| aka: "Ask not what the Company can do for you..." | | | |
Angela searches for her dead sister among the ruins of an old government facility and reveals the tragic origins behind the Company, while everyone else plays nice and Sylar makes a bold move for more power. While Heroes has become less of a “must-see” show for me this season (and since I've been horrifically busy in my real life herding venomous Alpaca snakes in the Canary Islands), I still try my best to keep up-to-date on the show. So, as I caught up on the last two episodes last night, one thing stuck out in my mind about the season's apparent “hit and miss” strategy: they are trying. Really, really trying. |

In the tenth episode of the Season Five, Sayid reflects on the events in his life that brought him back to the island, and his purpose in being there, while Sawyer tries to find a way to help him without blowing their cover.
I have no other way of describing last nights episode other than simply calling it “extremely Lost-ian”. In the show's trademark style, I spent the whole episode preparing and expecting one thing, only to have it spiral out at the last second into something completely different and unexpected.

In the 20th episode of Season 3, Rebel helps Tracy Strauss escape so that she can set a new "betrayals per minute" record, Matt says farewell to Daphne, and Hiro and Ando act like teenage girls for an entire episode. While I'll admit my coverage of Heroes has been... sporadic this season (to say the least), I tuned in with excited glee last night. Promoted by producers and news syndicates nationwide as an almost messianic rebirth, the arrival of seasoned writer Bryan Fuller to the staff was supposed to be the shooting star that fans could hang their hopes and wishes upon. Unfortunately, it became more like a plummeting, sputtering fiery meteor that crashed to earth, instantly cratering upon impact and sending up the final cloud of dust and debris that will undoubtedly signal the end for all life on the planet. The sky is black with last night's fallout, and if someone like Fuller can't pull the show out of it's fiery descent, than god help us all. |
