Heroes

[Madame Adequate]

Worst episode of the season.

Promptly followed by the best episode of the season. That was even better than most of Season 1, and would probably have been an absolute classic of TV if it had come in the middle of a disciplined, on-track show.

The only real thing that bugged me here was the Hiro stuff, but Hiro's been annoying for a long time anyway. And one thing that confuses me: I thought 9th Wonder was done by Isaac? He died a long time ago, in continuity, and even in the unlikely event that he did comics this far ahead of time AFAIK he died when the Linderman nuking NYC plot was still going on. So how's 9th Wonder got this stuff in it?

Interesting to see Hiro manipulate people in frozen time. I don't recall him doing that before and I was unsure of if it was possible and how it might work. Seems very simple!

Sylar + Elle stuff was awesome. Every Petrelli was awesome. Daphne's finally losing her all-consuming fear. Claire did not annoy me. Would have been better if Hiro and Ando had been out of the episode, partly because their stuff made little sense and partly because theirs was the weakest part, but otherwise that was pretty Grade A.

I liked this episode. I didn't find last week's bad either, though.

Last week's TV guide said the two coexecutive producers were fired. The article stated they were axed after the pair continuously ignored Kring's attempts to steer the show into cleaner storytelling and return to character-driven plots like the first season's, even after the ratings started to plummet. Interesting to see how the rest of the season turns out.

Elle and Sylar should get their own show, where they travel around to people who are just discovering their powers and help them learn to control them. Every once and a while they get a pop in from their 'old friends' Noah Bennet or Senator Nathan Patrelli. The antagonist is played by a resurrected Adam Monroe who is trying to enlist these people into his villains gang in order to take over the world or some other charmingly devilsh plot. Now that would be a show!

Good episode! Team Angela all the way lol! Atleast the stories are comming together!

I still find it funny that Peter's all like..."im trying to prevent the bad future from happening" yet he somehow becomes somewhat responsible for those events that lead up to those "apocalyptic" future episodes lol!

Elle and Sylar better come out alive!

I thought this episdoe was the worst ever. For a start the dialogue is all just plain terrible. I know it was never the BEST writing, but it fit the feel of the whole thing and wasn't bad. I found that every response by any character in this episode was easily predictable to anyone who has watched a 90s action film... in a bad way.

And Sylar needs his memory erased. He has turned into such a little bitch. Even Peter is more badass than him now without power. Sylar smiling and falling in love is just plain wrong.

It seems like whoever wrote this episode knows nothing about the characters and just followed whatever plotline he was told to and used all the tricks in the oldest book.

I have, up until now, never been disapointed with a single moment of Heroes. I thought season 2 was great.

I cannot stand Peter Petrelli! Still on his high horse like last year never happened!

I still haven't recovered from when they killed Adam. I loved that guy, I was so happy when Hiro dug him up but then he goes and dies.

Best characters would have to be Noah and Sylar. Matt's good too, but he doesn't really do much. I thought the spirit walk guy was pretty cool.

[Madame Adequate]

I'm impressed with how totally they ballsed up what could have been a great storyline regarding Sylar. Last week's ep was so great there, the changes, the symbolism of Sylar being stripped away leaving Gabriel, all that stuff, and now it's like he's still Sylar just in love.

[Del Murder]

This whole show is ballsed up. Noah is the only watchable character left.

So I guess their powers are fueled by the yellow sun.

[Rantz]

The whole thing is probably just photosynthesis or something.

[Flying Mullet]

I'm having problems figuring out what's happening here. Did Arthur use Maury's powers to mess with Hiro's mind? And why wouldn't he take his powers?

Because people love Hiro and it would hurt ratings. Also, if Arthur took Hiro's powers they would have been stuck in the desert and it would have been harder to write a story for them. That was strictly ratings/writing driven and not character driven.

So I guess their powers are fueled by the yellow sun.

Next week they introduce Clark Kent.


I'm so-so on this show now. I enjoy watching it in the same way I watch a new X-Men or Spiderman movie: it's entertaining but I'm not expecting a "smart" story.

[Madame Adequate]

Oh, and what's really bugging me is Elle. They have NO idea what to do with her character. One week she's a sensitive, unhappy, vulnerable girl who was made into something she doesn't like by forces beyond her control. Last season she electrocuted a man to death basically for the lulz. Then she's all girly-cute with Claire. Then she's trying to make Sylar a killer and destroy that whole empathy thing. Ugh. Then again, who has been consistent here?

[LunarWeaver]

I want the Elle electrocuting a man for the lulz. I hope she's coming back... and stays at least for a few episodes.

[~*~Celes~*~]

Ok, I'm not entirely sure how i feel about what's going on.

They could have easily just taken away Peter's abilities, stuck Sylar on Arthur's side, and wrote it so that we have to watch all the characters with their separate abilities take down Arthur together. Sylar, who is battling with his inner demons and questioning if he's following the right path or not, sees how Angela's team is sticking together, they're working as a team, and they're supporting each other, whereas Arthur's team is full of power-hungry, manipulative, cold and distant people. He questions which path he wants to follow, thinks about how Elle makes him feel...supported, loved for who he is despite that he's a monster, etc.

Arthur kills Elle because she fails at something, so Sylar joins Angela's forces to take Arthur down. Arthur, of course, has both a great advantage and a great disadvantage. Disadvantage being that he's got so many people against him, including Sylar. Advantage being that he can take powers away. So, he takes away a couple of people's powers, probably everyone but Sylar, and it's just Arthur and his team vs. Sylar. Either Sylar wins as is typical of the "heros vs villains" theme, or a twist causes Arthur to win instead, and either the season ends, along with the show, or if Arthur wins, then a few years later, new heroes show up or something.

Was that Seth Green or am I losing my mind? xD
