Why do I keep watching Heroes, why?

Why does anyone for that matter? This show is a train wreck of apocalyptic proportions.  I just finished watching the latest episode or chapter and this one is a doozie of retcon and zip-through-storytelling.

What's the point anymore?

Sylar is now an agent? Seriously what the fuck? The writers on this show are really smoking some awesomely cheap dope to come up with this insane plot twist.  Yes let’s take the guy that tried to push Peter to detonate and wipe out New-York in one swoop and slap a cheap suit and tie on him and make him an agent. Which of course he adapts to very immediately. And while we’re at it lets retcon his backstory. He’s no longer the son of a watchmaker which was the foundation for his ability to understand how everything functions and turn him into the son of everyone’s mom and he’s now Peter and Nathan’s brother and Claire’s Uncle. The family that apocalypses together stays together.

And what’s with all these badasses slowly turning into little puppy dogs. Noah used to be scarier Hannibal and now he’s just a concerned father with lots of access. Sylar will become one of the good guys, just you watch.  And now all the Villains are no names with no personalities.

Hiro is still a fraking doofus who can’t get shit done because, let’s face it he’s just a big pussy who needs to grow some balls.  But lo and behold his useless sidekick grows some and he has no powers. And what’s with Run Lola Run. Is she gonna have anything else to do but just zip by and steal Hiro’s stuff?

To Soon?

They killed Nicky Sanders but couldn’t get rid of the actress because she’s so fucking hot and it’s too early to treat Hayden Pannetierre like a fuck-doll on the show because her character is still theoretically in high-school, so they made up a new character for her and she’s kinda of the long lost triplet sister Nicki never knew about. Oh Boy.

Speaking of the cheerleader and her awesome camisoles (oops did I say that?)  Her Biomom broke her down psychologically in less than 5 minutes. Right. Because everyone can get through a teenager so quickly.  This could have been stretched out and have Claire-bear go bad, not evil-bad, just some self-destructive behavior and really bring her to the brink and psychological meltdown. But no, instant-intervention and 5 minutes later…”Because I want to hurt him because he hurt me” ok.

Oh and could the writers finally just kill off the Peters. All of them. This whole time-travel back and forth gimmick is getting old. It’s too easy to fix holes and fix them fast. Plus they are whiney annoying little girls.  Why is it that to differentiate identical characters from different time/dimensions it’s always facial hair or a scar? And I’ve said it before, Peter can self heal, like Claire who’s been eviscerated and scalped, and yet he has this scar on his face. Again I say what the fuck?

Micah, by far one of the few remaining interesting characters gets 3 lines… oy! Then there’s the African dude who paints in the desert. Cool Ok. But couldn’t they get him to paint in more African style instead of American Comic Book Style? Would look more authentic to me but I could be wrong.

Season 3 is also just rehashing season 2. Separate the characters all over the place and Peter is lost somewhere. Rinse and Repeat. This is Days of Our Lives where the characters have superpowers.
