I’m going to start today’s Heroes discussion with a game of “Really!?!” as seen on SNL.
Sylar can stop speeding bullets without looking, but he can’t stop a Japanese office worker moving at the speed of slow? Really!?!
Peter can save the world through the power of heart? Really!?!
Bennet’s name is Noah? Really!?!
Bennet thought he could somehow not get his ass kicked long enough to shoot Peter in the head? Really!?!
Hiro teleported away from the site of him saving the world to Feudal Japan? Really!?!
Okay that was fun. So the first season of Heroes is behind us and what are we left with? Other than a slightly anticlimatic ending, we’re left with a pretty good show overall. The characters are good and the writing is … mostly good.
Hiro falling from from the sky and landing in Feudal Japan sounded a bit too much like the sound made when someone jumps over a shark, though. I pray that my ears hath deceiveth me.
