'''Suspension of Disbelief''' is a phrase used to describe a situation in fiction that requires the audience to purposely be ignorant for it to make decent sense. It also sometimes requires the audience to make up their own solution to an error. Given the nature of [[Heroes]], a show which involves time travel, flashbacks and powers which need to be consistently portrayed realistically, sometimes this occurs. It is also known as taking something with a pinch of sugar.
