Heroes - Victim of the Writer’s Strike

I pity all of the shows that have been effected by the Writer’s Strike. I don’t know if Heroes will be able to maintain the interest of as many people now that they have had that lacklustre season finale. And moving on to Season Three so hurriedly. Generations was supposed to explain the parents of the Heroes. Their abilities, their goals in founding the company, and their plans for the future.

It really did none of that…and I was disappointed because of it. Because of the Writer’s Strike, they had to wrap up the season really quickly…and it just feels…broken. I thought the virus storyline was interesting and compelling. What I didn’t like was how the virus was so easily stopped. No big battle. No excitement. Peter starts whistling a different tune after two minutes of dialogue and becomes a hero again, instead of a misguided puppet of Adam Monroe.

It was a really disappointing Season finale. The next season, entitled “Volume Three: Villians”, will hopefully be more interesting. The fact that they might be introducing more people with abilities who are evil looks to be promising.

Oh, and I am really glad that Elle didn’t die. To quote Flight of the Conchords, “She is so hot. She is so flippin’ hot. She’s like a curry. I want to tell her how hot she is but she will think I’m sexist. She’s so hot she’s making me sexist. Bitch.”
