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.)

1. My thought exactly.
2. I hadn't even thought of that! (Or 3 and 4).

I did enjoy it. I have...issues...with it (all you need is love is as good a message as any but omg, they kept saying it...and saying it...and saying it...) But there were moments that made me happy.

It's a show I watch as kind of a diversion, it doesn't own my soul. The question is how long can I stick with a show that doesn't own my soul. It's been a full 22 episodes and Heroes isn't quite there. But I like a lot of the characters and will check out season 3 just to see what happens to my favorite characters.

It just bothers me that this is the kind of show that depends on plot developments growing out of hints and clues from previous episodes. It's goal is to make you go, "oh, yeah...I hadn't thought of that but it makes perfect sense." And for a show like that to FUCK IT UP is just so much worse than a show like SGA or Alias not making sense.
