I kill people when I weep? Deep.

Even the greatest of Heroes episodes were islands of entertainment in a sea of frustration. Viewership was up because people were waiting for greatness to happen – because when you give people super powers, the potential for creative story writing is literally limitless. What did we get instead? “Save the cheerleader, save the world.” “Someone will die, someone will fly.” The marketing staff of retarded kittens really had to work overtime on those ones.

And why did I have to spend an entire season – and ENTIRE SEASON – waiting for Peter to be strong and powerful again. Didn’t we do that last year? And then – when he finally does remember, he’s still a fucking idiot. Of course the same guy that thought he should head to New York to stop himself from exploding in New York would be the one to align himself with the most predictable villain of the season. And of course it took three people that he totally trusted to convince him that the guy who has admittedly killed at least three people is not the boy scout he promises to be. Someone needs to put him in room with some high functioning adults so he can absorb some IQ.

Any why did Adam need Peter to break into the Vault? Two powers he used to get in there…and one was to shut off the alarm.

Honestly, the whole season was just this bad…3 episodes in ancient Japan, Peter blindly following the man who says his identity is in a box, Matt (a detective) forcing Molly (a hemorrhoid) to pinpoint the exact door in an apartment building so he can track someone down, and Mohinder…Christ, Mohinder.

When you find out that the guy next to you isn’t half the threat he used to be, and to your left is a gun, and to your right is a knife, which one do you grab. The knife.

But that’s just one of his many failures. He’s another one that thinks every one of his most recent decisions is “the only way.” The company is bad, the company is good, the virus must be destroyed, I must shoot Noah Bennett – IT’S THE ONLY WAY! Which puts his mental capacity on the same level as Claire, who tried all but 5 seconds to come up with a plan before she settled on “I’ll just tell everyone.” IT’S THE ONLY WAY!

The only winner of this season is Hiro, who managed to lead the charge in the “episodes with stupid plots and poor costume design” category. At least he fucking figured out how to use his power. That officially makes 2 good guys who have fully realized their potential – him, and Micah. (Honestly, I only need to “accidentally” lift you with my mind once before I’m out back practicing on cars – why can’t these people figure themselves out?!)

And finally, Sylar – who actually said the words “I’m back.” That’s how the series ended. “I’m back.” Like we didn’t have eyes. The voice over is bad enough – Mohinder reminding me daily about the evolution of mankind and the choices between good and oh my god shut the hell up. But now, we actually have to have characters explain what we’re seeing right to our faces. “I’m back.” As if that hadn’t been happening since the very first episode…or rather the last of last season, which was equally disappointing.

It was really that bad – and I only hate myself more for knowing I’ll watch it when it comes back – because of it’s potential. When, oh when, will they team up? Do we really need to wait until Micah grows up before someone starts making good judgment calls?

As for Lost, and idea which isn’t mine: the plot in Lost is driven by characters making bad choices – we need Locke to do blindly follow his gut feeling so that he can screw up, and be redeemed. Do we really need that in Heroes? Can’t someone just…write a good story?

Chin up kid..

And ps.. Niki may be gone, but Jessica- that crazy bitch- lives on….
