Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:27:47 +0000 http://semantink.com/wordpress/?p=853#comment-97 Gave up on Heroes midway through Season 3. At the start of the third season, I had hope that Heroes would at least remain in the realm of "so bad it's good," or even, "addicting because it's like a car wreck and shit." But no, it's just shit. NBC dropped the ball. Look, I'm usually not for revamps or reboots, but perhaps the nicest thing that NBC can do is dump Heroes like a silent load, flush it in the toilet for two years, then sell the property to the SyFy (Syphillis?) channel for a whole new look, a la Battlestar Galactica. And bring back Pushing Daisies because, frankly, it's a fun show that provides a more satisfying escape. Gave up on Heroes midway through Season 3.

I read it... Something about him killing children? Ooooh, so evil! Killing children is like punching blind people, not a sure thing, but pretty hard to f*ck up. Screw Vader and his idiot followers. Ben - Since you run this site, I will never disagree with you. But mainly, I am not going to disagree with you now because you are right. If Heroes was a person I wouldn't Godfather 2 him - instead, I believe I would Bear Jew him, Inglorious Bastards style. I would want to stare into Heroes' eyes as I cracked a bat across his poorly-written face, not sneak a gun to the back.

I do think that there are ton of really bad shows. Thankfully we have lost on regular cable. Maybe one day I will actually watch HBO series while on their channel instead of on DVD. It did crack me up to read about your dysfunctional relationship with you lame show. Oh yeah and Entertainment weekly put Darth Vader as the number two villain of all time just behind the Joker. This was a readers choice poll as well. Just thought you should know what the rest of the world thinks. ('o') I’m sorry but I never thought Heroes was a good show.
