You know what? Heroes has gotten pretty dull.
It used to be that you could depend on a solid Hiro storyline, a decent Peter Patrelli plot, and a passable cheerleader plot.
Now, Hiro is powerless and has gotten kind of whiny.
The cheerleader has fallen to Jessica/Nicky terribleness.
Peter Patrelli has gotten a little bad ass (Do you think he’ll skull Isaac [ala Sylar] to make Hiro’s future come to truth?).
For me, though, the only reason to watch is Sylar. He is the only character who treats his power as a gift and uses it in day to day life.
Let’s break that down. Hiro used to do that, but has since lost his power and became boring. Peter doesn’t know wtf he is doing. The cheerleader hasn’t used any power since the series came back on air. Nicky/Jessica hates her superpower. Parkman accesses his power to find out stupid facts (like his wife is cheating, dump her and move on). Isaac uses his power to stalk Peter (that’s pretty freakin’ gay [sorry GLAAD]). The Haitian is just Mr. Bennett’s little bitch. Nathan Petrelli is almost on par with Sheriff Walt Bannerman (Dead Zone TV show) as far as acting chops.
So, from this point out I’m routing for Sylar until Stan Lee busts out his superpower bus driving skills and kills him. It’s only a matter of time, right?
