Sorry guys, but I'm dunzo with Heroes. I can't tell you how many time I yawned last night. Not only are they seriously lacking in storyline, but they also have the nerve to not move things forward. Okay they ARE moving the story along, but at a snails pace. I don't think people who are defending this show really remember how it was when they watched the first season and the endless possabilities it presented. I don't see this show lasting more that another season. C-
Rob, I hope you are not caving into all those people complaining about your negative reviews. This was maybe a "D" and I stress MAYBE>
The writing for this show still sucks though its my understanding Loebs writing is still going to be around till about episode 17 (is that correct)? It's not even worth going into all the problems with yet another episode. Most of you can see all of that for yourself. I think if Sylar kills all the Heroes and rules the world they can still save this show. In fact I'm rooting for all the heroes to die they are all so stupid...someone, please cut off Hiro's head already and dump that character.
I just want to know what everyone that likes this show honestly sees in it. Do you really think the writing is that good or characters are not that stupid, etc, etc? I'm not saying that to bash the fans of this show I'm just really curious. I always use the Star Wars prequel syndrome...that those movies sucked beyond belief but because everyone WANTED them to be so good they see what they want to see and miss all the obvious flaws. Is Heroes the same way?
I guess I will partially disagree with Hobbs ( you could say i would be Calvin to his Hobbs). I liked this epi - it was much better than last week's. I am on par to what Rob wrote in the Good, Bad & Prognosis section so I would agree with his B-/C .
As far as the characters go i do agree with Hobbs - they are stupid, especially Hiro who acts like a little bee-yatch (the uestion I ask each week is when he will grow a pair). All these people have all these powers and still get caught up in some trap each week - in that area area the writers of the show must improve.
And Hobbs come on - Episode 1 would have been good if they just kept out JarJar and the whole immaculate conception thing.
WOW! I cant believe I agree with Rob's review. And No Hobbs, I don't think he's succumbing to the crybaby complainers of his previous reviews (like me).
I like this ep, because it seemed to go back to the frmula that made Heroes fun, and it looks like it could be setting the stage for some really cool events to come, we'll have to see. I was also fooled at the end, I thought HRG was drugged by his own govt. buddies, but turned out to be the heroes. I like Ando's storyline, but I wish Hiro would get his story moving forward again, it seems like with Hiro it's always 1 ste forward, 2 steps back. Love claire, sooooo hot, and I like that she is still drive to help, and inadvertanly busted her parents up. Sylar is sweet, I like that he's badass again, and even like that he likes having a little protege around, even though he won't admit it
I wanted to type more, but this is the third time I'm typing this because every F-ing time I hit backspace to re type something the browser goes back to the home page. I seriously would like all of these bugs out of mania, it would be nice.
Anyway cool episode, fun viewing, and thats all heroes ever was. It's not the best show on TV (I reserve that spot for a two way tie between Dr. Who, and BSG)
Braveheart See ya later, but I'll bet dollars to donughts you'll be back.
While i have loved heroes this season has still focused on the things that have driven me nuts.
The Bad (In some cases very bad)
1. Clair's insistant whining. I have gotten to the point that she makes me ill when she's on screen.
2. The nurfing of Hero that whole story line has gone from bad to worse.
3. Sylar trips always take to long have have boring "sidekicks" let's. Please Please Please get to the point so he can continue to be the bad a** we know he is.
The Good
1. I like Nathan is the bad guy as i never really liked him since the 1st season.
2. Nice to see Peter and Matt working together that's really cool and about time.
3. The "Fugative" story idea has merit and is logical for higher-ups to be fearful when faced with people with uncontrolled powers. Has a much more grounded in reality feel to it vs society embracing super heros.
C for this episode... I hope it gets better soon.
So far I like this arc better than Volume 3. It's different. Volume 1 was great. Volume 2 was good, but took too long to build up and had to rush to finish to beat the strike. Volume 3 jumped right into the story but how many fucking times can you go into the FUTURE!?! Seriously NO MORE TIME TRAVEL!! I had been hoping for a more personal, man vs man story arc for sometime. You can only stop so many global events before it gets tiring.
What was the point of Hiro & Ando's storyline this episode? They stopped a wedding so they could get a fax?
Better than the last 2 weeks to be sure...Still much work to be done. Fuller doesnt come on till ep 19 apparantly...Anyone know when that is?
One upshot for me: Ali Larter is bangin hot when she's all sweaty and pissed.
What I think this show needs is a REAL antagonist. Sylar is my favorite character in the series (best line last night, "OK, technically Im a serial killer") but he's to sypathetic to serve that purpose. I thought papa Petrelli was gonna filll the role, but he was never insidious enough and then he *SPOILER* died.
If X-men is the unofficial source material, then bring on Apocalypse or someone equally as menacing.
