Heroes season ... eh, volume ... er ... 2008-09

At least we get to see a James Bond commercial.

Suresh needs to see a doctor. His erection has lasted more than four hours.

 

I switched to CSI:Miami. Somebody let me know if I miss anything interesting.

 

Well, the Greatest American Hero just showed up as, ironically, NOT a hero!

 

that creamsicle-looking guy? his name's horatio.

 

What sucks is that there will be legions of fans watching this going "Awesome!!! Back to what made it good!" And yes, had this been last year's season premiere, it would have worked a lot better. But the damage has long since been done.

People are likely loving this two hours.

They have never read a comic book.

They have never seen "The Fly."

They are seduced by every "twist" this season premiere has offered.

These writers have gone to the "Bad Future! Oh NO!!!!!" well way too many times. Mrs. Petrelli's dream was more of the same. When you have two characters who can travel effortlessly through time, when you have established that you're not afraid to deus ex machina deaths away with healing blood, and when you don't have the guts to write Ali Larter out of the show no matter how much of a "Keanu reeves in Much Ado About Nothing" screeching halt she brings to the proceedings every time she is on camera . . . . then you've lost the ability to shock.

Dammit. I really liked this show two years ago.

 

And now "Electro" breaks all the "bad guys" out of "The Raft"?? Really?

 

I don't mind the individual powers . . .we all knew it would be this way. Just put them in interesting situations, and um, TRY real hard to come up with a major plotline that doesn't involve someone named Petrelli.

LOVED the Iceman thing just now.

 

Yea, that was pretty cool.

 

And . . . .Suresh turning into Brundlefly is the frackin' living end.

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!!?

HONESTLY.

BLAHBLAHBLAHLY.

 

Are you even sure that's Suresh??

 

NICE save on the Linderman issue.

Also liked the way the Villains were released. Thought Sylar would just break then out.

 

Marlo from The Wire shows up!
