Save the psychopath, save the world?
So, I was watching Heroes last night whilst playing WoW.. cause I'm pretty leet like that.. and I have to say.. I'm very, very confused.

I'm not confused as far as the plot.. I understand exactly what's going on, and could probly guess with reasonable certainty how this season is going to play out. That's what gets me, though. The first season of the show, I'll admit, I didn't watch until the second season had already started. But when I watched it, I was enamored.. stunning characters, vividly drawn and detailed. The universe in which these people lived and struggled wasn't so far removed from our own.. it wasn't anything special, but it was real.. and that was cool. The plot.. sometimes it seemed like it was there, sometimes it seemed like it wasn't.. but then BAM, something hit you from left field and left you kind of wondering exactly what they'd do next.

Well, that was season 1. Season 2 was just.. well, it wasn't that. Season 3 had me going for the first couple of episodes, it really, really did. But then.. everything became just a little too predictable. A little too anti-climactic. A little too blech-y. It's still fun enough to watch, but it doesn't have me glued to the TV the way the first season did. I still KINDA care about what's happening to the characters, but.. not as much as when I wasn't sure if they were going to live or not. There was a moment in last night's episode where I was a little worried, but that faded pretty fast and kind of put an exclamation point on what I'd already been feeling.

Will I still watch it? Yea. Hell, I was 3/4 watching My Own Worst Enemy and I don't even like Christian Slater.

It was good times while it lasted.. I guess I'm just kind of settling for a prime-time drama turned mid-day soap opera now.
