The biggest fault with it seems to have just come recently. The new big bad, Samuel, has just had Hiro's girl Charlie, who Hiro went back in time to save (finally after what? 2-3 seasons later), sent to some undisclosed place in time by Samuel's own time traveler, an act that kills that minion.Big Plot Hole:Why didn't Hiro just go back a few minutes ago (like he does many times later in trying to get it right in saving Suresh) to take Charlie with him before Samuel is any the wiser?Simple answer:This never happened because it would have killed the current season and probably the series.

Big Plot Hole:

Why didn’t Hiro just go back a few minutes ago (like he does many times later in trying to get it right in saving Suresh) to take Charlie with him before Samuel is any the wiser?

Simple answer:

This never happened because it would have killed the current season and probably the series.

Their power works by preventing their cells from dying, ie they are in stasis even though their cells can't get oxygen. Since the Haitian was there, Arthur's cells started to die. (The living-with-no-oxygen concept is proven when Adam is in the coffin; he doesn't die, but doesn't have enough air to live forever.)If Arthur can time travel, he can go back to ANY time during ANY episode, so it doesn't matter. Why he chose to get the catalyst at that specific moment is unknown. Perhaps he had to wait for the catalyst to get transferred to someone new?

And he's intelligent enough to mindf**k/play with liars once he catches them in lie.

Of course the real problem with it is the same one as with Matt's power - that the users were *morons*. If you can read minds, be subtle about it! Don't say "you're lying" so everyone knows, just remember who lies to you and don't trust them! Oh God, the lie detector power.

Plot holes and extreme oddities and characters acting extremely stupid is sort of a staple of old comics, and in that regard they do a really good job on Heroes.But it doesn't make good TV. If you watch it as a comic nerd (I'm guilty of that) then it makes you smile, but to the casual watcher Heroes is... well, weird to say the least. I don't want to call it bad, because, well, it is still much, much, MUCH better than a lot of stuff you see, but it's certainly not a gem when it comes to cinematic arts.

Sylar is a way better villain.ps. "cake?" best line ever ok, the hatian’s power DOES have a blanket effect, but because Arthur was fighting it the Hatian was focusing his power.

He had to focus on Arthur because Arthur was so powerful. He even mentions that in the show I think...As for the cut, the pause in the Haitians ability allowed Arthur to cut Peter, he obviously had the same kind of power as Sylar, the cutting thing. That or something else happened with Sylar that they had to cut out of the show.Arthur probably had to wait until Hiros mother had given the catalyst to someone before he could steal it, maybe it wasn't activated until then or something.
