Cut It Out: Heroes

In an effort to encourage me to blog more often, I am introducing a new recurring segment that allows me to do what I'm best at: complaining. That being said, I introduce you to Cut It Out, where I pay homage to something that once held my heart but somehow lost it along the way (such as Awkward Family Photos). For the first ever Cut It Out, I give you Heroes.

Heroes was once a very good show, but I can't seem to recall why. Mathematically it adds up to the kind of show I would normally like to watch (people with superpowers + watching them use said powers = good times), but something seems to be missing from the past few seasons, perhaps the complete absence of an interesting or unique plot.

I watched every episode last season thinking that maybe it was just a bad year and everything would be better. This year, I figured that it would be cancelled soon and I might as well watch it for lack of anything else to watch in the meantime. However, with the return of Lost, I don't need to waste time on lesser shows.

So I have decided to cut Heroes out of my life, much like depicted in the photo above (hope you enjoy my amateur editing skills). I would have put Hayden Panettiere in the photo, but then her little indestructible cheerleader head would have just grown back, and then where would we be?

Heroes lost it when it became about Sylar. They'll redeem him and the show will be over. It has less than 10% of its original viewership.

You are right! Instead of everyone trying to suppress their powers let's see some jumping off tall buildings and flying and healing from horrible wounds and making other people do wild and crazy things. You know--wierd powers--the good stuff. I hope never to see my head in your little guillotine. Please, Let Me Be Your Hero. Check out Terry Nolan's version on iTunes. SWEET!
