HEROES 3x10 "The Eclipse, Part 1" Discuss and Grade
- Thread starter Dream
- Start date
I've finally given up on Smallville. It's just too stupid for me to put up with anymore. Watching it in a CSI: Miami sort of way -- laughing at it instead of with it, looking at the hot chicks in HD -- just wasn't enough for me anymore.
If Heroes isn't dead and buried by season four, hopefully they'll correct their course. Smallville, on the other hand, has no course to even correct.
If Heroes isn't dead and buried by season four, hopefully they'll correct their course. Smallville, on the other hand, has no course to even correct.
Smallville currently has:
1) A Plot that is moving from beginning to middle to end.
2) A superpowered lead character who has a superpowered villain to fight without losing said powers.
3) A romantic subplot that is vaguely believable.
Heroes' equivalents ?
1) A plot that is taking an age to go anywhere at all. I'm not asking for everything in the first episode, of course, but this season has been so slow.
2) Heroes has a superpowered lead villain who took the superpowered lead character's powers away permanently and irreversibly.
3) Elle and Sylar ? Mohinder and Maya ?
I give this excellent purely because of HRG fucking destroying Sylar. I don't care how flawed any of the episode or the series is. That man is a legend and got some vintage scenes this week.
...really?
I've honestly never been anything more than mildly interested in his character (even in Season 1). I mostly think he's annoying.
me too! during the Haiti & conrfield scenes I had to turn off the light in my room, wtf?
Odd. I didn't notice a single problem with the lighting.
Wow. Only three pages of comments? How the mighty have fallen in favour. And quality as well.
I've been faithfully watching this show since the very first episode. And the last couple of weeks has had me wondering why. The characters that I began to like very strongly in Season 1 are gone, and I don't know who's replaced them. The new ones are not interesting at all. So that left only "I want to see what happens next"... and it turns out that what happens next makes very little sense whatsoever. I think maybe I'll keep on board until the Christmas hiatus, when this Volume is supposed to end, and then... I don't know, maybe I'll stay on and maybe I won't. My guess would be the latter. It just isn't fun anymore.

As i said last time this show is getting worse with each new episode...
Many before me have talked about its flaws so i won't bother doing it as well.
It's amazing what they have managed to do with Heroes. It's like they no longer have any idea what to do with the characters and the story.
I do hope Kring and his team get their shit together if there is going to be a season 4.
Because this was once a show I was looking forward to watching.
Now I just watch out of habit and mild curiosity
And just one question out of many I could ask...Who the hell writes the comics since Mr Isaaaaac is dead ?

I only watch it because "Chuck" is on right next to it. If I didn't watch "Chuck," or if "Chuck" was on a different night, "Heroes" would be nothing more than a memory.
She did? I only just watched it before I came to this thread, I could have sworn all she said after he said he loved her was "the doors open". Have to watch it again then.
At this point I only watch because Adrian Pasdar is gorgeous.
Yep. During "It's Coming". After about 10 minutes total conversation with Parkman and his turtle over two episodes, she professed her true love. Which seemed to be rushing in a bit to me, but love does mysterious things, so they say.
I complain about them taking Peter's powers away so they do it to the whole cast ?
Yeah, cut it out will you!
The only thing I really liked about this episode was Sylar's realization that his powers were gone. Then he got his ass handed to him.
So great to see the Heroes are nothing without their powers. Noah showed him that skill was more important than power. If Sylar wasn't so power dependent he should have held his own.
It is thrilling to see the stiletto through the heart done so gracefully!
The art of Heroes criticism has reach a new high.
Excellent way to describe Sylar this season.
I was leary on the whole "Sylar Redemption" thing but I was willing to give it a chance. I hated them whitewashing his bloody past but to his credit, Zachery Quinto has acted the hell out of it. This week though...even he couldn't do anything with it. He was just going through the motions. They twisted and turned Sylar's character so much that they've rendered him boring and useless. Even the character seems to have given up.
