There are 7-8 episodes in the first 2 seasons that don't have anything to do with the main plot and alot of them are early in the first season so alot of people probably gave up on it, but the show is amazing right now.

How do you deal with the awful acting of the lead role?

Meh, disagree, but to each their own. I do think that the show is decent, aside from her (& Dr. Bishop).

Stop watching at the end of season 1. Seriously. Everyone here will agree. Pretend it got canceled after the first season. Season 1 is awesome. Everything after that is garbage.

Yeah, it's a big letdown but he can't very well watch all of season 1 except the finale... (Pretty unlikely he stops at the end of Season 1 as it is).

When you decide to keep watching and hit season 2, figuring that it can't be that bad. Just remember we warned you and it never gets any better. We all stuck with it in the hope it would return to glory. It doesn't and it's canceled now. Take advantage of our hindsight and just stop watching it.

If you want a show like Heroes that doesn't suck, though, try The 4400.

i think i stopped watching heroes during season 3 at some point. 2 was bad, but still was watchable and i had hope.

Forced myself to watch a couple of season 2 episodes only because of Kristen Bell.

I'm a fan of Survivor, and i asked this question in that thread because "Big Brother" always is mentioned and comes up in conversation, but that thread is like a zoo atm, so i got no answer...

Is it worth watching? Are there some seasons that stand out etc..

Thanks

Jesus is it necessary to say anything more about Heroes? Make a thread.

I win the heroes game I think. turned it off half-way through the finale and didn't look back

I am not a fan of sci-fi's though, which is a testament to how awesome the show was for a stretch

Yeah this show was very good, I stopped following it after doing some traveling, but like the first 7 or 8 episodes were all very good.

Thanks for the reminder, I've gotta finish that one off.
