My love/hate relationship with "Heroes" continues. Just when it was starting to get consistently good, they are going on one of their trademark mid-season 2-month hiatuses. Ridiculous. Really pissing me off. I'm pretty sure the original Star Wars Trilogy was wrapped up in less time than this first (and only?) season of "Heroes" is taking. Why? As it turns out, the reason for this second momentum-killing lapse would be revealed just before the end credits...
"We know you have your theories...(insert clip of various fans explaining their theories of how the show will tie up)....Now tell them to us at NBC.com!"
...Because we have no fucking clue where we are going with this show anymore! We already pulled off the implausible Claire-is-Petrelli's-daughter plot and, frankly, we're burnt out! We haven't the first damn clue how we are going to wrap this fucker up anymore! Help! Please! Chances are if you really like this show, you have some idea of how this thing is going to end...which is perfect because we don't! If you will simply write in and give us your idea, we can promptly steal it and pass it off as our own and get the damn network off our backs! Will you receive any credit or compensation? Of course not! But think of the satisfaction you will receive from knowing you "guessed" the outcome of TV's hottest series! Log on today! We're dying here!
I mean, come on. I am not a cynical person by nature, but this reeks of pathetic desperation. I have a ballpark idea of what the writers of this show must make and they are not earning it, folks. Oy. "They've saved the cheerleader. How will they save the world?" I guess we'll find out in two months!
Meanwhile, "24" is really cookin' now! Woooooo!

Actually, NBC gave it an early renewal a few months back.
Great...hope I am still alive when season 2 rolls around.
You ARE a naturally cynical person, you grump.
