I have read all the articles saying my 3rd fave show (Smallville, Supernatural) had jumped the shark. I never believed it. Sure, I would admit to myself that last season was really bland, and the strike killed them, and I knew the super long layoff between new shows would hurt....
But this episode made me believe all that hype.
It was very bland, very rushed, and no real "wtf" moments that normally is on the show.
They lost their powers, I mean, whoopty doo, we all know they will get them back. So they rush a bunch of plotlines crammed into this episode to make as many cliffhangers as they could while the heros have no powers...
Mohinder needs to die, I could care less about him now. I loved him season 1 and 2, when he was always searching for answers... but now he is just stupid, is only being used to add a scientific element to the biology of the heroes, and has the worst plotline going (mutant bug? come on....) I had high hopes when this Mohinder arc started, but they are dragging it out waaaay too slow....
Hiro losing his memory for more than 1 episode? Again, dumb. He forgot everything, but suddenly he can use his powers at will, when it took him a whole season to master them the first time when he WASNT 10!
Shocking twist with Matt/Daphne right? Nope.... so she was crippled pre-powers, so what..... I am interested in their storyline for the most part, but this was just... dumb really. I guess what Arthur has always held over her head was that he could take her powers and make her a cripple again? Bleh
Syler - Elle, a forced out of nowhere relationship that is supposed to be interesting, a love life for our main baddy/goody, 2 mental problems forced together to be one psycho Bonnie and Clyde ripoff.... come on.... its not even interesting
The whole Claire/HRG crap is old too. Same ole fight for 3 seasons, "Im invincible, I can help" - "No you cant, ur my little girl, Im protecting you... wiat nope Im gonna run off again".... old, old old old old.......
Peter and all his powers, being hte main savior, was by far the most interesting story, so what do they do? Strip all his powers so that now he is just a whiney lil [MOD EDIT] like he used to be....
Sorry to seem so pessimistic, I have never posted a bad thread on one of my fave shows before. But my wife stopped watching this show after 2 episodes this season saying it bored her, I didnt see it, but now I do....
Crusoe, House, Mentalist, Crim Minds, Legend of Seeker, have all surpassed Heroes on my "Must DVR" list....

On a side note, Smallville has turned it around in a HUGE way, is better in its 8th season than it was ever been, and season 9 looks likely...
Hopefully Heroes can do the same
