Actor Masi Oka says that as “Heores” enters the stretch-run of its fourth season, that he feels the storyline his character Hiro has been given this year is the second-best one for Hiro since the show began.
“I’m very happy with the stuff he got to do this season,” he says. “I think having the brain tumor, dealing with that and Charlie were two great things that Hiro had in terms of a dramatic [story line]. It was very challenging. I would say this is my second favorite creative season for Hiro.”
With three episodes left, many fans are wondering if Hiro will be reunited with Charlie, who he went back in time to save before Samuel took her prisoner.
“Let’s put it this way: He has to find Charlie and it will be resolved by the Winter Olympics,” Oka tells TVGuide.com. “I can’t say what kind of reunion it will be, but there will be a resolution. Whether it’s good or not, the audience will have to decide. But it won’t just be talked about — like, ‘Oh well, she’s lost in time. Too bad!'”
As for the future, Oka says he hopes the show gets another season to at least offer closure to the fans who have stuck with the show since the beginning.
“I haven’t gotten any word on a renewal, but everyone agrees the show does deserve a proper ending, just because we want to pay homage to fans who have stuck with us from the beginning,” he says. “Nothing is 100 percent guaranteed in television. Maybe they get amazing pilots. Hopefully it won’t be like the ‘X-Files’ where we need a movie to wrap things up. My hope is to have a finite end date, like ‘Lost’, or they give the writers the chance to wrap up everything and know they’re going to be done.”
The writers are idiots. The ratings have been in the toilet, and yet they still wrote a cliffhanger ending. After all, why give the few people still watching the show any chance of closure?
I love heroes and i hope there will be a season 5. I loved hiro in this season and i hope he does get reunited with charlie.
This season was definitely the 2nd best they ever had… I’ve been enjoying it mostly. Not that it doesn’t have HUGE faults, but they don’t distract as much as they did season 2 and 3. I’m all for a season 5… but that’s it…. they need to end it after that.
Well it seems like presently they are decided that it will end next week. I think most of the people who have issues with how the story has gone this season aren’t really fond of the comic book style of story telling. Maybe a 5th season could be picked up by another network, but I think, reguardless of how next week ends, that they should at least give us a mini series for closure. The World of ‘Heroes’ is just too big to fit into a feature film and do justice to the storytelling style.
