Okay, then tell me again Earthling, what exactly is your criticism of _Heroes_?

He already clearly outlined his position in post 11.

> Yeah, you’re saying “appeal to us 14-16 year-old girls who love American Idol, Dancing with the stars (or whatever it is), or you’re off the air.”
> 
> Yes, you are saying “appeal to us, the masses who love American Idol or Dance Off, or you’re fucking up.” That’s what you’re saying. You’re saying make what the masses apparently want or you’re a fuck up. That is what you’re saying.

> I’d rather Heroes die then introduce an amateur song and dance competition to spruce up ratings, which you apparently feel is necessary, or they’re just stupid and are going to get cancelled.
> 
> Don’t tell me they have to lose the story arc, or lose the “save the world bit.” I’m not buying that. You want them to introduce a song & dance while “surviving on an island” populated with aspiring actor/bartenders. That’s what you’re saying. You’re saying they’re fools if they don’t.

This is all crazy-talk unworthy of a thoughtful response.

In post #11 he says: “Kring has changed the emphasis of the show about twelve million times over less than a season and a half.”

You are so right I shouldn’t have bothered responding.
