Save us from your own show already!

What happened to our beloved Heroes?

While the last two episodes have been the best this season... Still, this season has consistently stunk. This is a show that we said was better than Lost! And it took that crown only half way into it's first season.

You can't even blame this on the writer's strike. They started down this road well before the threat of strike. Why has the second season of Heroes fallen so far? The second season of Lost was BETTER than the first. It took that show until season 3 to get even a little boring. And here is Heroes, pulling a season 3 Lost already!

Entertainment Weekly interviewed Heroes creator Tim Kring, while he was picketing his own show! He addresses almost every complaint we have about the show right now... I couldn't believe it.

''We assumed the audience wanted season 1 -- a buildup of intrigue about these characters and the discovery of their powers. We taught [them] to expect a certain kind of storytelling. They wanted adrenaline. We made a mistake.''

Yeah, we wanted that in SEASON 1. Seeing all these new character "come to terms" with their powers has already been covered. We've seen that, and a few of our favorites from last season must now "re-come to terms" with the powers they already have!

He comments on Hiro being out of commission for too long:
''...should have [lasted] three episodes. We didn't give the audience enough story to justify the time we allotted it.''

And how about the forced 90210: With Powers angle:
"'I've seen more convincing romances on TV,'' he admits. ''In retrospect, I don't think romance is a natural fit for us.''

Wow, when have you ever heard a Television Person admit that they were wrong. Jeez, usually they stick with a bad choice until all the life has been sucked from their audience.

''The message is that we've heard the complaints -- and we're doing something about it.''

He's already won us back.

I'll start watching again when they get rid of the ham-fisted dialogue.
