Heroes - Distractions
This show is starting to piss me off. Yep, I said it, it's starting to piss me off. I would have been fine with the show, but listening to the promos on the radio for this particular episode, you'd think it was the second coming. "If you haven't seen one episode of Heroes make sure you watch this one..blah blah blah, whatever.
OK, here are my problems with it - Sylar - why didn't he just kill HRG dude when he had the chance? WTF? He had no problem killing the good doctor, but when he could have exacted his revenge, why didn't he? I know he's a main character of the show and you really can't kill him off just yet, but come on writers, at least throw in some drama with the breakout.
Hiro - again way too much time spent on his family life and how his daddy has issues with his weird son. So his sister definitely wears the sibling pants, and coming from the Japanese culture they are a bit cold to women in key business positions, but strictly no bearing on the story line.
Niki - more wasted film time, though we did get to see her rear end when they injected her - so, that wasn't too bad.
Ah yes, the surprise, Natan Petrelli is Claire's dad - even though I was positive it was Linderman. Damn, I hate being wrong. Seems that Petrelli likes to get around. Now that begs another question, how did they meet? Were they being tested? What's the connection? We now have our second family of genetic anomalies.
This is slowly turning into a bad soap opera - maybe the writers didn't expect to get picked up for the entire season? Who knows, but if they don't start getting back to the story line, this will be one slow I will no longer waste my time watching.
