I only saw the first new episode of the year last night and thought it was pretty good (the plane crash was particularly nicely shot), so it's really depressing to hear it'll just turn to shit again.
It's a pity since they managed to sort out the issue of Hiro and Peter being too powerful, which was one of the big problems from the start.

It seems to me like they are picking a half dozen characters an episode to tell their portion of the story each week. The last episode was an attempt to flesh out HRG's role and some backtracking but it ended up being right back to where we were before with Noah. Is he or ISN'T he a 'villain'?
I had also wondered at the seemingly Tasha Yar'ish way they had offed Daphne, but I guess we were wrong about that. There are a lot of 'Powered' characters that were introduced that have now just fallen off the face of the world:
Molly Walker
Micah Sanders
The Haitian
Monica Dawson
West Rosen
Maya Herrera
Claude Rains
I think they have overwritten themselves and are now trying to pare it back down to a manageable cast/plot. Hopefully, they will get back to the type of story that made the show so strong.

I think they're pursuing that a little too doggedly with yet another painting of a city being destroyed by Da Bomb in the future if Our Heroes don't stop it. I could almost hear a comic "Here we go agin'!" in the back of my head.

Well, Claude's shown up in several GNs since his last appearance. I think with him at least they're trying to keep things open. If he comes back, it'd be enough to get me to watch the show again.
