I am always hugely amused at the notion that US series ought to be given ten more hours to wrap things up.
That's a half-fair point. Ten more hours would be a half-season and therefore be able to do an "end storyline" rather than a "wrap things up". However, I don't think four hours is too unreasonable given that there's still a good main six - ten characters in it (and a few others that could be mentioned as having closure). OK, LotR has more characters but mostly they act in groups.
My view of Heroes is that they wanted to wrap Heroes up, they should have used the twenty or thirty hours of it in which nothing much happens.
Not an unreasonable view. But, given that they didn't, I'd like a bit of closure to the story.
