Heroes was ruined by the truncated season caused by the writer's strike. They had to scrap over half tje season and never picked up that story again.

They also had the problem of "meh" resolutions to their biggest plots.

And Sylar got so popular they felt they had to "rehabilitate" him.

And the carnival.
