disappeared up it's own @rse, or is it just me?

Really enjoyed the 1st 2 series but you need a special power just to understand wtf is going on with this one. If it wasn't for haydn pantyhair i'd not bother with it anymore.

I find it easy to follow.

Perhaps it's like the Matrix, some people need to see it twice to understand.

Like most of these sucessful US TV shows, the writer writes six series'. Series 1 is a hit, series 2 even more so....

... producers realise that there are only another 4 left.

Executive producer calls an emergency meeting with the writers and tells them they've got to pad this out by at least two more series. As a result the writer starts having to throw in plot twists which don't really tie in with the rest of the story to satisfy the money men.

Same thing happened with Lost. Started off really good, then went a bit wk.

Edited for shpeling.

It jumped the shark the moment everyone started jumping sides - or turned out to be an identical triplet just so they could bring a preferred (merchandisable) actress back (and keep a banker back in case they feel like killing her character again, you know, just for kicks...)

Yet I still find myself watching it...

I completely lost the plot with it on this new series.

So have given up on it.

too many character changes. Gaining powers, losing powers.

Yes, 2nd half of the 2nd series. Split due to the writers strike in the USA.

no no, 3rd. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroes_(TV_series)
due to the writers strike and whatnot, s2 only had 8 episodes, or something similar.

agree with the above though.
24 and Lost have both erm... lost the plot.

however, I will be watching 24 next monday. 2hr special!
best get that bugger recorded, otherwise it'll be 40mins of adverts :-(

The third triplet has already been mentioned as dead, so doubt she would be bought in.

I'm really enjoying it, but I can see how it is easy to lose track of it all if you miss just one episode. Its hard to follow unless you;re paying attention!

It's rubbish, it's another Lost, has absolutely no direction.

It comes back around, to a point.

I reckon it will all tie up at some point, it did get lost for a minute there.

it's technically the second series. The third series has a slightly different intro.

I'm liking the flashbacks from a continuity pov, as it happens smile

My brother always watches this, I don't.

Makes for interesting viewing when I'm staying at his ... watching a single random episode is like taking drugs for an hour! biggrin
