First of all...I would like to sy that I liked watching all the heroes shows and really hate that they are calling it quits...it is something different to watch on tv than reality tv....After the show was officially canceled back in May, it was hoped that NBC would allow producer Tim Kring and the cast one last shot to say goodbye to fans with either a mini-series or a TV movie to wrap up all the loose ends. SPOIlERS #4. Sylar Finally Kills Nathan (Sort of) – (Season 3, Episode 25, “An Invisible Thread”) It took three seasons, but Heroes creator Tim Kring finally pulled the trigger — and had Sylar kill off Nathan Petrelli. Well, kind of. Even though Nathan was really, honest-to-goodness dead in this episode, he was “resurrected” in typical Heroes fashion, with Sylar brainwashed into assuming Nathan’s life. It meant they could keep actor Adrian Pasdar around, while still being able to say they finally killed off Nathan after what seemed like a half dozen half-hearted attempts. Most importantly, killing Nathan also allowed the show to take the characters and the plot in new directions. #3. Claire Wakes Up in the Morgue After “Dying” – (Season 1, Episode 3, “One Giant Leap”) After they’ve already cut her open. It was one of the more talked-about, gross-out scenes from the entire show, and opened some eyes as to how far Heroes was willing to go to be different. Having your main character die, then wake up on an autopsy table, and look down at her chest cut open was pretty nuts. The scene signaled that Heroes could be very daring when it wanted to. #2. First Real Appearance of Sylar — (Season 1, Episode 9, “Homecoming”) He’s one of the most memorable villains on TV, and this was our first true introduction to Zachary Quinto as Sylar. It’s bad enough he’s a serial killer, but a superpowered one with a decidedly very bloody method of taking away his victim’s powers. Sylar easily makes for one of TVdom’s best fictional villains of all time, and the fact that he looks oh so “boy next door” as played by Zachary Quinto just adds to the awesome factor. #1. Future Hiro Introduces Himself to Peter in the Subway – (Season 1, Episode 5, “Hiros”) There is no blood, there are no explosions, there isn’t even a fight. It’s just a friendly, quiet conversation in a subway car between two pivotal characters. So what’s so special about it? I’ll tell you: because this one scene convinced you that “Heroes” was going to be different, surprising, daring, smart, and forward-thinking. Of course, debates will rage on as to whether the show’s creators ever followed up on this promise, but there is no doubt about it: when Future Hiro showed himself to Peter and delivered the foreboding news about the future, it totally blew our collective minds, and gave us all kinds of ideas about where the show could go. So many directions, so many possibilities… Did it ever get there? You decide.Read full review
It's fun to watch. Not great television, the series was was entertaining. It burned out after four seasons. Good finale. It's obvious the producers were planning on a season 5 before being cancelled as the number of viewers dropped.

One thing that I really respect about Heroes is that the writers manage to wrap up almost every season so it's self-contained with almost all the plot threads resolved, but enough left dangling to lead into the next season. The fourth and final season is no exception. Like the previous three seasons, it consists of many separate yet intersecting plot lines, each of which could be a series unto itself. The catalyst for season 4 is a new milieu, the carnival, which contains a new villain, Samuel, who is far more complex, and at least as dangerous, as Sylar, who is far more tiresome and less interesting than in previous seasons. As with its predecessors, the tension in season 4 builds to an earth-shattering conclusion (both literally and metaphorically) that wraps up most of the major plot threads while leaving the viewer hungering for more. Although the series has ceased production and the actors have gone their separate ways, creator Tim Kring has said he would like to see the saga continue, perhaps in a different medium. I would highly recommend this series to any fan of science fiction TV, but because of its heavy reliance on large story arcs, the seasons really need to be viewed in order. In other words, don't watch season 4 until you've seen seasons 1, 2, and 3.Read full review

I love this television series because it has a ton of action, a bit of romance and a plethora of different powers. The writers really draw you in with these dynamic (not to mention super good looking )characters. There is no such thing as pure good and pure evil and this series demonstrates this truth very well. The ending to the fourth season is very dramatic and makes you simply want more.
