Heroes, Season 3
"Hiro, whatever you do, don't open the safe."
"Ando, I must open the safe immediately! Despite my father's express wishes, against all my cultural instincts as a Japanese to obey without question my ancestors dying pleas, and despite his dire and boneheadedly explicit warning that it will lead inexorably and directly to the end of the very world I have now saved twice already. I must open, nay! Ando, I am compelled to open this safe! Right now! And LO! My father has conveniently left behind this handy electronic safe opener gizmo in this unguarded box on my desk, and I seem to know the combination to this safe without even trying!....and what's this?! Upon opening this safe and holding up this dire formula that leads to the very destruction of the world, why immediately a thief steals it! A thief with the power of super speed! But I can stop time and I COULD take the formula out of her hand and say, I don't know, burn it, or eat it or, fuck, just put it back into the safe when she's frozen..and I could, if I was a dick you know, maybe stab her in the heart with this letter opener, but..you know what...I won't do that, although I could. In fact, any real human being with my powers in this situation WOULD do exactly that. No, I won't. I will let her get away with it and once again put the fate of the entire world into chance's hands just so I can create another silly plot device to keep this trainwreck rolling. And so that Mohinder can get his sex on with the sexy latina death chick."
"Hiro, That is a brilliant plan!"
"Thank you Ando...now quick..to the Gay Cave!"
The amazing thing is, you can do this for every character in the show.

Ha! I completely agree with you. There are so many scenes that are just so blatantly stupid and could have been avoided or better developed. Oddly enough, however, I keep watching... yeah...
