It's been a long time since I updated. I usually update once a year, but I
missed the mark. I figured I should update before everything goes to zero....

Call me a super-fan, I thought Heroes was doing fine. I've lived through many comic and anime story-arcs and I was fine with the pace. Then again, I like the Hiro and Claire romance stories, which aren't apparently wooing the fans. I also like the seperate plots to come together at small twists like they did on the last episode for the Adam character, which they also pulled well last season with the Linderman group (from the online graphic novels), which they are explaining this season. I guess I'm too biased, but I like what they feed me.
I'm a fan of the show but I agree with all of the points that Tim Kring makes. I was relieved to see that the creator of the show made no bones about what I was feeling. He hit all of them on the head in my opinion. I don't know if the ordering of them was intentional but all of the points made after #1 seemed to contribute to the poor pacing.
Don't get me wrong, I like build up and good character development, but there is a difference between a movie, book, and TV show. I think that given that there is a week in between each episode and all these hiatuses it got really annoying.
I know that each TV show should leave you wanting more, but it got tired and I agree with Kring when he said "We took too long to get to the big-picture story"
In the final point I was glad to see that Kring himself thought that the love stories were kinda lame. I definitely thought they were shark jump worthy. It might have been a matter of execution more than anything, but I couldn't help shake the thought of the Claire story being reminiscent of her act in Bring it on 3: All or Nothing.
It's refreshing to see a show creator be so candid about the sore spots on something that he pours his passion into, and how he plans to respond to them. There is definitely is a face behind the curtain and he hears what people say. As Ali G would say, big ups to Chris Kringle. Cool article.
I'm a fan too but agreed with every point he made. Why is there this fad of developing plot lines out of order in time and I'm not refering to time travel but to the order they are presented to the viewer. The most recently aired show was a lot better than the previous ones this season but... it was almost entirely filling in holes in the previously aired shows.
