But, like any gimmick introduced this late into a series, it might be TOO LATE. Where were these people all these years when the company and then the government was hunting people with powers? How did they hide? Etc.<br /><br />The other problem I had with them, is the Sylar problem. Obviously, there is an easier way to fix him. Have the Haitian wipe his memory. But no, we don't use the Haitian for the Sylar problem, because we want to bring Sylar back as a baddie.<br /><br />You know what -- I am tired of Sylar. Make him go away.<br /><br />Finally, the time travel. Sorry, real time travel doesn't work that way. Who knows how much of history Hiro changed by that one act from Samuel and him 14 years ago. I don't like this path he's embarked on. It's a loser.<br /><br />I think "Heroes" has finally jumped the shark as they say, and is heading for the scrap heap. Too bad, because it had its moments, some of which were visible even this Monday. HRG with Tracy, even Peter. Loved all of Peters moments.M.P.

I'm on a business trip and meetings are running into the evening, so missed the Heroes premiere and haven't had a chance to catch up on it on Hulu yet. This was just enough to wet my whistle without actually spoiling too terribly much about what to expect.<br /><br />I wonder if you've had a chance to read <b><i>Heroes & Philosophy</i></b> yet? I've got a couple of essays in it related to the science of the show, and there's a great <a href="http://azjauthor.blogspot.com/2009/09/authorsgoogle-features-heroes-and.html" rel="nofollow">Authors@Google</a> discussion about the philosophical implications of <i><b>Heroes</b></i> by Tyler Shores, one of the other authors who also has an essay in it.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing what you have to say about the other upcoming premieres.azjauthorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258812893943159574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-45775989683990331102009-09-22T13:33:04.002-04:002009-09-22T13:33:04.002-04:00Thanks - I was more clear about this in my review ...Thanks - I was more clear about this in my review of the Season 3 finale in April - and I clarified in my post above here :)Paul Levinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609987407926836519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-63575841944391610572009-09-22T13:19:16.983-04:002009-09-22T13:19:16.983-04:00Nathan died last season at the hands of Sylar.

Sylar was rendered unconcious by Peter and the choice was made to turn Sylar(with his newly aquired shap-shifting ablilities) into Nathan by wiping the Sylar persona and making Sylar actually belive he was Nathan.<br /><br />Everything else you stated was correct. But Nathan is dead. All we have now is Sylar's body thinking it's Nathan.QTpienoreply@blogger.com
