30 Days of Heroes - Day 19 - Least Favorite Episode - Villains
Usually I really enjoyed the flashback episodes. Company Man and Six Months Ago were epic. But Villains undid some major points in Sylar’s canon. I could easily see Gabriel being suicidal after murdering Brian. But the introduction of Elle into his past mucked things up. We had 2 seasons of Chandra pushing his buttons that drove him over the edge, and then they write in Elle delivering Trevor like a cheap pizza…. It was stupid. It wasn’t necessary for the story either. It was cringeworthy and it cheapened Sylar’s character development.
This episode also neutered Linderman by making Arthur the Big Bad all along. Please, Arthur wasn’t smart enough to control Linderman AND Angela. I don’t care what powers he had.
So other than Meredith, who had a pretty cool back story this episode failed.
