Heroes Live-Blog the Third
Posted at 8:40 PM Oct 06, 2008
Lest you forget, Topless Robot's increasingly mean Heroes live-blog will start promptly at 9 p.m. EST. Sorry for you folks who see Heroes later, but now it just mean we know what preposterously stupid plot points occur and what bizarre, utterly inappropriate ways the characters are acting despite their previous two seasons of meager development a few hours before you do (or weeks, for our Topless Friends in foreign lands).
I was willing to forgive some nonsense when the show premiered two weeks ago, since it had a plethora of twists (some good, some bad), but last episode seemed very much like they were making it up as they went along. Heroes has already squandered my goodwill, and I already regret agreeing to live-blog the entire season. Don't let me suffer alone! Pull up a fifth of vodka, and stop by!

Posted 10/06/2008 at 03:32:00 PMPeople complain about season 2, but if you ignore Hiro's time-traveling buddy comedy gone wrong, and Claire's new boyfriend who (suprise!) can fly, it was really pretty good, but the climax needed a lot more than "Bad guy drops deadly virus. Good guy catches it."

That was because of the writer's strike. The original ending involved the vial shattering before Peter even decides to start running towards the vault. The next eight episodes would have dealt with the virus outbreak.
I don't really see this "out of character" thing, though. Except Sylar, but he's always wierd. A lot of the "errors" I saw people pointing out during the live blog had more to do with them paying more attention to the chat than the show.

There's plenty of us who enjoy the show who are blogging about it that you shouldn't feel any need to write about it for the good of all geekdom.
Posted 10/06/2008 at 04:57:13 PMOkay, it's over, and the funniest part was this:
After Future Sylar explodes, they go to a car commercial without telling you. The commercial begins with rescue workers in some sort of disaster area. Was this intentional, and was it just a regional thing? Did anybody else see the commercial, or was it just aired in Oklahoma?
The stupidest part was Peter craving brains because he FIXED A DAMN WATCH THAT WAS BARELY BROKEN IN THE FIRST PLACE! I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. Anyway, good job on the whole live blog thing, Rob. Keep going no matter how many Drunken British Samurais and Zombie Watches there are.
