Wish I could fly like Superman

cyranoYou know what kicks my ass about Heroes?
Aside from the writing, the characters, the killer plot twists, the geeky genre references, the actors and the general hottness of Suresh?
The constant implication that the writers know exactly what story they're telling and where it's going, and that I usually can't guess where that is.
They did the Dark Alternate Universe thing! And just like in the comics, everybody in the DAU is *fuckin' cool*. DAU Peter? Totally cool. Bitchen scar, Peter. WTF happened to Jessica? DAU President? Damned cool. Very efficient. And totally not who I expected. DAU Hiro? Swoony good. Especially that 'last page'.
And why the hell didn't Mohinder and Peter take Sylar out when they had him helpless? That's a *horror movie* trope, not a comic trope!
Has anybody heard if the 'three episodes left' is for real? Are they planning on finishing the story this season even if the show is wildly popular and sells lots of adtime?

Date: 2007-05-03 05:01 pm (UTC)Exactly. I was so thrilled when they explained why you 'Save the cheerleader, save the world'. With Lost, it feels like they are getting their shit together, but that season and a half was really disappointing. Veronica Mars turned out much the same--the first season was amazing and now I really wish they'd cut it off then, because the occasional glimmers of beauty afterward weren't enough to save it from being tarnished.
This doesn't mean that it will not come back next season, mind you
Yeah, I hadn't heard one way or the other and was curious if anybody else had.
