Heroes: Heading Heroically Down Hill

Man I used to love Heroes. I would get all excited on Monday nights. We even used to get pizza from our favorite place and sit around the TV basking in warming glow of overly-attractive faux-heroes Heroes. They are a bunch of pretty-pretty princesses aren't they? 

This season however, into it's fourth episode, has been severely disappointing. Where there used to be a feeling of a hectic ride through a live action comic book, it now feels like a hectic ride through a live action blender. Almost all the characters have done some form of 180, (or they might do it in the future! OOooOoo! Spooky!) and just when you think you've got a grasp on the new spin of your favorite hero, they change again. Wait they're dead! No they're not dead, it was just a illusion! Wait! That illusion is being created by a new villain! Wait, they've know about this villain forever but never told you! Quick get rid of some character people like to force someone new into the story line!

Honestly I couldn't even tell you what's actually going on in the show right now, other than that they are looking for some formula. A formula that I could care less about because they've stopped giving you a chance to care about anything. Just watch the pretty-prettys do pretty things people! Don't pay anything attention to the non existent man behind the curtain. Right now it seems like no one is steering the Heroes ship. They had better change course soon though, cause I was so not quite ready to head back shore. A whole season like this though, and I start swimming. (Sharks being jumped be-damned!)
