Heroes : Trust and Blood
Was not horribly horrible. But still…meh.
The Guantanemo schtick was TOO THICK. Back up off of it. Back up offa me (annnd youtube sucks for not having a Talib Kweli video for me to link there).
I think it would be more relateable if it was either lower key (rounding folks up to live in a special village or camp vs. locking them in unlit rooms with bags over their heads), or totally off the charts (X-Men: Days of Future Past).
Seriously. We’re supposed to believe that Nathan believes that he is helping people when he is putting them in unlit rooms with bags over their heads?? And this is supposed to be contemporary with our reality – which is currently dealing with the Guantanemo fallout? Yeah no. Try 5 years too late, or 5-10 years too early to be a retrospective commentary.
Re: The resolution to Peter’s overpoweredness: predictiable, but clean. Rather limitedly interesting though. I wish the number were 4 or 5, or at least 2 or 3. Not going to be much of a match for Sylar and his 50 jillion powers….
The Sylar & Son thing…what are the odds. Seriously. They’d better be related. Of all the houses, in all the suburbs, you had ta walk into mine…
Oh. And they totally attempt to make it look like everyone thinks Daphne is dead (at least I got that impression – did I miss a scene where they captured her?) – when episode info for just a few weeks down the road, available online easily, directly states that she’s not. Dumb.
The whole violence scene was dumb. Matt took over everyone’s mind, and then allowed them to take Claire back with them? And possible Daphne? WTF? Shoddy/lazy writing.
Do I smell a Loeb? Quite possibly…..
The weird thing is the show is still interesting and worth watching – even though I can’t stand most of the characters (Parkman & Daphne are ok, Ando might wind up being interesting). Kind of like BSG. I pretty much can’t stand anyone on the show, but I’m still curious enough to watch every other episode to see how it’s wrapping up.
