Heroes is beyond saving. I don't think there's anything anyone can do that will get people to tune in again and I don't see this kind of series running on a bit over 5 million. I don't know why I still watch. After every episode I decide to stop watching but I always come back… just to be disappointed. So much material in Heroes is completely pointless. It's like you said: so many scenes have just nothing in them. There's no action and nothing new to learn about those characters. Why am I watching Noah refall in love with that lady they just forced into his past? Is this going to be important to the overall story? If they want to do a romance thing they have to do it in context of the show. Right now I feel like I'm watching several shows at once. It's the carnival/Hiro story (OK), the Petrelli/Sylar story (good) and some romantic/teen angst crap with the Bennett family (Why?!).

I can't break up with Heroes. It gave me so many beautiful moments. Sounds like I'm playing relationship chicken.

I felt the same way about FlashForward until I saw this weeks episode ( 10th, Australia ), it was amazing – first time I'm looking forward to the next episode!

Great article, Clarissa! I have found FlashForward to be kind of slow the past 2 weeks but I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will improve after the holidays, because I think there is a lot of potential there. Except Mark- I haven't liked his character from day 1 and I think that the actor plays him very woodenly.
I know 2 shows that I *don't* want overhauled in any way, and they are Glee and Vamp Diaries. Since I love these shows so much, that means they are doomed ;)
