People who left felt the story went nowhere or too many stupid things happening. What makes you think a promo will lure them back in? Many viewers think it's all a mess now. Nothing is going to change. Viewers were high in the first season (and maybe parts of second) because they thought it was an X-Men show on primetime TV. The ship has been sinking for some time now. There's no hope. It's going to end this season or beginning of next.

Some people going to leave the show, for whatever reasons. The other thread explained it very well the reasons, it's just natural way of things!

Again, here it is and I couldn't said it better

I still love the show.... I agree that it does jump around a bit but with the amount of characters it kind of has to. In season 2 they tried to focus on a few characters per week but then we had to wait 2 weeks to see what was going on with Peter in Ireland while we were seeing what Hiro was doing in Japan. So now in Season 3 it feels like they are trying to cover all of the stories each week a little bit until they can tie them all together. I believe the true fans of the show will continue to watch, I do not believe they are losing viewers due to writing. People just stop watching shows sometimes because its too much, this season my wife and I cut out 2 or 3 shows just because it became too much tv to watch and the dvr was getting out of control. We chose to give up CSI Miami while others will choose to give up Heroes... such is life.

I and A lot of people don't feel the show suck now.

It's different than Season 1, of course, but I feel it's not getting worse as some think.

I WANT to know what's going to happen, Before heroes, Papa Petrilli's past, Sylar/Peter Power and Moral struggles ALL VERY interesting to me. BUT They just didn't promote enough for me to get excited about the future, no wonder nobody else NEW is coming to the show.

What they have done with the promotion is Lazy! What they have done with the firing of two lead writers is Copout but NOT the real answer/solution to problems (if Any) with the show!

The way they edit the trailer is Pathetic! I can even do BETTER! :no: They need to FIRE that person, to replace someone who CAN actually make appealing trailers.

Anway, yeah I miss Caitlin

Also, I am looking for COOL season 3 promo images, to make sigs/Avatars out of :)

But you can't go back... she was taken to a future that doesn't exist.

Then she is lost and will never be seen again, Season 2 was a complete write off tbh because of the writers strike.

It's poor writing, you shouldn't leave a key character like that in no where.

Why Key character?

I mean, she and Peter have a Relationship that still is Unsolved.

With Nathan and Matt's Ex-wife, they are different. They are divorced and going their own ways, so that should be resolved.

But Caitlin's resolution makes NO sense! It's like a cliffhanger that have no followup!

Also, bring back Monica and have her to useful rather than write her OFF the show!

Season 2 was poor writing fullstop. They've clearly decided to go in a different direction and I feel it's working; I'm not going to worry about a few minor characters, particularly when I wasn't bothered by them anyway.

Did Peter tell Caitlin "I am coming back for you" or didn't he?

I thought he did, but don't remember for sure; don't own S2 yet

She got captured but I don't he went back for her, heroeswiki says:

Out of Time

Caitlin and Peter search for people in New York, and are ambushed by a HazMat team. Both are forced to shower in a quarantine room, and decontaminated. Peter is told that Caitlin will be deported back to Ireland, and, after seeing her in a line of people supposedly about to be deported, Peter tries and fails to teleport them both back to the present.

      By Copernic · Posted

      Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player.

Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below).

Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability.

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account by Usama Jawad As things currently stand, Microsoft Edge only allows you to sign in to the browser with a Microsoft Account (MSA). This allows you to sync your browser settings and other data across other devices, as long as you sign in with the same account. However, Microsoft is now modifying this mechanism in a way that will likely please many users. In an update to its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has indicated that it will soon let users sign into Edge using a Google account from the profile menu and the Edge sign-in screen. This will be in addition to the MSA login option, and it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account. This brings several advantages such as the ability to sync your data across devices using just a Google account. It may even facilitate flexible single sign-on (SSO) experiences where you can quickly login to websites and services through a single Google account that is presented as the preferred sign-in option. Up until now, Microsoft allowed customers to indirectly use a Google account, by configuring a Google account as a Microsoft account, or by setting up a one-way sync option between Edge and Chrome. This is a rather interesting development, especially considering that Google Chrome still limits you to a Google account sign-in, but it will be interesting to see if the company reciprocates Microsoft's gesture in the future. This is not the only recent instance in which Microsoft has extended a handshake to Google via Edge. In April 2026, it began tracking the development of a work search banner for Google Search queries, just like the one present in Edge. However, if we go back almost seven years, to January 2020, Microsoft had emphasized that it had no plans to "integrate Google services into Microsoft Edge by default", in response to people requesting Google sign-in services on Edge. Fast-forward to today, and Microsoft is planning to release this feature in July 2026, with IT admins having the option to control its availability on Windows and macOS through the NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled policy.
