Kring: if you want me to stop watching your show, just ask me to nicely.

[forsquilis]

Correct me if I'm wrong...but didn't the commercials for tonight's episode list a bunch of questions about last season that it promised would be answered...and one of those questions was "What happened to Sylar after he was stabbed in Kirby Plaza"?  Was I hallucinating that?  Even though I'm pretty sure I heard that commercial multiple times?

Nope, you weren't hallucinating. Not one little bit.

I'm irate at this moment in time. Simply irate.

Kring's very lucky that I am heavily medicated and my throat is raw from this cold, or I would be screaming so loudly he'd be quaking and asking for help from the witness protection people.

I had things I was going to try to do tonight, but I'm now going to bed before I just start ranting incoherently.

Seriously. If NBC wants me to start watching Monday Night Football instead of this show, all they need to do is ask.

*clings*

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Everyone on my flist is all SQUEE!! OUR SHOW IS BACK!! And I'm just like WTF? Where?? What did I miss???

[forsquilis]

Maybe I was just too into hearing about Sylar. But someone said in the Heroes Meet Market at TWoP today "eh, tonight is nothing new". Initially I disagreed, but about 8:30, I thought..."that's how I feel. Almost everything I'm seeing is stuff I guessed or stuff I picked up from NBC-approved promos." Even the anticipation that at SOME POINT I was going to see Sylar didn't make the rest of the ep exciting...then I realized it was 8:58 and I got PISSED OFF

I'm pretty sure I heard it, too. But we kind of know. Candice/Michelle/Betty took him and the Company fixed him up, and then he escaped.

I hate the twins even more and Kring sucks so much ass.

Also, it looks like next week the Saya stuff will be going again, if there is a sex scene I am so done after this stunt. I wipe my hands of this show until the new people die in episode 11.

[forsquilis]

You know what? I just realized I don't even remember if there was a preview for next week at the end of this episode. I basically just tuned out the last 30 seconds.

Another reason a Sylar-Maya sex scene would bother me is that, once again, they've stressed Maya's religious tendencies, plus, Maya made a big deal about how Alejandro had only known his bride for four months. So if Little Miss I Ran And Hid With The Nuns suddenly peels off her panties for a guy she's known for less than a week, I'll be utterly disgusted with BOTH of them.

I really should not have prayed for Candice's death over the summer. I could have enjoyed watching Sylar mess with her, because we knew she had done horrible things to other people.

No, you weren't hallucinating. I am still seething about that. And the lack of Sylar wasn't the only thing wrong with this episode.

The promo department needs a serious talking to. First it was the ridiculous BOX shit and now we're getting lied to.

I really hope that what you said on aelora's post is true, about TPTB thinking of something new for Sylar and then taking out his parts from 4MA. I would also be a lot happier if this means they're taking out more Saya scenes as well.

Despite the fact that I complain a lot, a piece of me DOES always try to look for a bright side. And I did come up with that thought. But again...they should have taken that line out of the commercial if they decided to remove him last-minute.

I hate to be conspiracy-theorist, but I do increasingly wonder if TPTB just plain decided over the summer that they made a mistake in keeping Sylar alive and are trying to kill off his fanbase. (And yes, "What's in the box" was the lamest. Fucking. Tagline. EVER.)

[angary]

Yeah, I was gonna say that they could have taken that line out of the promo but if you end up correct, then I'll just chalk it up to laziness or miscommunication.

I KNOW! It annoys me because Zach's a regular and he's in even less scenes than he was last season. I thought we were going to see more of him but now that he's attached to the twins' storyline, one of the WORST storylines of the season, a lot more people are calling for his death. I wish he'd have gone it alone or even with Candice.... sigh. I really hope they all end up serving some kind of purpose soon, because I don't want him to die just yet.

[forsquilis]

I don't WANT Sylar dead, but...at the same time, I am utterly lost as to why he's on the show any more. I liked the story in his first episode this season, was somewhat curious the second, and have been bored as shit ever since. And...let's see, he was in episodes 3, 4, and 5. Was he in 6? See? That's how bad his story has been...I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER WHICH EPISODES HE'S BEEN IN. A CHARACTER WHO LAST SEASON WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TV CHARACTERS EVER

[fergyk0416]

I WAS PISSED TOO! You are not alone!

[forsquilis]

I wasn't overly impressed with this episode anyway. But when I got to the end and realized NO SYLAR EVEN THOUGH THEY PROMISED, my attitude went poisonous.

I really can't believe Tim Kring seriously said this is one of the best episodes they've ever made. Even if I was into Shirtless!Peter, I still would have been like...wow, the twins were always boring and Elle was always annoying! Thanks oh so much for showing me that again, instead of telling me why the Haitian is still working for the Company or how Bennet managed to get his hands on enough money to relocate his family or...eh, I'm just going to shut up and save it for a full post after I've gotten in a better mood.
