Watched the Heroes Finale?

[KaciBlakely]

If you did tell me if you liked it or hated it by voting tell me why please?

Myself I was personally disappointed because we were made to believe that we would finally see a hug fight between Sylar and Peter and we missed it.

All we got to see was Claire's eye through the door while she watched but what's the point if the audience doesn't get to see it!

It's a great show and I've never missed an episode but sometimes it frustrates me to no end.

Heroes is a show I regularly watch and I have to agree with Kaci,
that was a very dissapointing finale. I was finally able to see the
weak scripting. to go along with the sometimes weak acting.
That said: American Idol is the ticket in Hollywood right now.
Everyone who is anyone is trying to get tickets for their daughters
and themselves to see the Adam Lambert Show. This kid can croon
with the best of them. He will be an icon like Prince and Elvis and he can
sing better than both of them. If you haven't seen him perform yet,
you are missing out. The new Elvis has arrived and he is rocking the house.
My wife drools everytime she sees him and that song "Ring of Fire" he did
was chilling. Smokey Robinson gave Adam a standing ovation with his rendition of " Tracks of my tears". WOW I saw Smokeys eyes and there was
true admiration in them. This week Jamie Fox says to Adam " You don't even care who I am do you" meaning he is the real deal.
Only 4 weeks left and I can't wait till next tuesday to see Adam again. YES

By the way I want to watch both because Heroes is on Monday and Idol on Tuesday and I have DVR. Doesn't evrybody.

I have not seen one episode of American Idol at all this season!

I know shocking right!

Also, I listen to the Heroespodcast.com The Tenth Wonder podcast.

It's great freeringo, you should definitely give it a listen.

The best season finale ever was last weeks episode of the
Sarah Conner Chronicals. It was the best TV I have ever witnessed.
So shocking and intense that I leaped from my bed shouting " NO WAY
NO FN WAY". Having DVR, I watched the last few minutes over and over.
What a finish and the previews for next season were so exciting.
I can't wait.

[KaciBlakely]

Since you are a big fan of the Sarah Conner Chronicles do you listen to the podcast about it?

It's a great podcast ran by DereK Russell.

He's a good friend of mine.

I don't understand why the show keeps getting threatened to get axed though.

That part of it doesn't make sense.

It's great acting and writing and there is an audience for it.

But every season finale/drop off there are always reports that its getting axed.

I really hope it's not true though.

I like Brian Austen Greene.

And his fiance Megan Fox is cool too.

Anyways.

Unfortunately this seems to be the popular opinion when asked if they liked the finale or not. Sad, sad, because I just love the show.

Heroes Volume 4 Finale: I Can’t Decide if I Liked It, Leaning Toward “No

Right away, we find out how Sylar survived a knife to the “sweet spot” in the back of his head. Fully understanding his shapeshifting ability, he simply moved the spot to a different, presumably well-protected area. Works for me. He becomes pretty much immortal, and with his ability to know an object’s or person’s history by touching it, Sylar seems a sure bet to meet and touch the President. Claire, Nathan, Peter, and Angela go after Sylar, while Hiro and Ando invade building 26. Noah, after a brief hiatus, joins in the hunt for Sylar. The plot is set, and we know that it’s whether or not Petrelli & Associates can stop Sylar before he meets the President. There are a few wrinkles, though.

For one, Hiro gets messed up every time he stops time: first, his nose bleeds, next, it’s his ear. The writers did a good job of limiting time travel or manipulation - a concept that has plagued this show - and setting up a Hiro self-sacrifice scenario. One big problem with Heroes is that characters usually don’t stay dead (more on that later), so Hiro killing himself to save others at some point in the future wouldn’t be a bad idea - and a good way to write the character off the show. He’s used mostly for comic relief, time travel has proved precarious, and I think most fans agree he’s worn out his welcome. I don’t mean for this review to be a “how to fix Heroes” article, but it’s tough to not point out the potential a show like this has.

Nathan and Peter get to Sylar eventually, and there’s a huge, explosive fight…but we never see it. Maybe the budget is tight, maybe the director was going for style points, or maybe two dudes flying around a man shooting lightning would probably look pretty silly. In any event, Peter managed to touch Sylar and gain his ability. Which ability, we don’t find out until later.

Nathan and Sylar soon confront one another and in a scene I definitely did not expect, Sylar uses telekinesis to slit Nathan’s throat. It was f*cking sweet. But once again, Heroes figured out a way to bring the dead back to life.

