Wow, a cliffhanger ending for a dead show. This do-over made the original look like breaking bad levels of quality

Sadly the cliffhanger was more interesting than the entire plotline of this miniseries...

Finale was weak, but I'd honestly be down for another season. It was better than all the procedural crap airing.

The thing with Chuck and the first flare, I don't think the writers understand size and distance. It would have been a few million miles away still, if it was close enough for Chuck to affect it the Earth was already screwed.
Same with the second and that beam of light that went into it, would have been travelling millions of miles.

While it wasn't the best, it was refreshing to watch.
A lot of weird cringy shit, but who cares?
I liked young Nathan/Tommy. Great actor honestly. Anyone not American who can pull off a convincing American accent gets two thumbs up from me. Also, Dude looks super young for his age
Poor Noah. At the end of the day, he loved his adoptive grandchildren without even knowing them. Sacrificed himself
Idk why it ended the way it did though. It felt so fucking weird.. Like the scene was cut short. I was waiting for a post credits scene.
And how do we know Chuck died? It could just be a second level to his ability. Maybe he can turn into solar energy and materialize when he learns to. Not that it fucking matters.
And why the hell are some of you bringing up papa patrelli? I despise that son of a bitch. My main dude was always peter and when he left him powerless it made me sick lol. Power sharing is way better than complete power draining.
I'd really love to see a heroes movie with Sylar and Peter..
Also. Wtf. Show felt so weird without Mohinder narrating the outro

Parkman is always written in ways that don't use his abilities well. That whole scene in the previous episode where he was holding a gun to the boss woman daughter to get results cracked me up.... Why didn't he just mind control the boss and get the information, watches, etc?
It really is. I mean we've seen the dude's and girl Claire had a thing for. None of them were bad people. How did this girl fuck up so badly that she slept with an evil guy? I want to know who he is and what happened to my Sylar and Peter bromance. Also, Peter not mentioning Ando once really sucks.
But why would he sleep with Claire?
He's NOT American? Damn. Yeah, his acting was the best on the show, next to HRG. I hope he gets some work after this and doesn't remain trapped in Tim Kring hell. If Hiro and Parkman can break free, he can too. I also really liked Miko and Ren, as characters and as a couple.
They were cute, okay. Don't judge me.
Noaaaaah. ;_; I got the feeling he would bite it by the end, but I'm still sad it happened. At least that seals the show's fate. There is no Heroes without HRG or Hiro, as far as I'm concerned.
You're right, it doesn't matter, but with so many dropping like flies in this finale, it's safe to assume he's dead.

So was hiro dead after that showdown with xsplit? I totally forgot about him

Lol yeah, Tommy/Nathan actor is Robbie Kay. He's British. When I saw one of his interviews my jaw dropped when he spoke lol
He actually turns 21 this year. Not bad for a guy playing a 16 year old (and looking like it) on tv. It's probably why they cast a girl who's 18 as his girlfriend (whose character is 16)
I'm always impressed when European actors pull off such great American accents. Idris Elba had me fooled in the wire, until I met him in person. He was actually DJing at a lounge I was in. The guy from House, Hugh Laurie fooled me too.
Besides Mark Hamill, there aren't too many American actors I know of (off the top of my head) who can pull off a British accent throughout an entire movie that British people are impressed by. In fact, they usually find everything wrong with it lol
Lol is there an American Accent 101 class for all these British and European actors?
Please share for research purposes.
Holy hell. He does NOT look 21. At ALL. Well, at least now I can say I thought he was cute without looking/feeling like a creeper.

I think they only wanted one season to close the series. I don't know why they even left us off with a cliffhanger tbh. There might be comics or novels, games, or movies to close it off entirely I'm assuming. We honestly don't know dude.

Yeah I didn't think of that. They're could be a tie-in game or something.
I remember when the original show was on, they had a web series running simultaneous to the show that I never watched.
With them killing off pretty much every character played by an expensive actor, it would be pretty easy to continue the show that way.

As nice as this is I just wanted one shot of her in tight-fitting jeans, but... Sigh. Tim Kring, you had ONE JOB.For science!

Nah, anytime there's a "limited series" they want to do more than one season, but are covering their asses in case it flops.
Although the premise behind the show ended up being rather cool, what a disaster this whole thing has been. Atrocious writing, directing, and special effects. The writing alone for the final episode was so stupid, they really had no idea how to solve the stories they had come up with and just did total nonsense (like having a single person fly up and somehow make a solar flare disappear [!!!]).

This is likely going to be tough, but does anyone know where I can find footage of specific scenes from this show online without pirating it? I'm just curious to see some of the hospital-based scenes, because it was filmed in a place I've visited.

Free trial of Hulu?

It's not available in my region.
I honestly just want to see interior and exterior shots located in hospital(s).
So remember that game tie-in? Well good news for you guys because Giant Bomb just uploaded a Quick Look of Gemini: Heroes Reborn so nobody has to play it because of reasons.
It seems like Austin and Vinny spared themselves from watching Reborn. The game looks rough.

They wish this was anywhere as good as Lost.
Which is too bad, because Heroes was the first show to actually give Lost a run for its money.
