Heroes, heroes, heroes...
What has become of us?!
I have been a loyal fan for YEARS!! But, alas, I feel like we've grown apart. Yes, I am likening my interest in the show to that of an ending relationship
1. I just don't feel the same way anymore. We've lost that 'spark'. The passion is gone. Everything that I loved about you in the beginning is no longer present. I thought that you were a family-friendly show that encouraged people to believe in themselves and the uniqueness of others. You focused on regular people with extraordinary abilities. You were easy to watch, follow, and understand --now you've changed so much that I barely recognize you. No excitement. No cliffhangers. No more twists. Just predictability.
2. You've lost your identity. A few years ago you had all the elements of a perfect series: humour, drama, romance, some facts/some fiction, always intriguing, often quirky, and groundbreakingly diverse. Now, you are a FOLLOWER! You're just like the rest of the TV crowd only you don't fit in because you're about 3 years too late. You have elements of Prison Break, you're a 24 wannabe, you wishyouwere the West Wing. Ughh, instead of daring to be different (YOURSELF) you'd rather be 'in'!
3. I don't like your new friends! WTF?! Weird new 'agents'? Stereotypical comic book store customers? Even the original castmembers?! Where has the quality of the characters gone? Don't you CARE? Where is the all-important character development? (Where are their acting skills?) I can barely even relate to you anymore! Instead of seeing people that 'could be' my next door neighbors (remember Charlie, Monica...heck, even Maya!) I'm left with crooked government agent DANKO?! You must be kidding me. The people around you represent you...and this season is just horrible
4. You disappoint me. I can hardly bring myself to watch you on Mondays because I'm so saddened to see what you've become. So much potential...yet you've fallen into this downward spiral and you keep getting progressively worse. I can't even visit our mutual friends (HEROESTV.COM) because I'm afraid to hear what they're saying about you behind your back. I want you to get better but first you need to WANT to change.
5. What's the point of it all? Tell me you have a purpose. Tell me you have a goal. Please tell me that you don't really want to take me down a 'terrorist' storyline!! I'll take anything over that. Because a fantasy show that wants to be relevant should just stick to the bare basics of human nature instead. Teach me a lesson subtley instaed of trying to shove it down my throat. Let me watch a general scenario...give me both WELL THOUGHT OUT sides...and let me form my own opinions. I would rather spend a season preventing disasters and chasing crazy but likeable villains (Sylar/ Adam/Arthur Petrelli) any day... rather than get a headache from watching people stand against the government. Again, WHAT'S THE POINT?!
6. Don't get me wrong...I'm all about maturing. Hey we've spent 3 years together, right?! But this path you're on is just not my flavor. I still love you and all...and I WANT to stay together so please, please, PLEASE figure it!! Otherwise we'll just continue to drift apart until there's just nothing left to keep us together.