It turns out Peter absorbed Sylar’s shapeshifting ability and then beat Sylar to the President. Looking just like the President, Peter ambushes Sylar and hits him with a tranq in the thoat. Sylar can’t die (we have to assume the “sweet spot” is virtually impossible to find), so what will Noah and the Petrellis do with the body? This is where the show gets pretty creative (or maybe it just ripped from X-Men?) and takes a chance to do something different than what it has done in the past. That’s a good sign. Since Sylar has almost all of Nathan’s memories, Parkman is able to wipe away all personalities and memories Sylar has collected - including his own - except Nathan’s. Sylar’s body shapeshifts to look like Nathan, and Viola! Sylar is dead, Nathan is back.

If that was the end, I think I’d be OK. I’d be disappointed Sylar was killed (he’s my favorite character on the show; without a powerful villain, heroes are nothing), but at least the show figured out a way to kill off a 1) seemingly immortal character and 2) a major character. But no. In the prologue to Volume 5, we see Nathan telling Angela he hasn’t been feeling like himself. He realizes that a clock is a second or two fast, and it’s clear that Sylar is starting to develop inside of Nathan. Once again, nobody stayed dead, and where’s the suspense now in Volume 5? We know that Nathan will struggle to keep Sylar from emerging, and I’m sure we’ll have a big, dramatic “I’m back!” scene from Sylar.

And just to nitpick, Sylar wasn’t able to fly, right? If “new” Nathan has all of Nathan’s memories, won’t he be curious to know why he can’t fly anymore? Am I wrong on this?

I know it sounds like I hated the finale, but I really didn’t. I thought some scenes were pretty cool. It’s just that I really don’t have any desire to watch Volume 5, and once again, I was left disappointed by a show that I think has a lot of potential. Sort of like how my ex-girlfriends feel about me.


That's how most of the reviews are going and it seems like a bad thing for my favorite show on network television. Eek! I'm scared that it won't come back after next season.

Guess we'll just wait and see.

I watch hereos regularly, but the last 2 seasons I just watch it on the internet. Most the time 2 or three episodes at a time. I still like the show but its not as good as it once was and leaves you disappointed most the time... Like the sylars dad thing, that went nowhere. Alot of the story lines recently seen to go nowhere. I dont want the show to get cancelled buy def this year I was more of a fan of 24 and supernatural.

[KaciBlakely]

I don't think the show will cancelled but now that they are over the virus and all this superman sh!t I think it will get a lot better.

You must watch on Hulu!

I think they just started something in season 2 with the virus and because of the writers strike it took a little bit to get out of it, because they can't just throw it away and have fans say that didn't make any sense.

I really the strike messed up alot of it, but it seems like it's getting better and I'm looking forward to season 4 myself.

[eejit101]

Ive not read any of tis as im only just starteing wtahing Heroes.

Just watched season 1 and 2, and chapter 3 : Villains. Which is half of season 3. Downloading the rest now.


Do me a favour, if your posting something about a show other might not have seen, write that the post contains a spoiler in it please? Just incase. As ppl might get mad!

[KaciBlakely]

Okay I'm sorry about that eejit. Hopefully you will definitely like the remainder of it. What did you think of the first episode of season 3? Did you like that it was Peter that came back in the first chapter of Volume 3: Villans?

Let us know please.

And I will do the whole spoilers for that. Sorry about it didn't realize it but I will do it next time if I post about an episode/tv series.

[eejit101]

Never watched it KAci but i heard it was good.....

not my kind of tv show to watch......

other than sports i like rescue me, califorancation, sopranos, south park and family guy

oh yea cash cab!!!!!!!

[KaciBlakely]

I've never seen any of the above shows you just mentioned thenutzz. I'm being honest and that probably shocks you I'm sure, but I just don't pay attention to those kinds of shows.

I like Harper's Island, Lie To Me, Southland, and some others like Heroes.

THose are the types of shows I am really really interested in.

Cash Cab is the best TV show EVAR! Ben Bailey is the man.

[KaciBlakely]

I guess it's not an American show? Does that sound ignorant? I've just never heard of it in my entire life til you guys brough it up. It does not sound familiar at all either.

[eejit101]

New episode of Lost and Scrubs tonight!!!!

Cant wait!

[eejit101]

Well, i finally got caught up to the end of season 3. Im not that bothered we missed it as i led to the surprise for the President bit. Good ending at the end (where else would it be!)

And for acting - Come on, Angela Petrelli is the best actor ive seen in ages. She should win some kind of award for her emotional acting.
