Heroes: An Invisible Thread

onefinemess | April 28, 2009

Well.
Hmm.
I was surprised that the series finale was a normal length episode — I found that very odd.  I’ve heard they’re cutting back on the episode count for next season though, so maybe it’s all a budget thing.
At least one scene was really poorly done.  The whole zapping Claire out the door thing made not [...]

Heroes: I am Sylar

onefinemess | April 25, 2009

Fairly decent, even though focused on the guy that should really be dead – although hey look, now there’s not even a way to do that!  Yay :(.  His powers…again..way out of control.  How many power-people are there anyway?  It looked like they had dozens locked up a few episodes back, and Sylar must have [...]

Heroes: Turn and Face the Strange

onefinemess | April 9, 2009

Re: Sylar and Danko – who didn’t see that coming.  Bennet should have seen it too.  Duh.
Re: Parkman – Man he’s still a horrible, shitty telepath when he has to resort to physical violence,  W T F?  Thankfully, he can’t get any dumber – the only way to go is up right?  PS Remember the [...]

Heroes: Into Asylum

onefinemess | April 7, 2009

Hopped right back on the lameass bus after a decent showing last episode.

The entire Claire/Nathan thing – wicked lame
Sylar getting more powers – an especially obnoxious one – lame
No Parkman/Hiro/Ando/Micah – lame

It was a downtime/filler episode that was necessary to get pieces in place, I get that.   “Character focused” I guess.  Next!

Heroes 0320: Cold Snap

onefinemess | March 25, 2009

Was, I think, hands down the best episode of the series so far.  Keep in mind, that’s not saying much.  But, I’m unashamed that I watched it.  I’ll say that much at least.

We lose two decent characters – both get good ending.
We didn’t have to sit through any Claire-angst.
Hiro gets a portion of his powers [...]

Heroes, Thunderbolts & making Obama look silly

onefinemess | March 20, 2009

So the last 2 issues of Thunderbolts and the season finale of the last Heroes season have something in common – they both feature people fooling Obama.  And not just simple trickery – getting him to sign on for something so unlike his visible character, and so stupid it would never fly in real life, [...]

Heroes: Shades of Gray

onefinemess | March 11, 2009

re: Claire in the comic book store : The first moment of truth in the whole fucking show.
re: The ending: Why the hell does it matter if that guy “knows” Nathan can fly?  He’s already fired. HOW DOES ANY OF THAT SHIT MATTER?
re: new id for puppet man: DOESN’T MATTER.  THEY HAVE FACIAL REC SOFTWARE [...]

Heroes – Cold Wars

onefinemess | February 25, 2009

OK, I get that Peter is intentionally written to be stupid.
I finally get that.  For a while, I thought the writers might be more crafty than this, or just sloppy – but now I’m just forced to conclude that he is written stupid.  Being impulsive once in a while is ok, we all do that [...]

Heroes : Trust and Blood

onefinemess | February 12, 2009

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 [...]

heroes season 3 finale

onefinemess | December 17, 2008

Don’t read if you don’t want spoilers.
So.
This episode was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, because stuff actually happened…for the most part.
I have to say, if Peter is going to stick around – which he will, prettttty much forever I expect, since the writers have given several indications that they are [...]
