Ways to fix Heroes

-Ditch all the high school stuff with Claire. I don't care about her flying stalker boyfriend or that stuckup cheerleader who looks and talks like she should be in a direct-to-video sequel to "Bring it On". Hopefully they're building to something with the flying kid; we already know about his connection to Claire's dad, but they have yet to actually explore that situation. If they're gonna waste so much time on this sub-"Welcome to the Dollhouse" high school misfit bullshit with Claire, there better be some sort of payoff with flying boy.

-More of Claire's dad, more Sylar. These two are really carrying the show right now. Last season, the only storyline I didn't enjoy was Ali Larter's, with her split-personalities, bad acting and annoying, jheri-curled kid. This season, even the characters I like are getting dragged down by the lame plots they end up in the middle of. But these two ruthless bastards are such good characters that the malaise that seems to be affecting everyone else on the show doesn't touch them.

-Parkman's dad needs to be amazing. When little Mollie Mapquest's "boogieman" was revealed to be the father of Parkman, the perpetually pushed around sad-sack cop, it seemed like a clever idea . This "boogieman" had been built up to the point that you would think he was Lucifer living in Philadelphia, and the notion of the soft, incompetent, Parkman being fathered by a hardhearted demon is a cool one. Hopefully, Poppa Parkman gets a healthy ammount of screen time and remains as
interesting as he was in his first appearance.

-N'Awlins girl has potential, but I could see her situation being mishandled as well. Being able to mimic any action you see is an amazing ability, so why is she wasting it learning to play double dutch and carve tomato roses? Watching the scene with her jumping rope intercut with li'l Soul Glo Micah looking at her with that goofy grin is a memory I will try desperately to repress for the rest of my life.

-This "Peter Bourne" crap needs to stop. For a show that used to be so original, this whole "let's give Peter Amnesia" angle is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. At least he's finally leaving his fake-ass "Boondocks Saints" friends in Ireland. The Lucky Charms leprechaun sounds more Irish than they do. Here's hoping he and Sylar get a rematch and Sylar kills him. It works for everyone-it's a shocker for the people watching at home, Sylar becomes an even better villain, Milo Ventimiglia gets to go on to doing movies, where he could be pretty successful, and "Heroes" jettisons a terrible actor. I haven't seen them in awhile, but I didn't notice dude being that bad in "Rocky Balboa" or the first season of "Heroes". Lately, he's been the worst actor on the show that didn't appear in Varsity Blues wearing a whip cream bikini.

-Kristen Bell needs to appear as much as possible. Only good things on a number of levels could come out of that.

I really don't know what I want to come out of the Sylar/Wonder Twins situation, but I think it's a promising one.
