Isn't naming your puppy Sylar asking for trouble?

Isn't naming your puppy Sylar asking for trouble?

I think the trouble started even earlier than that -- that's the kind of cute that guarantees OMG HOLY TERROR.

Australian Shepherds come in miniature? Uh oh.

This cracked me up (even if I didn't agree with everything). James McNew, bass player of the band Yo La Tengo, on Heroes S2:

"Heroes" went straight into the super-toilet. The second season was a complete waste of time. Stories waddled off into dozens of torturously dull directions, none of which made any sense, or made me want to care why it didn't make sense. You can kill with your mind? Yawn. You can do things after you see them happen on TV? So can most people. Weeks went by without Hiro Nakamura. Jess advanced the plot by taking his shirt off in every scene. Hooray, thanks for adding a smug British jerk who lives forever — just what I was hoping for! Kristen Bell's superpower is her ability to make me mute the TV. Handsome teenage boys can fly (duh!). Stephen Tobolowsky is as intimidating as a shoe. Mohinder getting punched in the face was far and away the high point of the season, I rewound it and watched it three times. At least Ali Larter's character got blowed up (blowed up real good), but everyone knows it won't take. Ugh. I thought the first season of "Heroes" was very good, until it ended with a shameless cop-out. Oh sure, I understand how it could be unrealistic to kill every character at the end of your first (and therefore only) season, but come on, wouldn't that be awesome? I'll go ahead and answer that for you: Yes, yes it would be awesome. Go out on top, with dignity and shock. We would talk about your show in hushed tones forever and ever. You pussies. What happened to you, "Heroes," you used to be cool, but you changed, man.

that is hilarious.

I can't help but think that the impending writers' strike cramped this show's style. I hope S3 will be better or I think I will bail.

Ouch. Not a VM fan, I take it.

Stephen Tobolowsky is as intimidating as a shoe.

This made me laugh like a drain. It's funny 'cause it's true.

I kinda gotta agree with him on some points. I mean, the writers' strike, I think, is the primary thing that made it seem cramped and unfocused, and they probably had awesome sweeping epic arcs in mind when they started, but the end product was...not as good as I hoped.

I wanted more Hiro! Even MartyMcFly!Hiro was awesome! I didn't mind Takezo Kensei/Adam so much until he showed up in the present. That could have been awesome, but then they just relegated him to Generic Bad Guy with Generic Bad Guy Plot. "I'm going to unleash a virus and destroy the world! Because some dork stole my girl four hundred years ago. Wah me!" Dude. Four hundred years ago. You've had more than ample time to get the fuck over it. I would much rather if his Plot would have been "I'm killing these fuckers because they jerked me around. Once I'm done, I'm out. Oh, and there's this virus that probably somebody should destroy, but I'ma steal it just in case a new group of World Changing Fucktards forms and decides to bother my ass again." And then have him succeed and keep him in reserve as a constant potential threat ala Victor Von Doom.

Peter Petrelli has always annoyed me, so I was actually kinda relieved when they spent a lot of time making sure he didn't have much to do. "He's amnesiac! He doesn't know who he is!" Great, maybe we can take this opportunity to give him a less whiny-bitch persona, just...oh, crap. He got his memory back. He's still an idiot. Oh, well.

Mohinder needs to be shot into space.

Miracle Blood pisses me off. "He's dead. But he knows a guy so it's cool." There should be consequences to that. Like they're completely psychologically fucked up or something. Or a zombie.

And if Miracle Blood starts giving random folk superpowers as well as restoring superpowers, I give up.

Noah is still the coolest guy to walk the face of the Earth.

These are my random thoughts. There are more, natch, but they are even more muddled so I will spare you.

I can forvie alot because this season gave me Matt, Mohinder and Molly-- together! Sharing an apartment! So cute!

While I'll agree that the My Indian Wife (© Greg Grunberg) and Mama Petrelli subplots were fun to watch, most of my memories of Season 2 are of Elle smirking, Kenzei smirking, Maya weeping the tears of My Angst Can Kill You, Let Me Show You It, that annoying flying tool smirking, and Claire, Peter, & Mohinder acting like they'd had lobotomies.

Claire, Peter, & Mohinder acting like they'd had lobotomies.

Mohinder was acting like this long before this season.
