'Heroes' recapping...

And my final recap of the Heroes half-season is up now at Film.com. Here's hoping 2008 is better for the show.

Comment here, if you like.

Here in the UK, they showed the last two episodes of season one last night. Preceded by this trailer...

Torchwood meets Heroes? That's what we fanfic writers call a crossover... and I love it. I wanna write that story...

SPOILERS

SPOILERS

Well, I'm hoping that Ali Larter wanted to be written out of the series so that she could go back to her movie career because otherwise...the latest plot developments concerning her character suck...

But then she's had a worse storyline this season than she had last season...which I didn't think was possible.

Other thoughts:

Adam seemed just a bit too much like BTVS's Spike to be all that appealing to me.

Nor do I get all the fuss over Sylar. Yes, he was a very creepy guy in Season One--at least until he had that encounter with his mother which was more laughable than enlightening. (She made him a tuna fish sandwich that he didn't ask for...The horror!) But this season. Not so much. And how did he survive getting a sword in the chest anyway? It's Clair who had the amazing healing powers...

I'm glad to see Hiro and his friend survive.

But what about poor Caitlyn?

And since when is Peter the conscience of the show? I always thought that was Hiro.

And Elle--aka Dark Veronica--apparently is the new Rogue. When she's not playing a Joss Whedon villainess.

BTW, the reset button comment was cute. And oh so appropriate.
