It's Official: Heroes is Crap  

.

TV: Just so it's official, Heroes (which was my favorite show on TV during its first season) is absolute crap right now. What used to keep me on the edge of my seat every week is now a meandering, nonsensical mishmash of completely random plot threads and blundering character assassination on the level of which I don't think I've ever witnessed before.
.

from this...
.
.
The thing I liked most about the show when it first debuted was that it was incredibly entertaining to see normal people develop superpowers, and how this situation affected their lives. There were lots of moments that resonated with me, and almost all the characters were very relatable and made sense. (Nikki’s split-personality thing never quite came together for me, but still, it wasn’t terrible.)
.
I have no idea what went wrong, but the people behind the show seem to have completely lost touch with what made this show a hit. Now, instead of being about people who are dealing with problems and being helped/hindered by their abilities (Matt Parkman’s combination of mind-reading and a disintegrating marriage was genius) it's become a bloated soap opera with absurd twists and turns that a whale couldn't swallow, and characters that are constantly doing and saying things that fly in the face of their established personalities.
.
.

...to this.
.
.
Truth be told, I can hardly believe how far the show has fallen. The writing is just so incredibly bad, and there's not even a meager scrap left of what hooked me to begin with. The worst part is, there are decades and decades of quality comic book plots that the show's writers could have been ripping off in order to produce quality material, but instead they’re fiercely buggering off into some bizarrely contrived nonsense that's not even watchable.
.
Wasting this much potential should be a crime.

What next?

    Having just endured another witless, pointless episode I thought 'It's not me is it? - this really is crap' And don't get me going on continuity - except that it continues at all is in itself a marvel. Every week the same old rehash - he good guy, no bad guy no good guy... her with powers, her without. Such a rich vein of possibilities and they throw it away, over and over again. Believe me if i was Sylar there would be far fewer TV execs with horizontal saw marks on their brainless heads

    Well I don't know what to say because that program for me was a complete crap since the beginning because this is produced for people who don't have any in their minds, I don't how people can see that.m10m
