I’m a pretty big Heroes fan. This past episode was the season finale. Since the season is now over I thought I take a little time to gripe in a true nerd fashion.
Let’s start with the season finale itself. Either kill Sylar or don’t. I hate when a character gets ‘killed’ but then right at the end you have the shot that questions whether they’re really dead. It’s bullshit and it only exists so the writers can pull him out of the bag later to make an ‘oh shit’ moment.
There’s a guy who’s worse than Sylar? Gimmie a Fing break. I wonder what a future season is going to be about now? Again, it’s only there to pique people’s interest for next season. Here’s a hint NBC, I’m going to watch next season regardless. I like the story of the characters, not the boogeymen they’re fighting. I’d rather get more information about Primatech than a bullshit boogyman #2
Why didn’t Sylar stop Hiro from stabbing him? I suppose he saw the future and ‘knew’ that Peter was going to explode, but I think everyone’s reaction to a man running at you with a sword would be to dodge it, superpower or not. How come everyone’s powers work around the Hatian guy? In the future episode they said something about how powers don’t work around him.
They do deserve some sort of praise for such a cool show. "Call me Noah" – awesome. It changed most people’s opinions about him with one line. He went from being the mysterious bad guy to a super cool good guy.
I hope the next season stays as good and doesn’t fall into the same whirlpool that 24 has. The show doesn’t need a new villain every season. Rather, just reveal more of their characters and their past to us. I’m looking forward to the fall.
