I don't blame Samuel, I blame the writers.
Heroes 1: We Could Be Heroes
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! 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. Chuffa, Chuffa!
But do you blame Hiro? And Peter?
I tend to give Hiro a break for being hopelessly naive. Peter is blinded by love. But the writers are ultimately responsible for both those things and for making Claire a dipshit as well.
Todd Stashwick was also the NBC exec on CYE. The actor has grown on me lots.
Nathan dies by falling off a building but then Sylar walks away? Ugh. Nathan was his own anvil, and it still felt off. Also, Peter better feel guilty for every bad thing Sylar does from now on, because he so should have killed him when he had the chance, and he knew that. Either way, I'm holding him responsible.
Who was Samuel talking about at the end as his real target? Gretchen?
Belatedly, but I totally thought the Puppetmaster was dead last time we saw him. Didn't Sylar deliver him to Danko as a present? I guess he wasn't dead at the time.
And WTF, when did Claire get all huggy with him?
I assumed Sylar killed him or that Danko wouldn't let him out or that Claire wouldn't hug him. So much for assumptions.
That was the end of my empathy for Claire.
Huh, I haven't watched this season yet except the opener. Every time I read this thread it gets less likely that I will watch. A shame.
eta: but thanks for doing the tough job for me
FWIW, there's a new two-hour Heroes tonight.
Ugh. I still have four eps on the tivo that I didn't manage to get watched in two weeks of being off work. I don't know why I don't just give up. I think that I remember the love of seasons past and if I don't watch the eps, I can remember the glory and believe that it's still good.
