It's a good thing Heroes has already been renewed for a fourth season.
Let's just hope it's not too late for NBC to reverse that decision.
Last night's new episode, "Shades of Gray," was the lowest rated hour in the history of the show. Only 6.6 million viewers turned in to see Sylar finally come face-to-face with his father.
What do you think should be done in order to boost ratings? The series needs all the suggestions it can get!
Like Sylar in this scene from last night's episode, we can only hope Heroes will soon bounce back, full of vegeance!

Give Hiro and Peter back their awesome powers, and make them the decent, supercool heroes they were supposed to be.
True, it's interesting to see the characters on the show struggle with their humanity, but this is not a soap opera... this is about superheroes.
Generally, the creators of the show should be maybe just a bit more conservative to the genre, and just give people what they want to see. Not experiment with allegiances and make it hard to trust that a character is good or not.
I was devastated when Peter lost his powers, and I was even more bummed when the same happened to Hiro. This is not fun or amusing! I love these characters and they should always be awesome.
Stop giving the Heroes a bad time and let them become Heroes that can kick ass and work for a better world. Like superheroes are meant to do!

give peter back his powers and im afraid hiros character will have to end, no more time travel otherwise its the same thing over and over again and make new characters a whole new cast including four of our heroes/villians

Get Samson Grey and Sylar to have some sort of epic powers standoff against Peter and Arthur. It wont make sense but it will definately get the power-geeks fapping.
Hell throw in some ted sprauge versus ando action and see what kinda calamity will occur.

D4-4-life: Care to elaborate? I'd really like to understand why they stripped Peter/Hiro off their powers.
On that note, I had a thought, maybe the show has become so specialized now (hang on I'll explain) that it doesnt appeal to the mainstream anymore?
Specialized as in, you actually have to be a comic book-geek to fully appreciate (understand it even) what the creators are doing.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IS PISSING LOYAL FOLLOWERS OFF AS FAR AS THE SHOW..1. YOU WATERED DOWN PETER'S POWER, PEOPLE ARE SO WANTING A PETER VS. SYLAR BATTLE AND YOU WATERED DOWN HIS POWER. 2. HIRO IS POWERLESS AND ITS BEEN WAY TOO LONG, THIS IS HEROES, NOT NORMAL PEOPLE ON A JOURNEY, WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE COOL POWERS, NORMAL PEOPLE THAT CANT DO ANYTHING ON TV IN A SUPERPOWER TV SERIES IS BORING. 3.YOU GET SYLAR MEETING HIS DAD AND HIS DAD AND ITS NOT A GRAND FIGHT AT ALL, HE HAS SEVERAL POWERS AND YOU PIT SYLAR VS. THE OLD FOLKS HOME TAXIDERMIST.4. BY INTRODUCING THE HUMAN ELEMENT, GOVERMENT AND SUCH, ITS INTERESTING, BUT THE ENTERTAINING HERO WITH POWERS VS HEROE ITH POWERS IS MISSING.5. THERES NO INNOCENCE LEFT IN THE HIRO/ANDO RELATIONSHIP, THE COMICAL INTERACTION IS LOST WHEN YOU HAVE THIS DRAMA BETWEEN THEM, THE COMICAL INTERACTION BETWEEN TO BUDS IS GONE, ITS LIKE THEIR QUESTIONING EACH OTHER AND AT ODDS...LOVE THE SHOW, BUT YOU GUYS NEED TO LISTEN TO WHAT FANS ARE SOUR ABOUT AND DO SOMETHING PRONTO.

Even if they change this or that, most people gave up on that show a while ago. In my opinion, Heroes is getting better and better, but everybody that stop watching won't know that...

i agree the show needs to give peter his full powers back. I can see that the writers want to have peter not abuse his powers like he did last season but its like watching peter be powerless and boring again. it sort of made the season one characters who died off irrelevant. like peter's phasing aquired from DL gone. as well as claude and elle? although ive heard that peter's crrent form of aquiring powers is only temporary so that his body can get back to usuing his all powerfull amazing power. and this volume is kind of going on what happened last season with peter. less powers being used and more people being crafty and cunning. the only non powered person we want like that is noah bennet. because i mean lets face it the man is the definition of kickass. Hiro has been my favortie character since season one as well as for a lot of other people. but this volume and the last he did more time traveling than actually using his powers to fight. teleporting to fight sylar and such was awesome. but also the way they made hiro time travel in villains wasnt tht great an idea. i think his time travel should be used as a checkmate. like when he uses that part of his power its the trump card as well as the last resort. i think that a superpowered hiro and ando would make an awesome pair. i do think though that where claire is going is good. because she has been my least favortie character of all the seasons. all she has been is whiny and bitchy. at least lately she has been showing some back bone and character. there was also a lot of discovery in season one which i think everyone liked. and now the show is kind of generalizing and stereotyping the different power types together. there isnt a sense of wonder in the abilities anymore. and there should also definitely be a trump card like hiro's time traveling which would be the haitians power where all other powers are negated for the moment.i also just dont like how people with powerfull abilities are terrified of the POWERLESS agents. i mean they are FREAKING POWERLESS!!!!! they cant do much! and the show should make it known how great byan fuller is in relation to the show so that they have a trailer related to him as well and showcasing some really cool heroes next episode stuff. that is what i should thinK The writers/show should do. for the rest go to GUNSMITH.

the show really NEEDS to stop introducing dumb characters i mean knox, doyle, flint were all stupid waste of time characters and taking peters powers away was the dumbest thing the show has ever done, i watched last nights episode to see nothings changed its still the same old boring shit, like what the fuck are the writers doing you go on and off with this show someone dies but no wait they didnt they just survived being shot so many times and why in the hell was doyle back anyways sylar killed him by breaking his neck in volume 3 you guys just brought him back for something to write about wasnt it. bring back peters powers, and Hiros dont give sylar a fucking sidekick,and if this bryan fuller can save this show great. i want TO SEE A WAR HAPPEN kill off some characters end this shit already prison break was better and they got canceled
