Four complaints about 'Heroes'


1) Fetish for tiny, barely legal blondes. When three of your core cast members are short blonde girls who look like children, it's clear that someone has serious issues. Hell, in Season One, they even made Clea Duvall into a blonde, which was an unadulterated travesty. Work out your issues in therapy, freaks.

2) Character interaction is like a child playing with dolls. "Hi, I'm Matt!" "Hi, I'm Daphne!" "Do you want to get married?" "Sure!" *mash dolls together making kissy noises*

3) Serial killer with a heart of gold. This is an old soap opera trick, although in soaps, it's usually rapist with a heart of gold. Add nuance to Sylar? Yes, please! Make him into a misunderstood good guy complete with barely legal blonde love interest? Ehhhhh...

4) If season is called "villains," there should be some villains. As of this week, even Petrelli Senior is showing signs of secret goodness. Sylar has gone soft, along with Elle. The escaped convicts from Level Five have thus far been mostly misunderstood. Frankly, the most evil guy in town at this point is Mohinder, the show's actual protagonist. Calling the season "Villains" implies there will be some really detestable baddies. Yes, please!
