    Heh, is that your main problem with that storyline?

    Time travel stories always bug me if they're not done properly. Heroes doesn't do it properly. But I can ignore it cause Hiro and Kensei are so cute.

    Wow, New York is in danger. I never would have guessed it! I wonder what unexpected turn awaits me in the next gripping episode of Heroes. :O

    Unless it's only on a quantum level, nobody does it properly.

    Time traveler's wife did it pretty much perfectly.

    I am seriously pissed that they are using the exact same storyline again.

    Also, when they read Hiro's notes in the present time, the historian should realize on the spot that something's wrong. The Japanese writing system has been truly fixed in the present form after World War II, and you can see clearly in the notes that Hiro uses modern ortography.

    Hannah, didn't you say that the creative team went to speak at your school or something?

    I remember hearing about the plans for an ensemble cast and how the story was going to continually change focus from character to character and how the widespread evolution affects their daily lives. Now, with the exception of Monica, Maya, and Alejandro, everyone is involved in some sort of large conspiracy or dead.

    That never even occurred to me, but now that you point it out it's really obvious that someone writing 335 years ago would likely have a different style in many ways to someone writing today.

    Apparently, somewhere along the line, they lost their collective balls and bailed on the innovative idea to REALLY change it up from season to season. They sat there in front of 300 students and told us that they were gonna revolutionize TV. Bunch of bullcrap. They got scared, and they did NOTHING different. Pfft. Pansies.

    Their revolutionary ideas echoed in the ratings successfully. As I recall, the series' ratings were at its peak in the first handful of episodes and slowly went down after the episode about Claire and her father, Company Man.

    The ratings plummet lower than ever as more and more characters from last season become involved in a spiralling conspiracy. Ordinary people with extraordinary powers? Not anymore. Ordinary people don't take down esoteric organizations.

    The show got too successful and they didn't want to risk doing something new. It's our faults for watching it, really.
