User Reviews

heroes will be canceled

this is god awful. Another person on here said that they never leave reviews. i don't either. In fact, I signed up for IMDb just so I could complain about this episode.

I used to LOVE this series, now I doubt that I'll watch another episode. With all this who is good and who is bad stuff, its hard to care what happens. I can understand the existential questions its trying to raise and such, but its done in such a horrible, horrible way. Does EVERYONE need to switch roles?

did the writers write this an hour before the tapping? it reminds me of the kind of book reports I would write the morning the paper was due... when I hadn't read the book.

The plot is pointless, like the ramblings of a homeless crack head. the dialog is: clichéd. ringing false. just filler.

I seriously think someone let their high school student write this one... what happened?

TO THE WRITERS OF HEROES==== WE'RE NOT STUPID! stop giving us tripe or you're going to be canceled. call together a big meeting and FIX THIS!
