three things i believe season three needs
shirtless or not, the season is going to need a lot of peter petrelli using his powers if it is going to be enjoyable. it better not be like last season where he was all clueless and such. i realize part of the appeal of the series is that it’s not entirely a super hero show, but more like regular people coping with emerging super powers. however, i believe after the atrocity that was season two, we ALL deserve to see some epic showdowns.
2. an actual story arc sans extranneous characters no one cares about
things in season two didn’t really get going until quite some time. season three needs to step up and immediately establish a definitive bad guy/destruction of humanity plotline. then, there needs to be a healthy mix of main character development and plot movement. one of the huge mistakes of season two was how the plot moved like matt parkman running the mile and then they tossed in random side characters that NOBODY in the ENTIRE WORLD cared about (i won’t even dignify them by mentioning names). it was almost as if some writer kept throwing out ideas for “cool” characters, and not wanting to hurt his/her feelings, everyone just agreed. i don’t know, maybe said writer was somebody’s mentally challenged relative. at least, that’s what i’ll tell myself so that i can keep faith in HEROES.
3. a single midget
why, you ask? well more than one midget would make the show ridiculous. har har. but seriously, everyone knows that the addition of a midget always improves anything by at least ten fold. and i don’t just mean ratings, i mean actual substance. cases in point: professional wrestling, daytime soap opera, the act of tossing, chocolate factories, the land of OZ. i could continue this list all day long, except i have better things to do. (fine, other things to do (fine, nothing to do (fine, i’m going to sit at home and ogle the girls in the victoria’s secret catalogue (fine, JCPenny’s catalogue)))).
dag. you’re pretty desperate if you’re trying to use the JC Penny’s catalogue to fill the void.
yeah season 3 better be big payoff party time. although if indeed Elle is out, there is gonna be some new character that is gonna be about as cheap of a substitute as your magazine.
