Heroes (TV Series) Chapter Six 'Dying of the Light' (2008) User Reviews

Gotta troll on them but what's right is right.

This episode was VASTLY superior to like the last 3 but there are still unanswered questions and the writers need to take the characters in a better direction. Just because they've introduced someone with crazy abilities, it doesn't mean jack about how well written the show is. For example, WHY is Nathan Petrelli still alive? Linderman didn't save him because he's dead and nobody else has proclaimed to have that very same ability. Or if you need more convincing that the writers are half-assing their effort, how about why is Eric Doyle such a non-threat? Why was he even introduced in the first place? There are so many new characters this season that left just as fast as they came in, yet they had no integral role towards the story. Back on topic, though, if Doyle had known that Claire is Meredith's biological daughter, what the hell would have kept her from realizing she has regenerative abilities? Why didn't Arthur Petrelli try recruiting him with his crew? If you just ask yourself these tiny little questions about detail, you'll realize just how flawed this show is. I'm not saying I don't enjoy it, I love suspending my belief about reality and I love the little world they've created but the show is no longer on a clear path.

Omg Omg Omg

Well this episode takes things to another level.. There's no soul that can say what will happen next and how will it happen.. Like wise there's no soul that can sling mud on heroes now, cause in this Episode "Heroes" has proved why its the BEST SHOW EVER!!!

Woooohooooo..i just cant wait for the next episode..

NEWER and much more "BADASS" villains are back!!!! With scarier abilities..this episode is not for the weak hearted...;- )Hold you breath and proceed to watch:)

Its worthy to note that while every other show goes through drastic changes to keep their viewers, HEROES still has its essence intact..

Losing my patience...

I am a superhero comics reader (or used to be), and I have never been impressed with this show. What you never do in the comics is to have several characters who can absorb everybody else's powers, because it's too easy and too unrealistic. Yet this show is more about power-swapping than about anything else. Suddenly, in this season, Suresh is acting totally out of character, Sylar is becoming a good guy for no reason, Peter's powers are impossible to keep track of, time-hopping is getting out of hand and making the story almost impossible to follow, and now we have Arthur Petrelli having powers that can absorb Peter's but not vice versa. At the same time, stupid things are happening. WHY did Meredith go to see Doyle without a plan when she KNEW what powers he had? Doesn't make sense. The story is losing both coherence, logic and entertainment value, and will soon be about as ridiculously nonsensical as Lost. A superhero comic wouldn't be caught dead having this kind of story, and if it did, no comics fan would buy it.
