One more chance. Karen jokes that I say this every week, but this time I'm SERIOUS!
The past couple of episodes have just been dull on top of boring for Heroes. Peter and HRG visit a kid whose power is basically stolen from Pushing Daisies long enough for Peter to steal the power and for the kid to be exposed as a freakish parent-killer. Then Peter leaves to help Hiro, who has gone off in time to save Charlie back in the first season, while HRG sticks around to play Big Brother to the new kid. He calls in Tracy for backup.
Naturally, all goes well, except for the part where the kid gets dragged to death through town by the cops.
Back at Camp Parkman, BrainSylar and Matt are vying for control of Parkman's body - and I think Janice would probably vote in favor of BrainSylar. Matt, let's face it, you apparently don't bring the A game.
At Sunnyvale University...er, wait, wrong school...Claire and her gal-pal make meta jokes about slash fiction sites on the web and endure a hazing ritual in a slaughterhouse that ends with impaling and one too many "OH MY GOD."
If this show goes on for another season, it really needs to undergo a massive purge. It's suffering from character bloat and crisis-itis. The bloat in this show is so bad that some characters have gone double to show up in almost every scene, like Sylar. I fully expect the third Tracy to show up any time. Maybe an evil twin for Hiro?
