Heroes: "The Art of Deception" 1/25/10 - Grading & Discussion
- Thread starter Aragorn
- Start date
I had a Heroes dream last night. In it Adam came back to life and killed all the main characters on the show. Weird.
Could you please have another Heroes dream tonight where Adam comes back to life and kills all the writers for the show.
The camerawork was interesting in the episode.
For Art of Deception, I was expecting something a bit more of a twist.

Matt finally did what they should have done 2 seasons ago.
I hope the writers dont expect us to buy this "Sylar's powers made him evil" bull.
Im also convinced now that insanity runs in the Petrelli family.

I don't know if I'd want to have an all-powerful madman sitting in my basement with nothing but a flimsy brick wall keeping him there.
that house would have to stay in your families possession for... forever...
hmm i was wondering what happened to Jessica
Sylar is the biggest flippy floppy of all time...he's lost his powers before and he was still a killer...why are we supposed to believe that this was a driving force into his insanity...
2 more episodes....looks like it will be the main cast vs the carnival folks and some red shirts in a battle royale to the death!!!! and poor lydia...she was freaking mucho caliente!!

Huh? He has acted like that. His character logic has varied between "he was insane even as a normal person" and "he's insane because of his powers." So now they're back to poor, pathetic Gabriel again. It's not working now any better than it did before, but at least it has some precedent.
The rest is just total incoherence. Why did Claire stick her nose into Noah's business (and didja notice how it was her blabbermouth that turned the whole thing into a disaster?) Why is Matt still living where Sylar can find him? Why didn't he immediately take over Sylar's mind the minute he saw him, and tell him to sit quietly in a corner until Rene can arrive - I hope everyone has that guy's number on speed dial by now - so that Matt can dispose of Sylar once and for all just by shooting him in the head? Once Matt realizes Gabriel is sincere in wanting to reform, why does Matt then decide to dispose of the guy - but didn't do a damn thing when he thought he was dangerous? Why wall Sylar up in your own basement, from which he will no doubt escape, rather than, I dunno, rent a helicopter and kick the guy out over the Pacific, tied down with an anchor around his neck? Why can't the writers remember that Peter and Matt can't read each others' minds? Why is Peter trying to save the guy who murdered his brother? Why do I even bother?
Based on the preview of next week:
Peter meets the "real" Gabriel, who's been trapped in Sylar's crazy head for the past three years. Just forget all that squirrely behavior in the flashback with Elle.
The network affiliate, or perhaps the cable company, dropped the audio feed about halfway through the show. I think Girl 1 was talking to Girl 2 about her Dad going to massacre Samuel? In any case, I turned it off. I'll probably revisit it on Hulu or ABC.com, although that's become harder since Hulu changed something and no longer works when I'm on Linux.
It is getting harder and harder to watch this show. Almost like some greater force doesn't want me to.

Did you notice one of Sylar's flashback kills is of Charlie, who in this current timeline he didn't kill? Only Heroes would make such a big deal about something and then completely forget they made a big deal about it.
So next week Samuel and his carnies march toward Alcatraz Island and someone moves the Golden Gate Bridge?

It's the Heroes variation on the classic Bond Villain Doesn't Kill Bond When He Has The Chance scenario. And they keep on doing it. Kring and cronies just won't let Sylar go even though the character is long past his sell-by date. Well, we know this. What a fuck up.

And as for DumbFuck Petrelli...he's just a dumbfuck that keeps doing dumbfucky things because he's a dumbfuck who gets dumbfuckier with every passing minute...
What a dumbfuck.
And yet I still watch...got to have something to bitch about, right?
Sylar is so powerful he remembers history even after it was changed...
God this show just reaches new levels of stupidity on a weekly basis. I mean really Matt, you're just going to bury him in your house? It's fucking Sylar. Throw the guy into a meat grinder and then drop the pieces in a friggin molten metal pit ala T2 style
I think Hero might be slightly out os sync with everyone else and I think he'll have to put everything right back how it was.
Peter reading Matt's mind was definitely a fuck up. It made sense in the context of the episode if it weren't for the fact that it contradicts everything else. There was one other big contradiction, but I can't remember it.
I guess they've decided to retcon Claire's blood so it heals living people, but not dead ones. Noah was shot in the fucking brain, but whatever.
I still think the episode was better than last week, but they need to push this thing to the ending soon.
EDIT: I'm OK rationalizing that his desire to be special brought on by his crazy mother started to make him crazy, the realization of his powers fueled that desire by increasing his temptation so without powers he'd only be a little crazy. That being said, if the "real Gabriel" is the one before the powers and has just been trapped there, that'll definitely tick me off.
