Chuck and some help for the Heroes plot...please!

Monday night typically involves me watching Chuck while looking for geek items. In Chuck’s room have you noticed the “Y the last man standing poster”? Or the San Diego Comic Con poster? I haven’t seen any statues yet. If you have, please let me know.

Then we watch Heroes and especially Hiro. He always seems to say something that I can relate to in his quest to be a hero. This season I’m a little disappointed with the plot. Why are they making all the heroes into villains and the villains into heroes? If you try that one time, I get it. It’s interesting, it adds depth to your character and it’s unexpected. If you make every hero a villain, what’s the point? Doesn’t it get old?

A tortured hero or a hero with flaws is a classic move to help the audience relate. Heroes turning into villains is fine sometimes but this season has too much of it. Everyone has a secret alliance, a secondary motive, a possible switch to the dark side and the plot is becoming confusing. Clean it up some. I’m not suggesting that you make it black and white just that you clean it up a little.
