Seriously folks - there can be only one and done:
HEROES
Save the cheerleader, save the world and then please - go home. But nooooo../
Gonna disagree, we needed more Heroes, but from a writing team with a vision and purpose. Or at least one that understood the character driven nature of the first season was it's selling point, not just the half baked superhero action. The '07 writers strike really screwed that show.
Season 1 rocked but I'm still bitter that Hiro saying "Nissan Versa!" is stuck in my mind so many years later
Boop Boop!
Wait what!? Shit I ended up buying a nissam versa as my first car years later. I always wondered why I chose that car

Could you also please tell the writers not to create 2 characters that are so overpowered that they threaten to destroy the world every time they turn around? Not everyone needs to be a supercharged Rogue...
This really worked for season 1 because you didn't know which one of them was going to be the catalyst of the bomb. They should've disposed both of those characters at the end of the season, but NBC just wanted a money grab and bring them both back for something incoherent in the following seasons.
I always found funny how, Hiro could have saved all of them in all seasons by just traveling in time, so the writers always trapped him somewhere.
I can only judge by what was done - not could have been. From the first episode of the second season, it was clear lightning wasn’t gonna strike twice.
Watch series one of Misfits for more (better) Teen Superpower action!
Quick edit: yeah just watch until Nathan leaves
Or, you know, have them be HEROS. I kept waiting for them to do something that helped someone that wasn't a HERO or fight something that wasn't a HERO. If you took everyone that had powers and put them on Mars, nothing on earth would change.
Honestly, I rewatched season 1 again a couple of years ago and it didn't really hold up for me. The Niki and Micah storyline just seemed to slow everything down. I don't know if it the newness factor wore off or if my tastes have changed, but it just didn't have the same feeling.
