I was thinking the goofier the better. Like, Flipper. Claire finds a dolphin in Odessa. She nurses it back to health much to HRG's concern. The dolphin ends up being SYLAR.
Or Shawshank. Mohinder and Matt are jailed for crimes they didn't commit. Matt reads minds and manipulates the warden while Mohinder uses a syringe to scrape away at the walls of the cell. Together they escape during a solar eclipse and run off to Mexico to refinish boats.
Well, it embarks on borrowing plots pretty regularly. Doesn't mean they go anywhere. "Hey - let's have Syler fix watches - it'll be just like Watchmen!"
I know that they're bringing back one of the Season 1 producers to fix this mess... but I honestly don't know that it's possible to bring back the original interest when it's wandered for two seasons.
The last Heroes I watched (with one eye because it was so boring) was "Mohinder Turns Into Seth Brundle." Bleh. I stopped even the cursory viewing then.
Really, the whole show boils down to "I've lost my powers! I've regained my powers! I've lost them again! I'm good! No, I'm evil! Wait, I'm good! It's the past! It's the future! The past! Let's steal scifi plots/devices/motifs beyond X-Men, which we've utterly exhausted!" And so on.
I deprogrammed it from the DVR several weeks ago, but they sucked me into that episode by killing off Veronica Mars in the opening scene and having Lt. Sulu.
I realized that it was a mistake about 1/2 through the show and Heroes has remained de-programmed from the DVR.
