    Still hating on Heroes, huh? Can you put all the Heroes hate at the end so I can skip over it 🙂 . Just because you and all your friends don’t like it doesn’t mean that there aren’t plenty of people that still like and want to to know what’s going on. The fact that NBC is considering bringing it back next year must mean that they are happy with it’s performance. Anyway, I’m done.
