch anyways, until it ends, mainly because there's nothing better to watch on Monday nights. It may be a different story if Heroes changes time slots of nights. If that happens, it's likely Heroes is on the tentative cancellation list.

I don't think they've done anything to get new viewers, but I think enough people will wonder what's going to happen next. They've fought each other, they fought the Company, they've fought Pinehearst, and now they'll fight the government. I think people will keep watching, as long as it develops. Season 2 was a little lost, and Season 3 did have plot issues, but I think its moving forward enough to keep folk's interest.

There is enough incentive for me, I love the show, it is my favorite series on TV right now.

However, Kyle XY will be back soon.

They did locally last summer. They had Sylar plastered on bus billboards. They had promoters in malls giving out Sylar paper masks.

Mind you, this is in Canada. Not sure what they did in the US.

Not sure if this is the place for this thread... But my DVR cut off the last few minutes. Last I saw was the three standing infront of Primatech on fire. Can anyone update me, and tell me what was on the preview for next year please?

Wonder if they're just trying to keep current viewers from jumping ship, and after that is taken care of, start trying to bring in fresh eyes. They'll need to show something iconic (i.e. "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World")

If you hadnt noticed the entire premise of Heroes is from the X-Men, and they acknowledge the similarities, hence Stan Lee appearing in S1. There is no plot thus far in this show that can't be related back to the X-Men.
