Regular Heroes Blogging Abandoned

4 episodes into Season II, Heroes has run out of content that appears blogworthy.


Maybe Silar will end up as a good guy.


Maybe no dead or wrong character is ever really dead, wrong, or dead wrong.


Maybe weak character dynamics are all part of the master plan and not merely ruining the strong ensemble cast. If only the writers had less influence than the casting director. We get it that Cheerleader and Dad aren't getting along. We get it that Parkman and Suresh don't know how to help a child with nightmares. We get it that Brother Cure and Sister Ill are running from the law and for the border. What we don't get is appreciable plot progression.

Josh K informs me the goal is to create so many characters and plots that they can split and spin off the content into multiple series. I don't know where he gets this but he would know. Look for my flagging interest to increasingly flag.

So, my commitment to blogging every episode is officially over. It might resume but those of you waiting with baited breath should probably switch baits.
