Heroes S2E3 struggles to enthuse

Dear Heroes,

You should not be a soap opera. Episode 3 features three distinct instances of snogging and so many plotlines that no progress really occurs in any of them.

Your strong characters (all of them) are getting watered down by lack of exposure. Please find happy endings for most character threads pronto so that our interest may be held by a character-driven plot actually moving forward. It's hardly a cliff-hanger when each episode only moves an inch closer to the edge.

Losing interest, struggling to care, and this is only episode 3. Could you at least promise that the world will be destroyed by some cataclysm unless the Heroes stop it? We're sort of hanging on for too little at this point.

I'm taking a ticket to post at some future point about the violent nature of progress. It seems a lot more could be done on this front.
