Heroes Finale
Dec 5th, 2007 by abi
Well, it’s finished. What did people make of it? I will be perfectly honest and say that I very much enjoyed it, even if I was a bit underwhelmed.
It’s unfortunate they brought back all the pretentious claptrap I thought they’d done away with. And a little less guff about love being all you need would have been appreciated.
That aside, it kept me well entertained for an evening, the performances were all good, it looked pretty, and (I think) most loose ends were tied up. There was the showdown I had wanted though it was a tad swift and to the point, the baddies were routed, and we did have to lose some of the Heroes.
Satisfactory though not exactly stunning. Might watch the next series. We’ll have to see.
No, Nathan! Don’t tell Peter how much you love him! Because if he goes bang while you’re going on and on about how glad you are he rescued your daughter, you’re going to look pretty stupid for the few picoseconds left before your face evaporates. Actually, why did Peter have to be there at all? After everyone saying time and again how he was the only one who could face Sylar, what bloody use was he, apart from threatening to explode and kill millions of innocent people? Hiro stuck Sylar entirely unaided, and Nikki seem to do far better scrapping with the bad guy than Peter ever did. But what’s even more annoying is that not only was Peter no use, but the floppy-fringed, emminently-punchable whiner is going to survive blowing up and come back next series with yet more tiresome noble suffering.
Still, cars were thrown about, and people beaten with parking meters, so I’m happy.
