Heroes

So I was reading this comment thread about when Heroes 'jumped the shark' or whatever. Now I'm the first to admit that Heroes is not exactly the most...coherent show, shall we say. It definitely has a lot of potential, and I would love to see the characters actually acting like Heroes (to date, uh, D.L. and Nicki, maybe? Monica? And where are they? Thank the gods they brought Micah back, now he's acting like a definite Hero, love him). But okay some of characters *cough* Maya, West *cough* are really WTF and I didn't really see any point to them (except that Claire needs a better friend *cough* Zach *cough* oh and that everyone likes to see some random woman sleep with a bug man).

However I love the show. Maybe it's a guilty pleasure, maybe it's the overall eye candy of the show, maybe it's because my Obsession is a part of it and hence I have to watch it, I don't know. See, if I stopped watching it, I would go into major Zachary Quinto withdrawal symptoms and die choking on the floor of my bedroom, my body to be discovered days later when my flatmates finally wonder where that smell is coming from.

I have just recently finished watching Volume 4 and cannot wait until Volume 5. I think I'm gonna like this Samuel guy (Robert Knepper, I think the actor's name is - his voice, I love it) even though you can see they're gonna make him the Big Bad (I love that he says revenge is in the cards, not justice, Go him). And Claire kisses a girl! I mean, come on, don't tell me you're not looking forward to that. In fact I think she kisses her roommate Gretchen (Madeleine Zima, FTW) so it's even better.

S1 - I started watching because of Milo Ventimiglia and stayed because of Zachary Quinto. Plus it had the added wowness of Malcolm McDowell (what is it with me and bad guy's voices?) and Christopher Eccleston (invisible hobo, FTW, and he's my favourite Doctor by far).

S2 - Kristen Bell and Dana Davis, I wish they had remained on the show *sigh* Finally characters who are heroes and interesting!villains (as in, it's not about taking over the world/etc). Adrian Pasdar's hair was wonderful as well. Oh, and David Anders! How could I forget you, you big hunk of manliness, you?

S3, P1 - Sylar. Elle. If only Arthur Petrelli hadn't killed Adam we might have seen an epic Sylar/Elle/Adam teamup which you know with actors like them would have been absofuckinglutely brillant. Sylar and Peter are brothers! Oops, no they're not! Which is yay for me since they're my Obsession and incest doesn't really do it for me. And we get the 'confused blinking' from Peter in I Am Become Death, which was adorable, admit it.

S3, P2 - the one where minor characters are the shiz. Point in case, Exposed with Sandra 'Awesomeness on a Stick' Bennet, even Lyle - who's barely in the episode - is awesome. Micah shows up with a deeper voice and the need to be a hero, love that boy. Sylar goes on a roadtrip with Dan Byrd, oops, a boy named Luke (aka the Sylar fanboy - it isn't just me who wanted to take his place, is it?). Cristine Rose was amazing in this volume, really, truly. I felt truly sorry for Sylar's uncle, Martin Gray, he seemed to have a sad life. Poor guy, should have taken little Gabriel with him. And let us not forget Wet Peter and Wet Sylar in Into Asylum.

All in all, I'm looking forward to Season 4, Volume 5 (comes on me b-day, WOO!). Maybe I'll even give you the lowdown on each ep, yeah?
