Heroes: One Giant Leap
Heroes is on its third episode, which should be a little more coherent than last week. I hope I get to see the inside of someone else’s head again.
The two flying brothers, who can fly, are trying to figure out how they done got all up in the air. This is while the Indian fellow tries to figure out his father’s research with the help of some Winona Ryder looking gal. And some unattractive police woman is interrogating some mind reading police cadet. Man, she isn’t ugly but she isn’t good to look at. Is that a super power?
The time traveling Asian fellow brought a comic book back from the future. It was drawn by a man who can paint pictures of the future. The comic book tells the future and helps the time traveling Asian save people. No sports scores and lottery numbers for this bright young man.
Oh yeah, the single lady with the kid is burying bodies in the desert still. Enough characters! That will be the downfall of this show, if there is a downfall.
All I want to do is complain about how many fractured stories there are. They don’t spend enough time on any to really make me care. Even New York getting blown up is nothing fantastic.
Now we are talking! The time manipulator thinks he needs a costume.
High school sports teams still burn things in effigy. You think someone would have jumped in to stop that violent behavior before they started blaming video games.
How many times is this cheerleader going to die? While being sexually assaulted by her boyfriend, her head gets impaled on a stick. I give up on this show right now. She has died so many times accidentally! I can accept the world where these people have super powers, but not where this ridiculous stuff keeps happening over and over.
Time stopping fellow brought a friend to America with him. His friend keeps watching porn on his iPod. What a magical age of technology that we live in! If only Paul Rubens had this technology at his finger tips back in the day.
Heroes: Don’t Look Back
Heroes has five ordinary people finding their extraordinary powers. Invincibility, bending space and time, and other generic powers.
I’m already out of the loop after missing only one episode. That is not awesome nor cool. The Asian man who can stop time stole a comic book in New York and is now running away. The comic book is about him. That doesn’t give a right to steal it. Some “hero.”
Then a woman woke up in a garage full of murder. Did she cause the murder? Maybe the video camera will tell us. Or maybe it will just have the Screech sex tape on it. Oh no!
Someone murdered an Indian fellow’s professor father. But that’s not important. The invincible cheerleader would have been killed from a hit by a football player. You know, if she wasn’t invincible. She pulled out some Death Becomes Her moves and spun her head back around.
Hey hey, the garage of murder is clean and keys to a nice red convertible were left behind. Oh, all the bloody bodies were in the trunk. So maybe it’s not so nice.
The time and space guy found the man who drew the comic book, who can draw future events before they happen. But the top of his head had been chopped off. That, I was not expecting. I saw the trail of blood leading into the other room, and the gun the time man stupidly picked up, but none of that lead me to imagine what I would see. That’s pretty great.
Yeow, the skull sawed off incident isn’t singular. Of course, this guy was frozen while eating breakfast. Perhaps he was shocked by the high cost of name brand cereals. They aren’t cheap, after all.
Murder garage brought her kid along while she drove to the desert to bury her bodies. At least they are doing things together.
Wait a minute now, was all this in the future? A bomb destroyed New York, but the time guy stopped time at that point and went back in time. So was he just in the future, or was everyone else there too? Damn super powers. Obey the laws of the universe!
