Mr. Fuller, you slay me

Bryan Fuller Leaves Heroes, Yet Again

I am not surprised at all. Am I gonna be watching Season 4...yes. Am I gonna enjoy it...we'll see.

It's just sad to see a show that was actually good struggling so much. Crappiness is what I can expect from something like the CW (SPN excluded) or Spike or Lifetime or Oxygen. I want to like Heroes. I do! But when they:

• Rehash the same storylines over & over & over & a little bit more (we get it, Claire wants to be normal©! Hiro wants to be a hero©!)
• With all the retconning it's hard to like it. Retconning can be ok when it makes sense but when Heroes writers do it, it's clear they're just doing to serve the storyline and not showing what a character might or might not do.
• They're afraid of killing anyone from the original cast (except y'know: Simone, Issac & DL...hmmm) but also ok with getting rid of likeable secondary characters. Nathan has died at every season finale and yet manages to be around the very next one, without fail. I like Nathan but he could have died the first time around and guess what? The Petrellis could have dealt with that!  I get it, finding a cast with such great chemistry is hard to find and pretty damn awesome but...come on!
• Mohinder/the writers do not understand the meaning of having a Ph.D in genetics/being a geneticist. Having a doctorate means you're a doctor only in the field in which you studied. There's no leeway in that.
• I remember way back when, the tagline of the show was ordinary people with extraordinary abilities. What happened to that? I liked that. They were completely normal people still having to deal with real lives and the fact that hey, they suddenly have abilities. I can't really think of any specific details now cause I'm tired but I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about.

Sadly the only reason I went back after Volume 3 was because of the Superbowl commercial. I saw ZQ/Sylar...it's extremely shallow but look at him.

I'll be there in September, the sado-masochist that I am.
