Lemme get this straight, TV writers worry about TV show plot lines for a story duration spanning a single season? Wow. What a betrayal. They ought to be serving the greater purpose of the overall plotline that exists in the 10% of shows that have a second season. After all, their crystal balls, which show them how many seasons a given show will run, should be able to help them craft a contradiction free narative that satisfies all their viewing audience for a show that last one-half, 1, 2,3, or OMG ten (X-files, may you live on in rediculously convoluted glory) seasons. It has to be an easy task. After all, some random loser on the internet, with the glory of 20/20 hindsight, can see all the flaws in a failed plotline as clear as day.

Yeah, I know, I have a sarcasm overload when it comes to internet criticism, but I think I have a point and that it got through. I absolutely agree that Heroes isn’t Shakespeare for the modern era, but it is very well designed for the market it is competing in, and most of the critics seem to blame it for adopting the qualities that will most help it reach continuation for another season.
