Heroes finale

[ivyfic]

You know, that might have been more shocking had I not already seen dozens of fic in which the exact same thing happened. So I'd like to take a moment to point out a few plot holes:
1 - Shooting Peter wouldn't actually kill him. Seems like the best plan to me.
2 - Peter can fly. On his own, without Nathan's help.
Also:
3 - Fallout
4 - EMP. There should be planes falling from the sky.

Yes, yes, I know it wouldn't be so beautifully tragic if they paid attention to these things, but I like my shows to work for their angst.

The final minute was certainly unexpected, but I'm not all that interested in this apparent new direction. We'll see when the new season starts up if I want to follow it.

At least we finally know what Peter's power is, thanks to Mr. Deveaux. He has the power of heart. (Yes, that sound you hear is the sound of me rolling my eyes.)

The heart thing was cheesetacular, and if they don't bring back Nathan this show is DEAD TO ME. DEAD I SAY.

Someone was telling me that originally the show was supposed to roll over cast members as each story was told. And I don't really give them enough credit to write their way out of this. That's what fanfic is for. :) At least they didn't joss my plot bunny.

Further plot hole:
-Why does Peter randomly start going off like that? For serious.

I'm also kind of annoyed at them pulling Sylar's-dead-no-wait again. They had three villains this season--Linderman, the Company and Sylar--and they hinted at a brand new bigger better villain. So kill off the ones you have! You can't keep Sylar and the Company and the new one going indefinitely unless you show they're linked! Stuff like this happens and I start getting whiffs of the X-Files.

Yeah, I'm trying not to think too much about all the things in this show that bug me. More even than the is-he-dead-no-wait is the fact that so much plot hinges on our characters not thinking more than one step ahead, if that, at any point.

My love for this show is fragile and dependent on the Peter/Nathan, so they better bring that back next year. For them, I can overlook quite a lot of other suckiness, but without them? No.

I've heard they changed their mind on the rolling over cast members thing, because people got too attached to the cast. And really, how dumb is it to roll off beloved characters? The writing isn't good enough for me to be here for the writing.
