I have to admit, I missed all of last season. A lot of the buzz I heard about
it from all over the place, though, was that "Heroes" wasn't very good. Some
say it was okay, better than the abbreviated season two, but nowhere nearly as
good as the debut season. Others--and that's a lot of folks-
well, but it ran out of
gas at the end and season two was almost unwatchable. I think my wife & I still
