As the director himself said,you can google it,they messed the show hence the 15% drop in viewing figures. He said himself that it was rushed and that the love storylines were not done well.IMO,they were awful. Also,if fans can be patient and wait this long for Lost,if fans of Prison Break,which is a far bigger brand than Heroes can wait for the show,then so can Heroes fans.

Kring decided to rush it and has seen alot of fans turned off because of this.It was his/his team choice at the end of the day. He wasn't recieveing death threats from fans to hurry up and make the shows. Lost fans are the worst,most impatient yet seldom do we see those prducers say,ok let's make as many rushed episodes and give as many answers as possible at the expense of our own story.
