Heroes Volume Three
Freitag, den 2. Januar 2009I wanted to write a review about Heroes Volume Three on my own blog. But after watching the season three I was so disappointed I was looking around for other peoples comments about the season three. I actually found two quotes that really summarizes my point of view! With the publication of these quotes on my blog I also want to thank the writers of these quotes for their mind-blowing way of expresing their opinions

The season has major suckage…but the writers are best with surprises and ironies.
FAST FORWARDS
I’m tired of premonition images (and, oh, super lame nondescript paintings) that tell me what “could” or “will” happen. And I’m tired of timelines and fixes to them. And after New York was saved at the end of Season 1, we still have Nathan on track to the presidency, which fulfills the initial vision of the future, which was supposedly mended.So things are inevitable, images are re-interpetable, and the past/present/future can be tinkered with. THEN WHY BOTHER with the timescapes? If the story’s supposed to be in four dimensions, fine–I love a good mind*#$@ once in a while. Just don’t use it as the principle plot device.
IT’S THE PEOPLE, STUPID!
The series painstakingly introduced us to PEOPLE but it’s uprooted the characters and immersed them in a boring solution of All Powers All The Time. Peter was a compassionate home health care worker. Tom was a cop trying to hold his marriage together. Suresh was a son trying to either walk in the legacy of his father or solve the mystery his father had hidden. See all the relationships? There are none–not even between the main characters (well, Ando & Hiro). You even have Mrs. Petrelli proclaiming her family ties to Sylar, and is there any warmth to it? The air got chillier at that moment than when Nikki-TRiplet freeze-dried a rose in her hands. Does anyone agree with me, the triplet story is lame and so is keeping this mouth-breathing actress on board?THINGS I DON’T HATE
I’m not too keen on all our heroes becoming bad guys, and vise versa. There may be a balance in the universe–some say yin/yang. But yin should always be yin and don’t you dare mess with my yang.Oddly enough, the character signal we got from Tom forcing the Company members identities from Mrs. Petrelli–and she actually said it to him, was that if he did this, he would become what he hated (his father). This should have been the first hero to “go dark” but no, he’s off in Africa talking to turtles.
I insist that my interpretation of Tom’s wilderness scenario is better than what the writers have done. My take was that Tom had been thrown into a dreamscape prison like his father, or he, or Peter could create.
I like that Peter has become Sylar, and I like how it happened (Hey Vic, he wanted Sylar’s innate power ‘to understand how things work,’ so that he could “un-unravel” the timeline.)
I saw Peter going dark back when he confronted Sylar, in the episode where Sylar pinned him and said “This is the part when most people scream.” Once Peter got his game on, his face became ruthless and you could see he was manifesting Sylar’s lust for power….I thought for sure Peter was going to “become” Sylar and would himself fulfill the scene where Hiro saw someone kill Isaac. Another case where MY story was better than the real one.

HOW THE FUTURE IS FIXED
Peter somehow acquires the powers of the Haitan. He also acquires the powers of Daphne. He has Hiro’s powers already. Now he combines these and runs all over the planet and all over time making all the NBC viewers *forget* what they’ve seen of Season 3. See? No muss, no fuss, no can-opener craniums.

Well, you know…
I’ve officially given up on this show… it’s drowning and I don’t like to see good people get dragged through hell and drown…
This show is an example to everyone just how horrible it can become.
Heroes is suffering from the dumbest writers in the history of writers…
They’ve dealt with story lines in the most amateuristic ways, trying to fool the viewers into forgetting all the past errors, by simply not mentioning them.
Like copy cat girl… The grandmother Uhura, how Parkmans dad ever got out of that mind trap he put him there… so many things have become so stupid, bordering idiotic, that I am just waiting to see the headline “HEROES CANCELLED”.This whole new idea of “genetically enhanced humans” just makes me sick to my stomach… it’s become more 4400 than Heroes… suddenly it’s just lost its own identity…
It went from amazing to ridicules to appalling…
This show is hurting the actors… Sylar is a joke, Hiro is a pain in the neck… you’d think he’d mature… and what the hell was that killing Ando scene for?
New characters coming in and old ones being forgotten… such bad writing..
So, we’re not talking about genetically enhanced humans with supernatural powers (X-Men and 4400 comes to mind, been there done that)
In so many ways the show is trying to wipe out the existence of it’s first season.
Dr. Suresh was the voice the morality the philosophy in the show in it’s first season…
The entire idea of EVOLUTION (Season 1) was what made it special… it was unique… now… it’s a discounted version of an idea that died a horrible death…
Heroes has become the perfect example to use in lectures and seminars on WHAT NEVER TO DO in this business.
This show is dead to me…
