Nah mate, I'm not starting, I'm already done. I haven't watched and not going to watch more than 20 minutes. How did they think this was gonna succeed with a bunch of randoms?
sharebecause they announced right away that it was a "passing the torch" theme to the series, stopping just short of calling it "Heroes: The Next Generation"?
also Quinto, Milo, Ali, and several others repeatedly stated they did NOT WANT TO return? and then Hayden had her fit about NEVER BEING ASKED to return.

Perhaps they did announce it that way, but how were they too blind to see it would never meet most people's expectations? They could've just spent that time making a new show similar to Heroes, not trying to leech off of its' name. But it's whatever. They tried, I guess.
shareThis is why cinema is drowning in meaningless franchises. If one only aims for people's expectations, nothing new would happen, as people expect the same because they cannot think of something new.
The show would have been a lot better, had they dared not to show a single character again until perhaps the final episodes. Instead the deadweight and past of the few characters that reappeared already dragged the show down to the bottom of that pond.
Had they wanted to do something really new, they would have started with one episode to set up the conflict and then gone for five or six anthology episodes, establishing each character before going back into the old habit of showing everyone five minutes each episode, showcasing their superpower at least once, while leaving the season arc to some esoteric mumbo jumbo as the time to establish something meaningful, which works on a smaller scale than destroying mankind, but still hurts, preferably utilizing science fiction for what it was made for: allegory.
since they backtracked on giving East LA Iron Man any powers, and basic science concepts were laughed at like they were creationist propaganda, it's no wonder NO ONE wants to see any more of this. even the original show board has been chopped to a handful of posts, it's so dead.
