I've already touched on the use of Sylar within the show, namely that he shouldn't be the villain again. However, what the show does need to come back strong is a villain who will knock the pants of every baddie before him. We need Heroes' take on Lex Luthor, The Joker or The Green Goblin; a villain that will push our heroes to their very limits. Arthur Petrelli and Samuel Sullivan were interesting baddies but never felt like the big league. Arthur was lost in the mess that was season three. Samuel was more successful, thanks in no part to the nuanced portrayal by Robert Knepper, but his story took far too long to really get going, something a thirteen-part mini-series can hopefully rectify. Some of the best superheroes have the best rogues gallery and Heroes needs this to succeed. Taking the leaf perhaps out of Christopher Nolan's 'realistic' take on Gotham City, Heroes could adopt its brand of real world versus super powers to give us something truly remarkable.
A writer for Whatculture since May 2013, I also write for TheRichest.com and am the TV editor and writer for Thedigitalfix.com . I wrote two plays for the Greater Manchester Horror Fringe in 2013, the first an adaption of Simon Clark's 'Swallowing A Dirty Seed' and my own original sci-fi horror play 'Centurion', which had an 8/10* review from Starburst magazine! (http://www.starburstmagazine.com/reviews/eventsupcoming-genre-events/6960-event-review-centurion) I also wrote an episode for online comedy series Supermarket Matters in 2012. I aim to achieve my goal for writing for television (and get my novels published) but in the meantime I'll continue to write about those TV shows I love!
