But only one time. Not like in heroes. Now I miss that show.

Same... but only the first season of Heroes was good.

The second season suffered from a writer's strike and they went a completely different direction. That was the season with Hiro in Japan.

The third season tried to follow up the first season by ramping up all the stakes, and it was kind of a shit show. The season was not well received by fans.

The fourth season, like the second, went a different direction. That was the carnival season. Panettiere appears at the very end of it to promote something — a movie, a fifth season — but people were so done with it that that never happened.

Specifically:

::: spoiler spoiler She took a swan dive off a tall structure, a crane IIRC, to show that she could survive the fall, and announced herself as a super being or whatever they called those with powers on that show. The world collectively gasped and it was implied there would be more, but that was the last moment of the final season. :::

For anyone considering: stop with the first season. The third season adds some context, but after the first season, it's largely irrelevant.

See also, Prison Break. Good show. A bit ridiculous (he really got the prison's blueprints inked on his back? They let him do that? Then they locked him up IN THAT PRISON? And since it's on his back he just gets other people to look at it, because he can't just remember the layout? And they put him in the prison with his brother, which was the whole reason he staged the bank robbery? Show's premise is dumb as hell. But they make it work. First season is great. Second season is a whole different show. (They're all out and it's a treasure hunt.) Third season, they gotta break out of a foreign prison. Fourth season, international treasure hunt. Followed by an ending nobody liked. Followed by a TV movie that retcons the bad ending. Again — we don't rewatch past the first season.

AFAIK no cause of death has been announced, so this comment is a non sequitur.

It sure seems like the celebrities I am aware of commit suicide at a higher rate than the people I directly encounter in life. Is that a thing?

Wasn't she a child actor? They seem to have it extra rough compared to people getting into Hollywood later in life.

Read the article...? Literally the first sentence says "child star".

I've read other articles yesterday which pretty much said the same stuff, just didn't notice the mention of child star.

This one has rumors around her of mother/parents selling her off as a child. Yachting stories etc etc. this is no surprise.

Given how horrible even the tip of this epstein-berg of the holly-wienstein-wood is, I wouldn't be surprised at all. It's hard for normal people even to comprehend this, not even saying to grow up and live in that.
