Heroes - I admit it. I'm a traitor. I completely loved this show season 1 and turned into a total hater in season 2. Not only that, I was unwilling to believe that there was any way to salvage it in season 3 no matter what anybody said.
So what are my initial thoughts? These may seem strange because I am typing in real time, but here goes . . .
Likes:
1. A sense of purpose again. Peter has his powers. He's not completely clueless. He knows what is going on and he's supposed to save the world. Unfortunately it looks like he's got it all wrong.
2. We at least know what Mom's powers are now. And that she gave birth to everyone. lol.
3. Bob. He cracks me up. Oops. Now he's dead.
Dislikes:
1. OK, I hate when our Heroes are idiots.
a. So when did Claire turn into a colossal idiot? Oh yeah, last season. What is with writers making teenagers really really dumb? OK, but they managed to make me feel bad for her again. How do they do that?
b. Hiro. He used to be our hero. Our one shining light in a cast of dark characters. So, why are the writers hell-bent on making him completely unlikeable? At least it didn't matter that he opened the vial.
2. Are we really really really REALLY never going to get rid of Sylar? Sorry, but given the choice between keeping Sark, I mean, Adam and Sylar - who do you think we should choose? Ladies?
3. OK, I hate Mohinder. Have always hated him. Always will. He has always been a friggin idiot. His solution to Sylar is to give everyone super heroes? OK, yeah. You've thought this through.
4. The preview - the preview looks terrible.
Theories:
The end of the world is due to one person only. No. Not Sylar.
No. Not Adam.
It's Mohinder. If we killed him in season 1, we wouldn't be in this mess.
Mohinder discovers the formula - then someone in the future brings it back to the past to hide it. The fact that Hiro lets it out is irrelevant. Someone needed to kill Mohinder before he discovers it. I think they got Sylar to kill Mohinder's father mistakenly thinking he was the one to discover the formula. Ah well, those old heroes. They got a lot wrong, didn't they?
Questions:
Why in hell is everyone back alive again? Seriously? I'm lost and confused. We can't keep inventing more characters while not killing off the old ones because seriously? I'm getting too old to follow the complexities.
What? Nikki is now Tracey? She freezes people now?
Requests:
Can we get a tag line? I liked the tag lines.
