Anger subsiding.
Anyway, yes Heroes, crappy yet still infectiously entertaining.
However I do think the strange enchantment that Heroes has over the world populace will wain quickly if it doesn't manage to do a number of things.
1) Have a plot not taken directly from a comic then watered down.
2) Avoid Masi Oka leaping from charming and fun to annoying at the level of Chris Crocker parody videos not done by Seth Green.
3) Have Volume 2 pay off spectacularly. If we have 2 story arcs with a clunky ending there will be little faith that the 3rd will be worth hanging around until 2008 for.
4) Kick arse super hero battles. It was hinted at last season but the money shots were played out behind closed doors, this year we need our jaws swinging from raw power exploding on the screen.
If they make those 4 steps I will be in for the exhilirating journey towards porridge once more.
Well that or they could do something insane like put Veronica Mars on the show hehe.
Cunning bastards.

Tim Kring, when asked about the enormous Peter-can-fly-so-why-did-Nathan-sacrifice-himself-shaped plothole in the finale, said if you're looking for adherence to plots and logic and the rules of their powers, then you're an idiot. It's all about the "emotional truth", according to him. That might wash on Crossing Jordan, but not here, Kringbitch. You're in Nerd Country now. We worry about "plots" and "enormouse nonsensical failures of nerve" and "not understanding your own show or the rules of the genre". Without these things, TV would be anarchy.
That's why I'm apprehensive about the 2nd season. We'll see. I have some hope.
Yeah that whole "liking-plots-that-make-sense" nitpickery of the fanboy populace, we should be flogged I tell you.
All they had to do was establish he could only use one power at a time, but no that would be silly wouldn't it?
No Hope, no hope whatsoever...unless Tim Kring resigns to the fact that he doesnt belong near a pen or a camera... as soon as that happens i might just give season two a shot...doubt it though. Hey Kring, you MF i want back the 24 hours you stole from my life...cock.
