I'm sure plenty of people dislike those characters and I understand their reason for doing so. As I hope you can see from my reply, it's difficult to continue liking a character when the writers seem intent on making him ridiculous in term of his profession or other characteristics you identify with.

I really hope you don't see me as frothing with rage, because for the most part I just crack jokes about how bad the science. I only get really angry at the show when the Mohilogues of the first season misrepresent evolution and that has more to do with the fact the media and public in Canada and the US seem to be so undereducated about the subject and propegation of this kind of misinformation is annoying.

Well, obviously not.


Did you actually bother to read what I wrote? I don't mid the fact that the superpowers are scientifically questionable or that none of the related things make sense. What bothers me is when the writers take real things, such as antibodies or natural selection and use them without regard for what they are simply to lend scientific legitimacy to the plot. If they want to use antibodies to explain something they might want to understand what they are first. If they want to use natural selection in the opening monologues they may want to understand what the process actually entails. These are simple things that good writers do.

Hm, no, you came across as "frothing with rage" rather than someone who merely likes to joke about bad science on a television show.
Why else would you attack a single character, talk about wanting to throw things and wanting to stuff socks into his mouth?

So you have issues with the science on Heroes in general. So... what does that have to do with Mohinder? I honestly don't follow here. Why would you single him out and say you dislike the character?

Oh, actually...
I have friends who have issues with how Japanese culture and history is shown on Heroes, since they happen to know that it's not how things are in real life at all, and sometimes they roll their eyes at it. But they still don't rant against Hiro and Ando and talk about the evil things they want to do to them. Threy actually like them, and I think this is because they don't primarly see them as representant of Japan, but as characters with personal issues, emotions, goals and all that.

You seem to see Mohinder as a representant of genetics and science and nothing else. And this sort of leads us back to "people too stupid to appreciate Mohinder, their loss".
