Heroes - Season 3

Remember when the cast of heroes were doing their season build up interviews for season 3? they said: "THIS SEASON IS WHAT PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER HEROES FOR, IT'LL BE TRULY MINDBLOWING, EPIC" something along those lines on BBC 2. lmfao.
 
There is a good chance Heroes would wound up getting cancelled after this season. Writers would have no one but themselves to blame.
 
I wish I could stop watching programs like some people. Another uninteresting epsiode, we're just ambling through the season. Will say that taking away Hiro's power was a good thing though. Cut out a whole bunch of time-travelling loopholes.

Just watched it, shit episode.

How fecking pointless was the Hiro/Ando Indian wedding storyline. Shit. I fastforwarded every single one of their scenes.

This show is sliding down a hill of shitness.
 
Yep, i've been defending it recently but that was a boring, pointless filler episode. Pile of balls. It'd need to pick up big time over the next couple or i might just sack it. Been watching the Wire and Battlestar anyways

I had to :lol: and :mad: and :rolleyes: at the scene where the bride is actually gay and has to fight all kinds of Indian traditions and taboos to 'be her gay self'. As if we don't have every other Asian film/drama where an Indian guy/girl is a repressed gay person (Bend it like Beckham, Carwash, God knows how many more).

Its not the being gay per se, but the disproportionate use of it in anything sub-Indian that really irks me. I was half expecting Slumdog Millionaire's big brother to turn to be gay as well. :rolleyes: That director missed a trick. :rolleyes:

Sorry to digress, Heroes has fallen into all kinds of depths of shittiness. I'm just watching it to see a conclusion. Any kind of conclusion. Can't see this lasting much longer. Back to Lost for me then.
 
I do watch House.

I thought last night's episode was better, but I don't understand why Matt didn't use his powers to get out of the predicament he was in. All he had to do was get in the swat teams minds and be on his merry way.
You saw how he was all tired out from going in to Bennet's mind. He'd be down right exhausted trying to control the swat team.
 
The most schizophrenic series ever produced. It was bad enough that the characters would morph from one personality to the next so drastically from season to season, now it's more like from episode to episode.

I’ve stopped watching a long while back but the missus says it’s turned into pure shit.

Awesome concept, shit writing.
 
Pretty decent episode this week actually... for anyone still watching it. Now that Sylar's over his daddy issues I think there can be a real plotline with him developing. Also now that Nathan's been found out (about bloody time) chaos is sure to ensure. I hope the writers make something good out of this.
 
Just saw the 19th episode.

It was good, one of the better epsiodes in a long time.

Apparently the guy who wrote Heroes season 1 is back and has started writing from Episode 19(this one)..
 
You're watching on the BBC right? I deliberately didn't mention any because I didn't want to spoil but since you insist (spoiler in white):

Daphne
Tracy (although I have a feeling she's going to regenerate like the evil robot in Terminator 2... the liquid dude)

Thanks. Questions in white.

Tracy is bound to come back - she's been three characters already now! And Daphne is supposed to be alive - does she get killed still?
 
At the end of the last BBC3 episode (last night), at the end it seemed like things will really pick up next week (I hope)

I think it's time Sylar went on a killing spree
 
That Tracy gets on my nerves, completely pointless. She's fit, fair enough, but it seems thats the only reason she is in it.

Sylar should finish her off
 
I feel the last few episodes have begin to build a plot again rather than season 2/volume 3 repeat where random things happen.
 
You could tell from the very first scene of the latest episode, that it's now in the hands of either a different group of writers, or at the very least, a new head writer.

They've tried to give the show a more epic feel with the writing and filming, to suite the fuller (but less personal) story they have with the government plans. The writing was still a little sketchy at times, but it was definitely a huge improvement over what we've seen so far in this volume.

They've suddenly pushed the story forward, moving everything at a higher pace, giving some of the characters more urgency and purpose, it's as though somebody behind the scenes was aware of how stale it had gone; killing off characters that were deadwood and revealing Rebel's identity, who I actually thought delivered a surprisingly decent performance.

Hopefully they continue this form for the rest of the volume.

Like I said about Tracy, I have a feeling she'll be back... actually I'd be willing to bet on it due to the predictability of Heroes. Daphne's truly dead... and I think the scene where she dies was one of the finer ones in Heroes (along with the Hiro and his mum scene).
 
best episode of the volume if not the season by far, seemed alot more like the first season
 
Great episode.

About time they started killing people.
 
Did no-one else see (Spoiler for most recent episode) the shard of Tracy's eye encased in ice wink after Danko had shattered her?
 
One of the main (from what I've read he was the main) writer from Season 1 (Bryan Fuller) was back for this last episode and he wrote this one. I wouldn't say they are fully back on track but this episode definitely had a different feel to it and just felt a lot more like Season 1 than the tripe we have seen in the last few months. They completely lost the plot for a while but definitely an improvement. A lot of guys who have good concepts but they really suck at putting them across well but this Fuller does a good job at it.


Agreed, quite sad that part. At first I was thinking FFS Matt can fly as well now and then you are almost looking out for someone who might be lifting him, then some cheesy dialogue and you think WTF but then you suddenly realise what is really happening. Then they go back to the hospital and you see Mohinder's hand on Matt's shoulder was a bit of a shilling moment that.

Even the comedy between Hiro and Ando seemed a lot better this time. The concept of this show is awesome so hopefully they are back on track now.

If you don't want further spoilers DO NOT read below this





Kind of confirmed that Tracy is not dead and Daphne is definitely gone, going to be another death in the final episode as well.

 
Why are people writing in white text? It is not spoilers to discuss what happened in the last episode.
 
In the UK we are a few weeks so don't want to spoil it for them.
 
Pretty sure Tracy is dead, but I reckon the actress will return as the third triplet.

The actress said that she was looking forward to working with Fuller again as he was the one who worked with her on the first character, so she's definitely not out of the show just yet.


White text end.
