This Week's Heroes: A
That's right, this week, we're giving Heroes a simple yet classy A. For a show that can be a bit maudlin at times, this week was refreshingly clean and elegantly produced. OH WAIT, OH MY GOD HER EYES ARE BLEEDING BLACK BLOOD AND EVERYONE'S DEAD! Oh the humanity! Oh God why?! Why have you cursed her so?!?!?!
Points of Interest:
-Seriously, Maya's death eye thing is craaaazy! How can that be caused by a genetic mutation? That doesn't even make sense. And what are we to make of this whole crossing the border storyline anyway? Is Heroes making a statement? Is NBC attempting to provoke a nativist backlash against Honduran immigrants by portraying them as demon cursed harbinger's of death? Also...
-...Is it even really that easy to sneak across the border? There's just a tunnel out there with no lock on it? Just hanging out. What ever happened to that hi-tech camera wall we were gonna build there?
-Claire's BF: Love him or lose him? We just can't decide...his name is West...
-So that Irish chick, she sucks. She has one of those melty tattoos. Which makes sense. We've gotten an evil vibe from her since the very beginning. In any event, we need Peter more than she does! The world needs Peter. If you truly love him, Caitlyn, you must let him go...
-And speaking of hos in love, that Japanese girl in the past is going to be annoying, we can tell. Hiro's going to be all kinds of stupid over her and frankly, we're tired of it already. Get over it. When will people learn? Women always hold you back.
-And just as we were getting over the death of Mr. Sulu (Who's deep voice belies a gay spirit.) along comes Uhura to take his place. She's Micah's...aunt? Maybe? She's not a Gramma, is she? Whatever she is she's practicing some kind of Dion Warwick-esque voodoo magjickk and we loooove it.
-Sylar is back! Still cruhazy, still mean, still sexxxy. But all his powers are gone! Oh no! What'll we do? Hey try eating the fat girl's head. See if that works. No? Oh that's a bummer...
