Heroes

Boro_Bandito:
My whole problem with this series is that there's just no way it'll ever be what I want it to be, which is to say a show about superheroes. Sure, they've got awesome powers but the only way they'll ever use them is sort of in these teasing ways that shows they've got them without ever actually doing anything useful on screen. There's no epic battles or choreographed fight scenes because in a TV show they don't have the production time nor the budget to do anything of that scale on a regular basis, or really any basis. Not to mention that they've got every single character emo and angst filled to the absolute limit anyway.

Also, I've said this before in the other thread and I'll say it again. If they actually ever had "fighting" Peter and Sylar are just way too fucking powerful, they've outstripped the other characters in ability just due to the nature of their own powers that its comically bad. Seriously, both of those characters have to die if the show is going to have any longevity on a believable level, or lose a lot of their fucking powers. I mean, you can see it in the future, where Peter has come into contact with like fifty or a hundred other people with powers, he'd be a god, I mean, he's already immortal and blessed with the powers of creation and destruction. Jesus.

All that said I do watch the show every frikkin' week and I think it started out well this season. damnit.

I don't know why they ever cranked up Peter's powers.

Sylar's fine to be overpowered. Villains are more interesting when they're a tough son of a bitch.

Peter, however, stopped being interesting when he got control of his powers.

What's needed is a deus ex machina where they re-gimp Peter's powers back to him needing to be in close proximity or make them dangerously out of control.

RobbieOC:
...like amnesia? They came so close!

You're right on about Sylar, though. A villain has to be more powerful than the heroes, or there's no suspense. That's why Magneto and Dr. Doom and Loki are so awesome as villains (and as characters, really), because they are so ridiculously powerful. It's takes a whole team of X-Men to take out Magneto, it takes the whole Fantastic Four to take out Dr. Doom, and it takes the power of a god, and maybe the most powerful character in Marvel, to even put up a fight against Loki. Sylar is similar. The heroes (Hiro, Peter, Claire, etc.) have such cool powers, and are so strong that Sylar has to be even more powerful for it to even seem worthwhile for them to fight.

These episodes are already better than the whole of season two.

Jackie Blue:
Peter's powers are gimped by the fact that his apparent purpose in the series is to fuck everything up.  That was a joke in the first two seasons, but it now actually appears to be a legitimate theme they're using.

RobbieOC:
Which, I'm actually OK with. It's not a bad device to use to keep him busy while the bad guys do their villainy schemes, and then at the end of the story they fight.

But, of course, there are two Peters now!
