Heroes 3x16

[khana]

How sad is it that right now, the only plotline I can halfway get behind and like is Sylar bonding with some potential killer kid?
God, this show has gotten so strange and stupid, and I don't even recognize most of the characters any longer.
Traci is just stupid, and I can't stop thinking about Nicci when I see her, and Nicci wasn't all that cool to begin with, but way more interesting than Traci.
Nathan is getting just plain evil. What the fuck?
Peter is a huge idiot anyway, They killed off the cute speedster just for the hell of it, making Matt a revenge-seeking idiot as well - and he was kind of the voice of reason! Mohinder has been strange ever since he got himself superpowers. Hiro and Ando aren't even funny any more, just booooring. And Claire is, well, annoying as fuck. Like the comic shop guy so far. Don't like him , though, if he is meant as a potential love-interest for Claire.
And I won't even talk about Noah. Honestly.
Still not a word of Molly, Micah or Monica.
But they have some anonymous message-sender, now. Is it the same one who was there in all the comics last season break? Ooooooh, spooky! -_-
Would like to see Hana again at some point. Or rather, what's left of her.
Dear god, why does this series get more and more stupid with every plot-arc? And why don't I just stop watching it?!

good to know I'm not alone in my annoyance.

super. :)

No!! I'm happy to know that, too. MOST of my fl is like OMGWTF BETTER THAN EVER. And I'm more or less like: What the fuzz? Oo

[khana.livejournal.com]

Where do they see this 'better than ever' business? Seriously, where? Link me, or something? Cause I'm just incredibly annoyed at everything. That I currently almost like Sylar, who should have been killed of two seasons ago, is a strong indicator of that...

[schattenstern]

From what I've heard (granted, my sources are limited two three pro!3rd season people), it's mostly that "the good guys are bad and the bad guys are good and they are such lovely shades of grey and the characters are now so multidimensional and human." Because I'm still going "lalala, my Heroes ends with the season 1 finale, leave me alone, lala", I have no idea if it's accurate or not, obviously, and... no desire to find out, tbh.

ooookay. yes. they have gone for something like that. not completely, but they are switching characters from one side to the other all the time. Which is just annoying and makes them all completely wishy-washy, not multi-dimensional. Come on, what's the harm in good guys being good guys? GRAH!
(not directed at you, of course...)

[schattenstern]

"Wishy-washy" is exactly what it sounded like when I heard a quick description of the current season, but I wasn't sure if that wasn't just thanks to it being a quick summary and the writer & me having different concepts of what counts as "multidimensional" in general.
Right, we don't need to put characters on their heads to give them depth, and if done badly, it does more harm than good. (My least favourite plot twist ever: Fuuma suddenly going from "caring older brother" to "sadistic bastard" in X/1999 for no other reason that... what, destiny?)

[khana.livejournal.com]

I mean, having one or two characters switch sides, maybe even twice, is okay, but doing it all the time, and to just about everyone (I don't even know how often Noah and Nathan have switched now, and Sylar, and... yeah. way too many characters.) just makes it stupid, and has me trust nothing any character does any more, cause it will all be negated three episodes later, anyway.
Yeah, that thing in X/1999 was really really stupid. It had no foundation in the character whatsoever, it was just... possibly necessary for the plot, and, well character "development" shouldn't work like that.

*drückt Staffel eins an sich und geht dann dazu über, sih die Finger in die Ohren zu stecken und "Lalalalalala" zu singen* Heroes hat mehr als eine Staffel? Wus? ^.~

(Hast du zufällig in Dollhouse reigeschaut? Ist das guckbar oder sollte ich mich aktuelle-Serien-technisch lieber Being Human zuwenden?)

[khana.livejournal.com]

Bei being Human hab ich nur Folge eins geguckt, nach dem Piloten. Sieht brauchbar aus, und ich mag das Geist-Mädchen und den Werwolf, aber der Vampir-Plot schien vordergründig zu sein, und ich fand sowohl den Vampir als auch den Plot dazu lahm...

Dollhouse ist... okay. Ich weiß nur noch nicht, inwieweit ich da irgendwas investieren kann, wenn der Hauptcharakter jede Folge praktisch jemand völlig anderes ist. So gunktioniert das Serienkonzept halt, und es ist recht interessant, aber ich gucke Sachen eben am ehesten für Charaktere, und das ist... seltsam.

Guck mal in Leverage rein, da ist die erste Staffel grade zu Ende gegangen, und es ist saucool. 3 von 5 Charakteren sind nur geil. (Dafür sind die anderen beiden ziemlich nervig, aber man nimmt halt, was man kriegen kann...)

[schattenstern]

*wikis Leverage* Hmmm, that sounds interesting.

(Ich hab' immer noch knapp zwei Staffeln Criminal Minds zu gucken, und es ist noch immer großartig (und wird irgendwie immer besser), aber ein bisschen Abwechslung kann ja nicht schaden. ^^)

[khana.livejournal.com]

It *is* interesting.
And if you like the general ideas of all the cons and stuff, but get annoyed by all the robin hood undertones, give 'hustle' a try. it's less robin hoody, but also has less compelling characters. it has the added bonus of being bbc, though, so there are lovely british accents. I'm always a sucker for those...
I should go back to watching Spooks at some point. British accents, as well, and set in the MI5. Have about 5 seasons to go... :)
And then there's loads and loads of Xena, but I can only watch that in small doses. And I have about two seasons of Veronica Mars to re-watch...

the only thing I liked about that episode was Clair's Mom. She was allowed to get some personality.

I like Matt. I hate what they are doing with him :(
