By TrinityVixen – Glad to see that ol’ Petrelli survival instinct is still sharp as ever. We’ll catch up on the homoerotic reunion between Peter and Sylar next week. For all that Matt’s maneuver is stolen explicitly from both Neil Gaiman’s Sandman and Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado,” it was a genius little bit of thinking outside of the conventional box for this show.

By TrinityVixen – I like to play a game when watching this show. It’s called “You haven’t got the guts.” A situation will arise wherein a difficult decision—killing off a popular character, say—could be made. If the show makes the difficult decision, it wins, and I stay sober. If the show cops out, rewrites its own history or destroys characterizations to avoid making the difficult decision, it loses, and I take a drink.

By Lisa Fary – Sorry, Heroes, but Chuck stole your thunder. I guess that wasn’t too hard considering that Chuck rocks* and you kinda suck.

By TrinityVixen – Why do we always want to redeem our villains? What’s wrong with them just being evil SOBs? Why can’t they just be the id unleashed (as the best villains usually are)?

By Lisa Fary – Heroes, if you’re going to do an homage to Psycho, go all the way. Put Sylar in a flowery dress and have him kill someone in the shower.

I’m afraid this might come as bit of a shock, but there was a Bad Dad on Heroes this week. I know, I know, what are the odds? It’s shocking that they would exploit that. (This show? Exploitative? Never!) Brace yourselves, we’re in for a rough patch here.

I hoped Matt and Mo would kiss. It would have been a totally appropriate cap to the fountain of emotion that exploded all over that purple motel room.

I look forward to a Gabriel Gray: Super Counselor spin-off whenever they finally pull the plug on Heroes. Sylar is on yet another pointless road trip, but at least he’s moving in one direction (as opposed to the other heroes currently running around in circles). And yes, he’s still searching for Daddy. Because the one thing this show consistently believes in is that fathers are the only people who shape your entire personality—even when they were never there.

A wise friend of mine recommended I take the easy way out and turn in a three-word review for each week’s increasingly pointless episode of Heroes: “Make it stop.” It was a nice mantra to have in order to survive not one but two unnecessary make-out sessions between Sylar and Elle.

“I hate heroes.”
Sylar says what we’re all thinking. And, like us, he’s still, somehow, unable to escape them. Perhaps it is because this week he has no powers, and, as Mr. Bennet handily demonstrates, without his powers, he’s just six feet of punching bag.

Where to begin the kvetching? I’d like to begin with the bad science, move onto the misogyny, and finish with some (more) character assassination. A holy trifecta of ensuckitude!
