The season may have taken a bit too much time to get off the ground, however I really liked the Hiro/Yaeko/Kensei storyline.

I bet West is a goner now too.

Least niki shoudl livenow :D that hes realziing core people should stay :)

I wonder which of the newbies stay. Monica? *fingers crossed*

I won't cry too much, but I like her the most.

me too she fits and shes great for micah since shes at least stability hes never had in the series

Surely Maya and Alejandro will be sticking around, they are too involved with Sylar to go anywhere now. Though West... I'm sure he's gone. As for Monica. I do hope she stays, although I see her as expendable as well. But I doubt the show will part with her, cuz she is just too kool. Elle and Adam will be sticking around as well.

~ the previous has all been just a matter of my own personal opinion.

as long as they dont kill niki or have her come down with some incurable virus :P

The Nile is not just a river in egypt it also splits my personality :P

Just hope the show doesn't do what Enterprise did to the Trip and T'Pol fans. Almost kill Trip about a million times and then kill him in the last episode in such a screw you kind of way.

"He saved us all." Blah. That would only work if the storyline plot supported it some.

Having Nathan saved from that explosion and then die of that virus will just be super sad! Blah! So, yeah we all have our degrees of crazy. LOL I'm only a little worried though.

Monica expandable? Yeah, probably. But I do like her.

Maya and Alejandro, important? Yes. But beyond this arch? Not sure yet. They are interesting. I am actually one of those people that like the newbies for the most part. I just don't want a mass killing spree of characters I love, you know?

Elle? I don't think she is going anywhere. But I guess we will see.

I'm glad he at least acknowledged this stuff, because while I love the show and would watch it regardless there are plenty of people jumping ship and more threatening to leave. I would hate to see the issues reviewers have go unnoticed to the point that it hurts the show -- like say moving it to Friday or Saturday before the show gets cancelled.

Anyway, the only new character I got somewhat attached to was Monica, she's likable, she has a cool new power, and she could probably get integrated into the story the easiest (besides Elle who already is in it). I have no feelings either way for the other new ones... which is probably worse. I imagine the fans don't like Maya and Alejandro because there's too many subtitles for a story that is going nowhere, and they don't like West because no one like an emo kid.

I hope Monica stays too.
She's somebody that's there for Micah, you know?
I hope Niki doesn't die either.
Just because she's such a well-developed character.
