Rookie: "Why not throw in a few characters with really mundane/useless powers..."

• Man who can turn into a turd with little flippers
• Man who produces vanilla-smelling rocks out of his arse
• Man who can make a noise exactly like a McLaren MP22 Formula One racing car

I like the cheerleader.

Bought series 2 on the strength of series 1, watched some of them, got bored, not bothered with it since. Is it worth digging out to watch the rest? Much cheerleadering?

[OrangeHopper]

I am constantly struck by how they all keep changing sides. I've given up trying to work who is trying to do what with whom for some unfathomable whim or another.

How about 'Stamp-man'
The super power of being able to transform himself into a postage stamp of any denomination. Enables him to self-affix to any postable item in order to perform an audit trail on posted items and check up on inefficient and out dated work practices

Pants man is better.

Actually I've got one better and have tapped directly into Tim Kring's head.

The last scene of Series 9 - flashback to when Peter Petrelli jumps off the building right at the beginning of series 1. It turns out he was imagining that his bro could fly and slams into the floor. What we have been watching are his comatose dreams whilst hooked up to life-support in hospital.

a la Bobby Ewing in Dallas?

Why not throw in a few characters with really mundane/useless powers such as:

• Man who can whistle any kind bird song
• Woman who can grow really long underarm hair
• Man who sweats a lot
• Child who can eat sweets without being sick or going apetulip

Any others?

Man who can seamlessly integrate Linux and Windows in five minutes.

Man who can fix the bugs in a software just by looking at it

Sounds like a job for Bob Shawadiwadi or one of his pals. They are so good at all that sort of stuff.

Sadly since season 2 it dropped in quality, they really should have just let Sylar really die and brought in a new bad guy. Also they made some serious mistakes from the get go by making some people (Hiro/Peter) too powerful, thus forcing them to be "nerfed" while Sylar seems to be all over the map in power, like they seem to have conveniently forgotten he stole the power to be pretty much a human nuke


Sylar and hunter are about to have a serious falling out (keep ahead by getting direct from the US)

I hardly watched Series 2 at all..I don't think I missed a thing. Last season went down the tubes pretty quickly with all the "brotherly" love. I only watched half of it and I don't think I missed anything. I agree with most that the end of season 3 should have been the end of Sylar.

Please tell me how a piece of glass could melt out of his head..before his entire body was destroyed? (or did I miss that bit?)

Thanks for the spoiler...NOT!

As in Happy Days "jumped the shark"?

Yeah!

[BrianSnail]

The expression "jumped the shark" was used so frequently in my house, that we've just started putting shark in the title now instead.

For example, I deleted the series link to Prison Shark last night too.

Heroes sharked about 2 seasons ago, hence it is now called Sharkoes.

What are Sharkoes? Anything like cameltoes?
