Heroes this week was actually Villains and yet that still couldn’t save it from it’s slow decent into Hell. The only thing waiting for it at the bottom is an empty bottle of vodka and a soggy packet of cigarettes.
I thought “Hang on, this might actually be interesting! This might be one of those episodes that won’t make me feel like someone is shoving an oversized carrot up my nose” but alas, i was wrong. The concept was on mark but the execution was so poorly done i felt the need to weep for Tim Kring. What the fuck was he doing while this episode was being written? Fucking Donald Duck in the ear?
I can understand that writers are given a certain amount of leeway with the episodes that they write but Tim Kring is the one that’s approving these fucking episodes. Is he asleep? Has he perhaps been taken over by a Smiletime! puppet while everyone was busy watching the train wreck that is now, offically Heroes?
The start of the season was strong but i don’t think you need to say “WTF?!” more than once when watching a Televsion show and their need to constantly shock the audience got old fast. There was some information missing from the episodes that might have been nice for the viewer to have right off the bat. And i can’t be the only one that is sick to death of the ‘Time travel’ angle.
We get it. No really. Hiro and Peter can travel through time. LET THE FUCKING HORSE DIE! stop whipping the poor bastard.
The only thing that’s really rocking my boat this season is the Gabriel/Sylar progression. I was a fan of Sylar’s from the get go. I love me a good villain and he was seriously giving me what i wanted and i really didn’t mind that he became a Hero, in my opinion it’s ok to let a Hero become a Villain so long as you replace him with someone suitable. So far they’ve failed to do this. And then to discover that he is infact a misguided creation of the Companies is just reatrded. Like… window licking retarded.
I liked that he and Elle had a thing but i wasn’t sure where it came from, it felt like an after thought, the kind you have after you let your boyfriend cum on the sheets only to remember you don’t have any clean ones to replace it with.
The discovery that Flint was Meredith’s brother was another pointless act for me. It also added some more fundamental questions to my ever growning pile. For example, it seems that when a family has powers they all fall into the same kind of catagory. The Daddy and Mummy Petrelli both have mind powers and to a large extent the father seems able to take powers away. Peter can absorb powers from people and Gabriel can also ‘learn’ powers, thus taking them away. Nathan can fly but that’s not important because his power was given to him in a lab.
But this rule doesn’t seem to apply to anyone else. It’s all somewhat confusing.
Too many characters, not enough time to tell the stories and all you end up with is something similar to a group of 15 year olds trying their hardest to have an orgy but really only accomplishing sticking their soft, soggy peen’s into someone’s ear.
Someone better do something soon or all that’s going to happen is a great concept is going to become and example of what not to do when you have an awesome TV show.
