Heroes is officially getting on my nerves

This won’t be a full-fledged rant, because, frankly, I don’t have the strength. But if this show isn’t a piece of crap, I don’t know what is. And I thought last season was bad! Granted, we’re only like four episodes in, but I get a headache every Monday night at 8:20 like clockwork. They’ve brought back to life just about every character, as if the actual storyline wasn’t hard enough to follow. Because the second season ended so long ago, I barely have a grip on who’s supposed to be alive or dead to begin with. And I’ll be damned if I have to go back and watch that garbage again. And miraculous resuscitations aside, there’s too much other stuff that just doesn’t make sense. Ali Larter must have a good contract, ‘cause when her character died she had another one waiting in the wings. Sylar’s all docile now. Why? Peter has the “hunger.” Why?! He can already have any power he wants by walking past the guy! And the slapstick adventures of Hiro and Ando Piss. Me. Off.

I’m just tired of the direction of the show in general. You’d think that by season three, these people would stop marveling over the fact that they have powers and start using them. But, no. Peter’s still a weak, little bitch. Something mildly interesting went down last night, but I’m wondering if I should just drop the show altogether. I watch too much TV as it is.


*Update: The series had its first good episode of the season this week and I am no longer nearly as infuriated.

Hmm...killing people and then bringing them back to life? Who's done that? That doesn't sound like any other series...oh, wait. I've forgotten just how many time Wolverine has died.

Wolverine needs to be decapitated.
