Heroes has become the show that I love to hate, which is ironic, considering my raving accolades of the show during its first seaons (right up until the debacle that was called the season finale). It’s actually quite gratifying to see several other sources around the web share my disdain for Kring and his sub-par [...]

No Heroes
From the sounds of this review (Warning! Spoilers!) of the Heroes season premier, I’m not at all sorry I’m ignoring the show this year. Sounds as though Kring is still writing flimsy plotlines, and I think I’d find myself ranting on and on about that. I had (very) small hopes that the writing might improve [...]
Heroes Cast Resurrected?
Word’s out today that a couple of the characters from Heroes last season may not, in fact, actually be dead. It’s doubtful that this will be enough to bring me back to watch Season 2 – I still think the writing near the end of the first season was pretty lousy. But it is interesting that Kring [...]

Season 1 of Heroes goes on sale August 28th. Nope, I won’t be buying it.
Heroes: Season One in Review
Well, Season One of Heroes is now complete, and to be honest, I’m not sure I’ll even bother tuning in for Season Two. Tim Kring has me that upset with his piss-poor writing. I could have written a better show here, and I’ve been tempted to draft a couple of sample scripts for episodes myself [...]
Heroes: How To Stop An Exploding Man
I’ve little good to say about this season finale. To say it was anti-climactic would be a major understatement. It was simply terrible.
Sure, Kring tied up most of his loose ends – Claire found her adoptive father again, Niki finally banished the demon of Jessica and reunited with Micah and D.L., Hiro fulfilled his fate and saved Ando [...]
Heroes: Landslide
Next to last episode of the season, and this one comes with a bit of the good and a bit of the bad. Let’s start with the bad.
Once again, Mr. Kring demonstrates a bad case of clumsy screen-writing. He’s driving at a goal, that being the impression that the future simply cannot be changed. Everything that [...]
Heroes: The Hard Part
It’s nice to see some lingering humanity in our favorite villain. He’s still a monster – but apparently he’s got a code of ethics, such as it is. Sylar kills the other Specials, takes their abilities, because he views them as being unworthy. He sees himself as the only one worthy to carry all these abilities and [...]
Heroes: Five Years Gone
I have to admit, Mr. Kring, that last night’s episode was better than some of your most recent episodes have been. It wasn’t blow-you-out-of-the-water good, it wasn’t showstopping or jawdropping, but the scripting was at least consistent and driving all the way to the end. I didn’t notice any glaring holes in the plot, no [...]
Heroes: .07%
I just love it when I’m right. I had predicted that Linderman was himself special, hence his fascination and connection with every single one of our heroes in this show – and I was right! Granted, the man is also a stark, raving lunatic, but I do believe his intentions are good. But it is not just [...]
