Well, Strange Attractors surely was a lopsided episode. Sure, the ending was pretty entertaining, but the journey was… well, pretty plain. We certainly did not get the Heroes-style Halloween episode that NBC was promoting. We got a continuation of the character studies with just enough of Mr. Sullivan to entertain.
Head for the hills, everyone! The infuriating, obviously foreign voiceover is back! Mohinder must have been relieved that this time the voice was overriding Samuel Sullivan. This was a gut wrenching omen to me, but I was pleasantly surprised when ‘Tabula Rasa’ managed to not drop into my instantly lowered expectations.
‘Heroes’ makes great use of the old standby, ‘when in doubt, throw in some more lesbian scenes’. ‘Hysterical Blindness’ is proof that the more a series appeals to a large crowd, the more on track it is. Season 4 is much more on the mark than last season, and it has given us the best episode of the season so far! Everything from the perfect pacing and wonderful character development to the storytelling was incredible last Monday.
“Sometimes you have to remember who you were to figure out what you want to be.” These insightful words aided a couple of characters alter their concept of themselves, and recognize who it is they want to become. These exact same words are precisely the type of twaddle that have famously become so annoying in many episodes of Heroes. “Acceptance”, all in all, was yet another underwhelming episode that muddled us through an entire hour of crap before arriving to where we discovered what characters would end up doing what.
“Ink” was a great deal more like a fresh beginning. I thought that it was definitely a much more engaging episode (without depending too much on the previous clichés) than last week’s two episode disaster. It really seemed passably different enough from the previous season to seem new. That is, ALMOST. A major part of the difference was the focus on only a few storylines. I find that this is usually a big plus, and felt that “Ink” really made the most of it.
I was excited about the Heroes season premiere, because I wasn’t entirely sure what to anticipate. This past summer had been so full of talk; Talk about additional characters, homosexuality, carnivals, and even Bryan Fuller leaving just as fast as he returned. I didn’t have a clue how any of it would piece together, and was disappointed to find myself faced with more of the same old stuff.
