Line 199:
* [[Cosmic Deadline]]: Most notable during Volume 1 (Season 1) and Volume 2 (Season 2). For the former volume, even with a twenty-three episode story arc, the last three episodes' pacing noticeably sped up to the point of distraction. Events fell together quicker than usual, [[Idiot Ball]] after [[Idiot Ball]] got tossed around to make the characters move around improbably fast, and even the long awaited final confrontation teased over the course of the season ended far too fast. [[Word of God|Tim Kring]] stated that the production end ran out of time and money to let the plot properly develop, but sought to avoid such scenarios for the next season. Alas, that didn't quite happen, thanks to the writer's strike affecting production, which forced the creators to avert their initial plans.
* [[Couldn't Find a Pen]]: Sylar painting the future in his mother's blood. Sylar cutting his name into his forearm {{spoiler|while he was having his shapeshifting identity crisis}}. Sylar also leaves a note on the wall: "Sylar was here" in his victim's blood {{spoiler|also during the identity crisis}}.
* [[Crucified Hero Shot]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130609212447/http://heroeswiki.com/Image:Nine_inch_paintbrush.JPG Isaac gets one of these] when {{spoiler|Sylar kills him}} near the end of Season 1.
** Happens to {{spoiler|Nathan/Sylar}} twice in a single episode. Sorta.
* [[Cult]]: The Sullivan Bros. Carnival is run like one, complete with references to "the family", religious trappings, isolation, physical labor for no pay, and, of course, a charismatic leader with self-proclaimed prophetic abilities (which, unlike in real life, happen to be real).
