You can’t let facts or the laws of physics get in the way of the story. Especially in a Heroes story. ---

Is it just me, or has the acting\* suddenly turned awful the last two episodes? Also the plotting. Teleport boy’s angsty dialogue was terrible but his acting was bad enough that I was about to quit watching. And…did I miss something? Since when do Katana Girl and Ando Jr speak fluent English? I’m still watching but it seems like the quality of the series is declining with each subsequent episode. \*Except for the guy who plays Noah ---

Adequate in some ways, but mainly just another disappointment. With a limited run, it should have been better. Nice to see Hiro again. It took way too long to get to him. Is that the end of katana girl? ---

No, I’m pretty sure that twoo-wuv with Ando-Junior will bring her back. ---

So of course if I’m gonna groom somebody to save the world and every single human being on it, I’d never actually go and tell them what it’s all about; instead, I’d just make uselessly vague allusions to destiny and the like, but keep all the important information to myself. No way there’d be any use in them actually knowing what the hell to do, how, and why in order to save the world, right? Plus, in the event of my demise, it’ll generate lots of utterly avoidable fake drama, that’s always a good thing. Yet still, I remain entertained enough to watch, and I’m curious where they’ll take the story; I just hope that, just this once, ‘limited run’ actually means limited run, and not ‘…but if it does well, we’re just artificially prolong everything to milk a few more bucks out of it, because you’re all suckers for watching anyway’. ---

Isnt it odd that whenever someone uses their powers, someone else walks in on them? :dubious: ---

So I actually thought they managed to tie that together quite nicely. Still, for the obligatory nitpick, clone guy’s ability even duplicates the bomb strapped to his chest? From nothing but an arm? How do the arm’s cells even know they’re supposed to create a bomb? And how is he not the richest guy in the world? Seems like all money he has on him would double whenever he clips his toenails… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/apparently-a-new-heroes-reboot-or-sequel-is-coming/681997.md?page=3)
