The Replacement aspect of S4 bothered me more than the Tritter Arc (although honestly. HONESTLY? the Tritter Arc is high up there on my list of DO NOT WANT for my Shiny Doctor Show)! It's not that I minded a shakeup, exactly, or that the original ducklings were replaced (all at once), but I don't find any of the new cast members to be as sympathetic as the old ones, especially Kal's character who seems be given sporadic moments of insight to compensate for his otherwise superficial character interactions, development, etc. Sure, I think he's funny, cute and likable because of that, but it's a different kind of emotional connect, and I liked what the show presented before better. Even including Cameron. Er, so that's my two cents, anyway. :D
As long as I have you with me on the S1 journey, I will be fine. I HOPE. HOLD MY HAND AND GUIDE ME RIGHT. I TRUST YOU WITH IMPLICIT CANDOR.
I don't watch Monk either, but STILL. That's awesome. It's always pretty exciting to see production crews set up locations. And it's even better when you get to sneak a peek at the stars. :>
YEAH, SORRY. DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED. D8 (Posted the comment and I was like ODAMN.)
APPARENTLY 320 DEVIANTART GENIUSES AGREE WITH ME ON THE TRITTER ARC SO kill me now but yeah, I can see where you're coming from in regards to Kal Penn's character, though again, I think that backing away a little from the easy retreads they can do with the original, already-established ducklings might give the writers some more time to develop their new characters rather than only giving us snippets of insight about the deeper facets of their characters, which, as you pointed out and which I agree with, have been lacking. D: BUT HAY WE GET HOUSE/WILSON STUFF NOW WOOOO.
Yeah screw spoilers I WANT TO BE THERE WITH YOU ANYWAY. It's kind of like 24 with leaving you on a cliffhanger EVERY SINGLE EPISODE (in a good way) and with GOOD twists and GOOD too-convenient coincidences (since that's kind of what the show is all about, aha) and GOOD, INTERESTING instances of characters going darkside (aka POWER-TEMPTED Nathan rather than BIBLE-THUMPING Father Petrelli) and... man.
Want to know a secret about Heroes fans? The reason most of us keep watching the show is because we're waiting for Season 1 to come back to us like a long-lost lover. It's like Waiting for Godot, except with torture.
