Guess the writer's strike may mean it will be whether we want it or not.
That depends on a lot of things, including how long the strike lasts. It may not last long at all. It might change everything. We shall see.
If they could write romance properly - and there's no reason they can't - romance would fit on this show as well as on any. They just haven't found the right angle, and there's no reason they should, or that they need to. It's the shoehorning it in when it doesn't fit the characters or make a good story, that's the problem.
So I'm not really looking for romance themes in "Heroes", but I'm not against them, either. I just want them, if they happen, to be worthy of the characters involved. A lot depends on acting ability and the scripts. I think many people liked the Claire/Peter chemistry - until he turned out to be her uncle.
And yes, there is terrific subtext.
The last episode seemed like a strong step in the right direction.
