well, i think heroes is a really great program and i dont think anything should be changed. tim kring seems like an intelligent personality and i trust him with his work.i only think that he should avoid too many characters. i dont find the relevance of having too many characters. in seasons one and to, the prog made more sense and had a very obvious theme that was understandable and straight foward, different pple in the world realising their powers and trying to fit them into their daily lives.i think season three has gone big.it is not about people in the world realising their powers but its about one family split into two, each team finding reinforcements to fight the other side....
but i think heroes is pretty great. its in fact fantastic. i just think that tim kring should rechek his script and avoid adding too mamy more characters. adding is ok, but exess adding of unessesary characters doesnt make sense. and i dont think he should fire anyone. he should just work together with his current crew of actors, co-writers, producers and directors....out of ten, i give heroes an 8.5.

Kill list:
Claire "icant feel pain" Bennett- top of my list, can't act, one dimensional, selfish, annoying, must she have the same facial expression for every scene?

Suresh-never heard of a dumb scientist before.

Nikki/Tracy/Barbara/or any other variations that we do not know about. --nice to look at but does not add anything to the story.

Micah and his copycat cousin - Booooring..yawn

The entire Claire Bennett family with exception of HRG. I am counting biological and adopted mothers.Claire's brother

Nathan "I can fly" Petrelli - can't they just shoot him when he is in the air?

Knox - I feed on people's fear...so what

Parkman and the lil love child he had with Suresh.

Hiro - yes I said it, kill Hiro. unless he can transform into future Hiro within this season, I say kill him off. I wished that Ando can get his powers soon.

Bring back -
Adam Monroe - this character had alot of potential. Too bad he had a very simple death

Invisible guy-from season 1

Haitian--want to see more of him


Keep:

HRG
Future Peter
Future Hiro
Both Petrelli Parents
Sylar

Personally, I think the show's still great and that there aren't too many characters at all. I still believe in Heroes, I never stopped believing.

Kring has said this before and then not followed through. Criticism for season 2 was; too many new characters, too many stupid decisions and not enough forward motion.

What did he do? Added more characters, made them dumber and made the story lines spastic.

Here's hoping he learns from his last round of "fixes" which made the show worse.

I am extremely disappointed that Kring would back down to people that don't want to "think"... He's listening to the minority (I hope) that are addicted to mind numbing shows like Dancing with The Stars... This show makes you THINK.. remember that ? .. This show is a puzzle ! If you want Happy Days back.. watch the "back in the day" channel.

Well, if you read the E News article linked, it says Fuller is one of the names being bandied about as a replacement, not that he is the replacement.

The TV Squad article is a bit confusing on that regard.

He's bringing back Bryan Fuller? I thought the whole reason he left in the first place was to do "Pushing Daisies", and don't say PD is getting cancelled so he'll have plenty of time to devote to "Heroes". PD is still a very funny and entertaining series, it needs to last.

If Tim Kring is bringing back Bryan Fuller, what does that imply for the future of the much beloved "Pushing Daisies?" ABC hasn't ordered the back 9 episodes of "PD" yet. I'd rather keep "PD" and lose "Heroes" if we had to make a choice.

Jeph Loeb is one of the best superhero narrative writers of all time, and they fired him? Idiots!

Maybe I'll watch the 4th season.

I remember the pilot, good writing, actual characters.
