I watched my last episode this week. A bittersweet goodbye.

My husband and I tuned in for the first time to see Dying of the Light. Normally, we watch things like the Unit, Dexter and House, either complicated, yet cohesive stories or at least dry wit. Now we do love humor as long as it is not insulting such as in Big bang theory and Pushing Daisies. And we are huge fantasy and sci fi freaks, even if they suck. Serenity and Firefly are our favorite all time TV series. Buffy is a close second ranked equal to x-files. I am now enjoying 11th hour but still have the verdict on it. I say this to state what I compare heroes to. I hated it. I was lost, the acting sucked for the most part, the directing was horrible. There was way too much jumping around and too many characters to care about anyone. I have epilepsy and I was honestly afraid it was to set it off. I realize that you can't come into to season three and expect to catch everyting but you should be able to follow SOMETHING in one episdode. the only thing I found tolerable was the fake death of Hiro and his friend. I liked them a lot. The rest of it, was just stupid and seemed thown together and not enough to carry more than 40 seconds. it was like viewing 'scenes from next week". If scaled back and losing 3/4 of the story arc and developing deeper characters that you can either love or hate as in true series work, it might last as a 5-7 season series. But I don't think it will make it past this one. Unless the tweens still like the young starlets enough to watch it to season 4. But they are losing their shine as they age. And without their poster sales, it won't last long with a cohesive plot, unless they learn to sing and sell albums. Just my opinion from a first and last time viewer.

There are worse shows than this, but none that annoy me so much. Heroes is pretentious, rambling, illogical, convoluted, derivative, repetitive, OTT, directionless nonsense. I have a great capacity to suspend disbelief, but this show can't even make its characters act in realistic ways. It constantly fallls back on meandering parralel plotlines, 'the end of the world is nigh' plots, and characters suddenly revealing superpowers. Is there anyone on Heroes who isn't powered. Or, at least, won't 'shockingly' be revealed to be eventually? And don't even get me started on the plot holes disguised as mysteries, the hastily constructed illogical 'explanations' and the soap opera cliche's like 'they're long lost relatives', 'somebody gets amnesia', and 'he's dead, no wait he's not'. It's so preposterous and yet still manages to be boring, and I gave up after season 1. I can't believe it's actually gotten worse. I know it's childish to rant like this about a TV show, but Heroes fever is so annoying, and the show itself just insults my intelligence. Good for you, TV addict.

I fell in love first season Claire, Mohinder, Peter, Sylar and of course Hiro - what the hell happened? I agree with past Peter everyone he knew is gone, well changed and crazy at that! Too many storylines to follow makes me cranky! I understand why Claire changed and why Mohinders curiosity got the better of him to experiement on himself, but Nathan and Linderman, is Linderman really an older Nathan? And I would want to kill Hiro too if I was Ando. What is he thinking unearthing Adam??? Too much too many stories and just too confusing. and I am ready to jump. Sorry Tim Kring my love affair is waning, you brought me Crossing Jordan and then the amazing first 2 seasons of Heroes now, I dont know what to do???
