Heroes

SylarI’ve been watching the TV series, Heroes, since it first premiered. Although I thought it was a knock off of X-Men, it did have some fresh twists on the mutant-hero concept; like Sylar, a mutant serial killer; and Claire, a teenager who can heal so fast that she masochistically hurls herself off of buildings and jumps in front of trains just to test her limits. That was pretty cool.

However, after last night’s episode, Sylar is the only reason I am going to continue watching the show. The story line has gotten so ridiculous that you would think a couple of 12-year-olds were sitting around, randomly pulling super powers out of their ritalinized minds, to fill episode space. There is no more explanation of anything. The plot has completely disintegrated. And just about the only redeeming quality the show has, is decent special effects.

So, like I said, I am going to continue watching Heroes, but for only one reason. I am going to keep watching until Sylar has killed every last one of those X-Men wannabe, mutant posers!
