I think the biggest problem with Heroes is the characters have lost the ability for us to relate to them, Parkman at the start of the season emphasized this perfectly, that ever since he got these powers weird shits been happening. The writers seem to have forgotten that before these were seemingly normal people who got thrust into this situation and they had real problems, not just super hero problems and idk I don't feel that they convey it as well as they used to do it in Season 1 or the way Lost has managed to do it. Short of outright copying Lost's plot, I think it would be best if Tim Kring took a page from them and set an end date, killed off half the characters and got back to basics.
