I am SO BORED with the new season of Heroes!
Finally watched the second episode of the season last night (downloaded it) and I could barely pay attention. The only characters I care about are Claire and Peter. And Claire is going to get into some sort of stupid high school romance, and Peter's stuck in Ireland for no apparent reason. Hiro's storyline is so dull I could cheerfully slip into a coma. They are dragging everything out. The only storyline that furthers the plot is Mohinder's, who is so somnambulent I could use him as a sleeping pill. I had a slight perk when the Haitian came back to Bennett, as I think they make a good team. But otherwise, I am REALLY disappointed. There's no craackle this season, no surprises, and the pacing is REALLY slow. Dammit! *shakes fist*

2. Well, that's true. :)
No shortage of man candy on that show, that's for sure. But since they all look like they're about three seconds away from doing each OTHER...I think my chances are slim. Some SERIOUS eyef**king going on in that show.


...also, they're fictional characters. That doesn't help.

4. Me too! WTF is up with that?
So the girl accidentally...kills people with stuff in her eyes...and then her brother...unkills them? What the fuck kind of superpower is that?

And when do we get Kristin Bell? Isn't she supposed to be on this show this season?

6. Not a consistent watcher
and given what y'all are saying, I shouldn't start now. I watched most of the first season, but didn't like any of the characters enough to make it one of my weekly shows.

8. Hmm, well, I loved the first season terribly...
so if you're not into the first season, then I would say the second season isn't going to inspire your adoration either! :D

7. Are you sure Claire's heading for just some stupid hs romance?
This ain't no ordinary kid (her or him).

Hiro's story could use a little nudge though, you're right about that. They really need to bring Sylar back soon too.

10. True, not ordinary...
however, doesn't it seem like, since this kid can ostensibly fly, he's got to be related to Nathan? So they're going to do the whole "I've fallen in love with you but now I know you're my brother" plotline that we've seen eleventy brillion times on soap operas?

I'll be happy to be wrong, if it's more interesting than that!

We need Sylar! This show doesn't work without a villain!

16. Ooh, I hadn't thought of that.
New Kid: He's my father.

Claire: Your father?

New Kid: There's more. It won't be easy for you to hear it, but you must. If I don't make it back, you're the only hope for the Company.

Claire: New kid, don't talk that way. You have a power I--I don't understand and could never have.

New Kid: You're wrong, Claire. You have that power too. In time you'll learn to use it as I have. The mutation is strong in my family. My father has it...I have it...and...my sister has it. Yes. It's you Claire.

Claire: I know. Somehow...I've always known. At least since the first season.

New Kid: Then you know why I have to face him.

Claire: No! Fly away, far away. If he can feel your presence, then leave this place. I wish I could go with you.

New Kid: No, you don't. You've always been strong.

Claire: But, why must you confront him?

New Kid: Because...there is good in him. I've felt it. He won't turn me over to Sylar. I can save him. I can turn him back to the good side. I have to try.

11. Don't get me started!
After the first 2 seasons, where I loved BG with the fiery intensity of a thousand white-hot suns, I just HATED the third season! I hope they can redeem themselves, but I'm not sure. :(

12. I'll admit
The finale left me wondering what the fuck they were thinking...

Is it weird that I only think Starbuck is hot when she's wearing her flight helmet with the weird blue glow on her face?

13. A little. :)
That's okay, I only think Apollo is hot when he and Anders give each other those looks like they're about 3 seconds away from ripping each other's clothes off.

...but then, that's just me. :D

15. Oh, pretty much every show can be slashed.
but I only do it with the ones with good raw material. :D

I've never seen Jericho! Are all the guys in love with each other on that one too?? :evilgrin:

I'm telling you, for every television show with two hot male characters, there's a woman (or several thousand) out there writing stories about them getting it on. :D

21. My first (disturbing) experience with that particular erotica niche
was Capt. Kirk & Mr. Spock *shudder*

23. That's where it started, according to most...
In fact, that's where it got its name - the slash symbol between Kirk/Spock. :D

No, I didn't write it. Yes, I enjoyed the hell out of it. No, I'm not sorry for tearing the veil from your eyes about these two and their sexy, sexy man-love. :D
