Heroes: The Line… has been drawn.

Dear Tim Kring,

I can’t find a polite way of telling you to please go fuck yourself for ruining what was potentially the most original hero-based serial since the Buffy-verse went away. Now we are officially one quarter of the second season in and we haven’t had one action scene, well not a Heroes worthy scene anyway. What did we have tonight? Let’s have a quick run down.

We had Miss Cheerleader who just a few episodes ago was complaining that she wasn’t using her powers to their potential to maybe help people. And tonight, well she’s using them to traumatise a fellow cheerleader so she can steel her seat on the squad. Yup! This show is all about evolution.

Suresh, what a useless dolt. I’ll do it, I wont do it, rinse and repeat. Will the script writers write in some balls for Suresh please? And I’m not even gonna get into the languishing boredom of Hiro in feudal Japan

Maya her brother and Sylar just happen to hit a part of the border that left open and of course the Minute Men are waiting. Oh Come On! We know, we know, we goddamn know that she loses control and people die. We get it. It’s all we see every time there’s a scene with her in it. And I know that South Americans are religious and everything but are they so blatantly stupid Maya can’t see Sylar is FUCKING EVIL?

The Company Man Bob, wants to erase Monica’s power and after Suresh’s little hissy fit, he has crisis of conscience and changes his mind, takes her home himself and set her up with everything she needs? How fucking LAME can you goddamn get?

Noah Benet’s story was only mildly interesting. But of course we were growing to love Mr. Benet and his new fatherly ways. And then he cold bloodedly offs his mentor with little hesitation. Big Shocker! He used to be pure evil. I’m not impressed. This is what he used to do. Stop it already.

And then, then, Peter, goes to Montreal, finds a clue, clue magically dream-theater teleports him to future New-York and finds a leaflet about a future evacuation in 2008. Oh New-York in Danger again? Oh My! Where have I seen this plot before?
Hmmmm Oh yeah, that was last years fucking plot and you fucked that up also.

So in conclusion, I’ll go the geek way to mock your episode’s title and quote Captain Picard: “The line Must Be Drawn Here, This Far No Further” because I’m done with your show I’m no longer willing to wait to see if it gets better next week. It’s finished. I’ll never watch again. Chapter 11 on Heroes. Closing the book.

    For me it was the opening scene when you saw the body had a chalk line.

    No one draws chalk lines it’s bullshit… lol

    Wow, a little angry are we? I can understand your frustration, but since you are incapable of using polite language, I’ll be blocking your blog entirely.

    Pity, you almost had something interesting to say, but then it’s hard to get past the cursing you inserted more frequently than Tim’s obvious hints in this episode….

    Pots and kettles… pots and kettles…

    (And I can’t wait til next week to see how wrong you are…..)

    OMG! I’ve been fucking blocked! Me so sad. If you can’t handle some harsh words, you must live in some sheltered life, because life is so much harsher than my liberal use of the fuck word.

    Tim only hints and never gets anywhere, he’s the storytelling equivalent of an eternal cock-tease. Heroes is a lap dancer compared to taking a date home for a romp.

    Block me, I don’t fucking care. I cherish my freedom to use the word fuck much more than your moralism.

    My question is, how do you block a blog? Wouldn’t the proper term be boycott?

    Since you could only block a blog from appearing in search engines or block it in the sense of a firewall.

    But what douche bag blocks a website from their firewall to stop themselves from reading it? I think only addicts do this for porn…Unless you get off on the word ‘fuck’ since it’s naughty.

    Don’t deprive yourself of intellectual freedom regardless of the abundance/lack of cussing.

    Man I love cussing :D Nothing like properly using the word FUCK to relieve stress :D

    As quoted from some dude…

    “Profanity is just a collection of words that exactly describe emotions. When you bite a jalepeno pepper, you don’t describe it as very spicy, you say it is hot. When you find a significant other you say you love them not just like them. So why when it comes to extreme joy, anger, or frustration are we expected to use words like darn, gosh, frick etc. Profanity is there for a reason. It accurately describes an emotion. People say it is offensive, but then again you can call somebody ugly and they get offended, and you can call somebody fat and it will offend them also, but that’s not profanity. So why are profane words singled out. I’m not advocating going out and trying to make people cry or w/e but come on, they’re just words. Be mature about them and use them just like every other word in w/e language you speak; use them at the right time, place, and manner and everything should be ok”

    In this case we have a display of extreme emotion, bending on that of M.D.K from Dave.

    Rockin’ blog dude! I found it through a series of links via Aminus3, Flickr etc.

    I don’t watch Heroes myself, but I share your pain. There have been SO many TV shows with HUGE potential to be something great and the writers go and shit the bed after they’ve got you hooked.

    I am fearful that Lost may end up this way, but I’ll hold out and wait and see what February brings.

    Keep up the rants! I fucking love it! :D

    Dave Mac. Thanks man. I added you in the feeds for Flickr, awesome pictures man. If Lost goes the same, I will bury it just the same and I’m a die hard Lost fan.

    Ha! Killer post. I think I’ll still give Mr. Kring and Company a chance with Season III (or the pre-writers’ strike announced series, “Heroes: Origins,” whichever shows up first). If I’m not impressed then, I won’t give a second thought about not watching the show any longer. I’ll simply hang on to my Season I DVDs, shed a single tear, and re-watch everything except the last episode (which sucked big time). Thanks for posting this. Cheers!
