With all the continuity errors, this icon is totally appropriate!

So, Heroes.

I stayed up until 3 am because the show was on for two hours and I had a lot to recap, and I still only got the first half done for Pink Raygun. I trimmed and I trimmed. I still had eight pages of verbal head-banging-aganist-the-wall.

Oh, my science hurts. I don't know that I can go into it again here. I'll post the review when it goes up over at PR, but I'm this close to crying, I was so confused and frustrated by everything that happened last night. This is what madness must be like, to see people behaving as if they're rational and things are normal while everything inside of you is screaming that it's wrong, ALL WRONG. They can't have...they didn't...they couldn't possibly have...

At this point, I would totally accept "And then they all woke up" as being the entire next episode.

They want to reboot for new viewers by screwing their own world to hell. I sort of get that. I've been a new fan in enough genre stuffs to be okay with that. Now I understand the pain of the mainstays. But WTF, this show isn't even three full seasons old! It doesn't have enough continuity established yet for them to be tossing it overboard in favor of new viewers! Shanti virus says what? I've seen better consistency in lumpy cake batter.

So the writers loved One More Day so much that they decided to do it for Heroes, is what you're saying?

Which "One More Day" are you talking about? The one in Spider-Man continuity?

I guess I was too giddy chanting "Wee-vil!" to pay a lot of attention. ;) - actually, we were trying to figure some things out afterward. We have some theories. Like the company being a big breeding experiment group. LOL.

We have some theories. Like the company being a big breeding experiment group.

Or just one big incestuous orgy. If they don't find some way to cross-breed all the characters into the Petrelli family, I'd be very much surprised. Eugenics would actually be a welcome development if it meant that there was a plan behind the soap-operatic cliches.

When I got a good look at him and said "Weevil!" negativeq asked me what his power was.

"Being a sarcastic badass" was my response.

Honestly, I just want one team-up between him (even if it's Peter in his body) and Ms. Zappy.

Ha, me too. My boyfriend missed half of it, and when he came home I'm pretty sure the first thing I said was, "Ok, so, Peter Petrelli is in Weevil. No, I don't get it."

Weevil this, Weevil that...are we watching Torchwood or Heroes.

If it's the science that bothered you, sure, I agree. And if it was some of the characters, absolutely. But I actually enjoyed the season opener. It had an energy and a pacing to it that they lacked most of last season. We were excited when we realized it was going into a second hour, and that eagerness to keep watching hasn't happened in a while.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Oh man, were we watching the same show? I looked up at the clock and it was only 9:30 at one point and I wanted to cry. The second hour went faster, but that first hour crawled.

[gryphonrose.livejournal.com]

Heh, I wonder. Esp. since I've heard several others decrying the ep and *I* am usually the nitpicky one!

Oh, well, no one is ever as hard or as easy to please as me. In this case, it was the former rather than latter.
