I'd go further to say that if HEROES never answered the question, I wouldn't care
Agreed. I mean, is being bitten by a radioactive spider the most interesting thing about Peter Parker?
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

I'll probably stick with it unless (until?) they pull a genie out of their butt or something like that.
I've never given up on a show before 5 seasons, so I'll probably stick with it, too. But I'm at the point where I'm watching it to mock, not to flail.

I love the butt genie! It's just such a pure example of WTF?!?!? that I can't help loving it.
It almost makes Superboy-Prime PUNCHING A HOLE IN REALITY AND RAISING JASON TODD FROM THE DEAD look reasonable.

As far as I'm concerned, "Jumping the Shark" has been replaced by "Pulling a genie out of their butt" as a term for a show going off the rails. Anything that makes a Jesus banana slug look benign by comparison has some primo WTF?!?!??! going for it.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
....um, what show featured someone pulling a genie out of their butt? Because...because you sound like you're talking about an actual occurance, rather than a metaphor.

Be ascared. Be very ascared.
Technically the genie was crawling in and out, rather than being pulled, but since it was THE signature example of X-Files writers getting into the Monkey Crack, the phrase stands.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just watched the Butt Genie ep last night. For those who haven't seen it... Frank's description is apt, Vonnie's is funny but incorrect.
For JoA fans, the Butt Genie ep includes a young Luke Girardi as the boy Scully thought she was shooting.
