Which part of which season are you in?

If you're watching "Vol. 3: Villains," STOP. It's not a good volume. "Vol. 4: Fugitives" is AWESOME. But "Villains"... ::shudder::

I think it's vol 4, unfortunately. I'm afraid I still don't think it's any good. Perhaps if season 2 and the first part of season 3 had never happened, I might not think so, but now I fear it's too late.

:-/ I guess that's true. I forgive too easily sometimes. I have an attention span of shiny, so when things start becoming enjoyable for me again, I tend to forget about the bad things I hated.

Which episde are/were you watching?

It was the one where Matt, Mohinder and Peter are interrogating Noah Bennett.

I just got fed up with all the double-dealing. People change sides in this show far too often, and because of all the silly stuff in the first part of the season none of it makes much sense. Plus, I really hoped Daphne was dead because I found her so annoying.

Oh well. It passes the time, and I'm glad you're enjoying it anyway.

I threw in the towel early in S2. Although, I think the writing was already on the wall in the S1 finale.

I quite liked the finale of season 1, though I agree it didn't quite deliver. What a build-up, though.

Such a shame.

I agree. I couldn't be bothered to fight with MWNN to switch over from Marcel Theroux's search for Wabi Sabi in Japan.

Damn, I meant to watch that! I hope they'll repeat it. And nice icon. I've never seen that pic before. Where's it from?

It's one of Bendy1's. I think it's from one of James' interviews.

Found the site with the interview screencaps here

Ooh! Thanks so much. Those are all new to me.

Yes. I seriously contemplated switching off half-way through. I've just stopped caring about these people and the intestinal and unconvincing convolutions of the plot.

Same here. They're all so bloody annoying! And another person switches sides for any reason whatsoever, I think I'm going to scream.

I gave up a few episodes into this season. I have never seen a show with such random characterization. Plus, they all have brains the size of a flea's.

I agree, except that fleas are probably more intelligent.

I had to give up on Heroes in S2, I just couldn't take it anymore. I saw bits of it more recently, but ... it seems the only way to enjoy it anymore is to think of it as absolutely whacked-out crack and adopt an utterly undemanding and uncritical attitude. Meh.

I managed okay with season 2. Lots of people didn't like it but I thought it wasn't too bad. Where the show jumped the shark for me was when old Daddy Petrelli was introduced as a villain, and all that silly business with Mrs Petrelli pretending to be Sylar's mother etc etc.

So pointless and stupid.

I've had the last three episodes of Vol 3 stored on my Plus box since BBC3 first showed 'em, and still haven't managed to bring myself to watch any.

Season 1 was so good. What the hell happened?

I don't know. Hubris?

Yeah, that sounds about right. At least the Beeb have stopped doing those self-satisfied behind the scenes of Heroes things.

heh. I backed away from that steaming pile of crap after the beginning of s3 failed to fix things like it had promosed.

Far from fixing it, I think it made it far, far worse.

:sigh:

Er, I'm confused about what's in the volumes but I think I never got to the episode you just saw. I've heard Lost got much better lately but the problem is often when the shows start really tanking (and IMO Lost never got as bad as Heroes) the show would have to be twice as good as it once was to get me back.

Yes, I feel the same. I'm sorry to say there's no coming back for Heroes.
