On yesterday's Round Table, our staff unanimously agreed that we wanted to see Tracy die. Why?
The character has overstayed her welcome. She brings nothing new to the show. Moreover, someone has to die soon. The series continues to fake viewers out with pretend deaths, lowering the level of drama and suspense each time.
That being said, producer/writer Bryan Fuller has a message for our site: prepare to be disappointed.
He spoke to Entertainment Weekly this week and put to rest rumors that Ali Larter wants off the show.
"She's not going anywhere," Fuller said. "I've never seen somebody so committed to the show as Ali, and the show is absolutely committed to Ali."
The scribe added that he jumped at the chance to pen an upcoming episode that focuses on Larter's Tracy.
"If you look at the 'Fugitives' arc, it all kind of leads up to episode 20 in a nice way. There's a great twist in her arc."
There better be, Bryan!
Welcome to our 26th Heroes Round Table.
While fans of the show gather in the forums to discuss every character and storyline, our staff comes together every week to analyze the latest developments from the latest episode.
Topics in this edition include: Claire's decision, Nathan's reversal and Tracy. Let's get to the Q&A...
Should Claire have helped Doyle?
A. Hiro: NO! It's all well and good Claire wants to help her friends... but then why not help her friends?!? The last we saw of Doyle, he was acting in as deplorable a fashion as possible. It was very strange to have him just show up, ask for help - and actually receive it!
Milover: Of course not. But this wasn't about Doyle. Claire has now chosen to be a proactive Hero. I'm interested to see where that goes.
Timex: Yes. Can't people change? She didn't intervene until she saw that Doyle didn't kill that agent, even when he had the chance to.
So... is Nathan a good guy again?
Timex: I has a problem with this. I understand Nathan never meant real harm to his friends, but didn't he expect this sort of mission might get messy? It was awfully ignorant of him to turn on the Hunter just because things slipped a bit out of control.
A. Hiro: It's a gray area, hence the episode's title! Nathan truly had the best interests of his country in mind when this volume began. Now he's seen the error in his ways. Nothing wrong with that.
Milover: He always planned on keeping Claire safe, that's nothing new. Nathan was never a true villain, that's what volume three taught us. There's good and bad inside everyone.
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!
Viewers will need to wait two weeks for a new episode of Heroes.
When the series returns on March 23, though, it looks like we're in for a couple of treats.
According to E! Online, the following developments will take place:

While this episode of Heroes helped moved the story along - Nathan and Claire are both on the run, along with the rest of their friends; while Sylar has a new mission - there was at least one significant plot hole:
Claire helped Doyle simply because the mysterious Rebel said she should? It's nice to see a proactive, motivated Claire and all... but perhaps it's a bad idea to aid in the escape of someone specifically labeled a "villain" and captured for his evil ways just last volume.
This is the latest example of the show seemingly making things up as it goes along, erasing the actions of characters from previous volumes and having them act in whatever way is most appropriate at that moment, as called for in the script.
We'd love to have someone write in and tell us why we were supposed to be rooting for Claire in her mission to assist Doyle.
Read our full, slightly frustrated recap of this "Shades of Gray" now. We're trying to stay positive, but the story continues to fly in numerous directions, none of which the writers seem to have thought about until about five minutes ago.
Discuss Mr. Gray and other aspects of Heroes in our FORUM!
On tonight's episode of Heroes, Shades of Gray, viewers will witness a historic event:
Sylar meets his father.
We'll recap the hour in detail soon after it airs. In the meantime, please visit our Heroes forum and discuss the latest developments with fans...
On tonight's episoe of Heroes, Sylar finally confronts his father (guest star John Glover).
Based on the photos below, the meeting doesn't exactly go as planned for our favorite serial killer.

Claire: "Do you remember that scene in Lost when Kate and Sawyer are locked in the cages...
The news that Heroes has been picked up for a fourth season is less than 24 hours old - but the show is already working on storylines for it.
Writer/producer Bryan Fuller told Entertainment Weekly that the concluding moments of the third season finale will set the stage for the fall.
"Basically, the last act of episode 25, similar to what's been done in the past, opens up a new chapter of Heroes. It sets up arcs for a variety of characters," Fuller said, adding that a certain former cheerleader will be focused on:
"We set all the pieces up in terms of Claire's attitude and what her trajectory is going to be in season 4. You will have a very strong idea by the end of this season's final episode where Claire is going and what's going to be happening with the Petrellis."
Sounds like Claire will be at the center of season four. Does this make you excited or annoyed?
