Can we just have a TVIV mod rename this thread until S5 of AoS starts? No sense making a new thread for an 8 episode miniseries that probably not a lot of people will be talking about...

If you care at all about spoilers for the premiere, know that they screened the first twenty minutes at the panel and details are floating around (here's a spoiler: I saw it and it's good).

There's that one episode of the original Galactica series("Experiment In Terra") that was basically a dry run for QL, where Apollo is sent back in time in order to Put Right What Once Went Wrong. He even has an invisible helper that only he can see and hear.

They didn't even have a plan for the season which aired.

God that was such a loving trainwreck I couldn't even hate watch it to mock it.

Heroes Reborn was AAA amazing television compared to peak poo poo Heroes, like Season 3. (Season 2 was loving terrible but mostly boring and slow, Season 3 was 'Make up new dumb poo poo every 20 seconds')

The third season is my gold standard in bad TV, bad none. I once tried to count the plot holes in the first episode having seen the whole season and stopped when I hit like 80. Yes, 80 plot holes in 40 some minutes of television. It was like "Holy loving hell they're throwing out dumb poo poo at 2-3 a minute!"

Seriously. Dexter tried. American Horror Story's third season gave it a real run. But holy fuckballs was season three, in my humble opinion, the most incoherent and stupid TV to ever be aired. Layers of stupid. A fine cake of stupid. The kind of stupid to be studied, to make writers compose essays about so they learn from it's mistakes, so that we may never repeat that poo poo again.

Anyone who never saw Heroes, just watch season 1, pretend it's a miniseries, and forget anything else exists. There was some actual good poo poo in season 1 and it was meant to rotate the cast every season so it's pretty contained. You know that scene in every zombie movie where someone sees a loved one looking like a gnawed on, torn apart corpse shambling at them? Yeah that's how you'll feel about the rest of the show is like that if you don't stop there.

ED: I will say the interviews with Bryan Singer from his brief return and the other writers on Heroes are loving amazing. The most dysfunctional poo poo ever going on there (Singer left during the writer's strike with the rest of the team and they got terrible people to replace them after the strike). But long story short, Tim Kring is a moron who likes people to "make up stuff on the fly," and actively encouraged each writer to try to gently caress up the story and put the next writer that had to continue it in a corner. This combination and the fact this turned the writing room into a battle ground was just fascinating.

I remember reading an interview one week when Sylar got shapeshifting powers that season. "We carefully setup ground rules, spent a lot of time establishing them. He can't change his clothes this way, or size drastically. We didn't want this to become overpowered." They were very sincere. The VERY NEXT episode he turns into a little kid, with new clothes, complete with backpack and functional removable items.

Totally agree, though I’d go as far as to say the series ends when Sylar catches Claire and they have an awkward chat as he picks over her brain. The completely anticlimactic non-event after a full season of build up followed by his “welp, see ya!” was just perfect and if it cut to black right there I’d have been good.

What followed.... I... was not good. :(

That's the best answer, yes. I actually turned off my TV when they killed Nathan and then, instead of using Claire's blood to revive him, like they did for Noah, they forced Sylar to be Nathan. That's the only time I've ever turned off the TV during a show because I was disgusted with it.

oh my god I totally forgot about that nugget :psyduck:

My favorite was when Sylar was becoming a sort of anti hero, and he was hanging out with Kristen Bell and they were kind of cute together, and she taught him how to use his powers without murdering people. Then he randomly was like, eh, I'm bored with being a good guy so instead I'm gonna murder you.
