    I though Season was brilliant, season two was good but couldn't follow up season one's success. Watch it and make the mind up yourself

    In my opinion
    Season One 9/10
    Season Two 7/10
    Season Three ?/10

    Too many if you ask me... None of them were particularly fleshed out in Season 2, I hope they add more details to them in Season 3...

    Yep, it's quite entertaining.

    It does kind of annoy me though that virtually every plot could be resolved in about 30 seconds if it weren't for Hiro apparently forgetting that he essentially has God Mode.

    Too many if you ask me... None of them were particularly fleshed out in Season 2, I hope they add more details to them in Season 3...
    I think it's partly due to the season being cut short due to the writer's strike, so plots which were supposed to last 22 episodes had to be resolved in 11.

    I was fascinated by the show's first episodes in Season one. I managed to endure the whole season, but by season two, I was burnt out on all the different characters to try and remember. Haven't watched it since.

    I reckon Mohinder is turning into the...

    Cockroach-man. His abilities shown thus far (agility, clinging to walls, enhanced strength) are characteristics of the cockroach. Plus the Cockroach has been a prominent figure in the show in the past, we always seems to see it sometimes.

    Same here, time travel made it much, much more confusing... I still get the basics though. Anyone have any guess on what's gonna happen to Sylar, the revelation at the end of episode 2 is quite shocking...

    Actually that particular plot device is used quite often in superhero stories. To varying effect. That Peter and Sylar's powers are so similar it really wasn't that shocking.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    As for what's going on. At the start it shows a "Days of future past" (plug that into Wikipedia for an explaination) type future for the heroes from Nathan telling the world about them. Hiro sees a future where that formula (which gives people powers or I miss my guess) causes much badness.

    The director and crew had given many hints about it in the past.

    What Hiro saw in the future could also be a result of Mohinder's experiments which could give power to anyone, but it's much more likely that the half of the formula contained something that could 'destory' the world. If I were Hiro I would seriously just go back to the past and asked his dad what that formula was all about, I'll ask what power his got too, I always wandered what ability Kaito possess.

    As much as I love Heroes. I loved the 4400 far more.

    It also seems to reek a bit of the storyline of the later seasons of the 4400. What with Mohinder developing abilities himslef (cough* Dr. Berkhoff *cough*) and then the whole race to prevent the spread of the abilities formula

    Loved Season 1, liked Season 2 less but didn't mind it as much as most. So far (admittedly after one week) Season 3 is exasperating, but I'll give it time.

    I grow increasingly tired of the various apocalyptic scenarios that are introduced early on and are foiled near the end. I think the writers should take the story in more interesting places, if you ask me.

    Ugh, why can't they just get rid of some characters and focus on who's left? I'm looking at you Maya!

    Also Peter, Sylar and Hiro are so overpowered, it makes it difficult to build suspense or suspend disbelief.

    I'll keep watching but. . .

    Can't help but to think the same here.

    Sylar and Peter are overpowered yes, but the whole time-space manipulation is just too annoying. Hiro is one of my favourite characters but his ability just kinda of makes the whole plot... sort of much more confusing, too many changes in the future and past

    As for the stolen formula, can't he just teleport himself back in time before he opens the safe and tells himself not to do it, or something like that.

    Didn't Mohinder find the method which pretty much does the same thing as the formula?

    i tried watching the first 2 episodes of the series, but couldn't get into it. to be frank, i thought it was barely mediocre at its best. though, i don't watch much in the way of network tv. did it get any better (acting/stories) after the first 2 episodes?
    now i'm here, and history is vindicated.

    Just seen the preview of episode 4, seems that it's Mohinder's findings that gave people powers not the formula. While Sylar seems to have a big change in the future.

    The storyline remains the same, I'll have to watch for while to decide for that.
