This week on Heroes, I pray for Hiro to jump off a building.
Start with season 2 and work your way forward, buddy. We'll wait.
Copyhacker is away on vacation at Disneyworld with his family this week, which leaves me back in the Heroes driver's seat. YAY!!
Today's episode is called "Acceptance", which is the final stage of grieving. The first is Denial. As in season 2. Surely this show didn't start to suck. It was the best show on TV last year! Maybe I'm just missing something.
Step 2: Anger: End of season 2. So basically this show does suck now. Have they run out of movies to steal from or what? THIS SUCKS ASS! Cut to me waiting in the Whole Foods parking lot for Tim Kring to show up so I can egg his car.
Step 3: Bargaining: Season 3: Please please please God give me my great show back! I'll lose twenty pounds! I'll stop riding people's asses and cursing in traffic! I'll stop resenting my niece cuz she's cuter than me!! Well, I didn't keep my end of the deal on any of those things, so I take personal responsibility for the suckage that was season 3.
Step 4: Depression: This set in during the season premiere of 4. Two hours to get through Sylar being turned into Nathan! THIS IS GONNA BE AMAZING! ... No. Depressed. Of course, Sylar can't be too happy being stuck inside Matt Parkman so this stage was not just just reserved for the audience.
Step 5: Acceptance. Ok you know what? I'm at like half a page and haven't even started the recap. SO....I just need to get the hell over it and accept the fact that this show will never be as good as it promised it would be and GET OVER IT. I still record it every week. I still have as much fun today cursing Kring as I did during seasons 2 and 3. Grief over. I am publicly letting it go and I'm making a vow to just enjoy this bs for what it is. A chance to study some really, really bad acting. Thank you for your time.
We open with a full tub. And there's no one in it! Tracy starts dripping out and fully forms herself out of water. Wowee! Man she's hot. I wonder if they would still have this half naked scene if the chick from Drop Dead Diva was playing Tracy. She could form herself out of, like, ketchup or something. But why would there be ketchup in a tub? That wouldn't make sense at all! I wonder what Tracy would look like if she was filtered through a Brita before re-forming. We've just begun and already my head is spinning.
There's some cheesy song about a "bad body double" playing as Tracy, reinvigorated and ready to reclaim her life as a government slut cake, brushes her hair and tries to pick just the right dress to impress. Wanna be taken seriously in politics? Shop at Forever 21.
Don't be surprised if you see Valerie Jarrett show up to a conference with world leaders wearing this little number.
Once Tracy's done dressing like a Pussycat Doll and applying her apple lip smacker, she's off to a very important restaurant where all the Washington movers and shakers go. No, not In and Out. They have our money to spend, you think these assholes are gonna get a value meal? All the guys are staring at her. She assumes it's cuz she looks super sexy, but they're probably wondering how many times she needs to get killed off before it sticks.
You're still on this show? Dang, sister, there are thousands of bad actors in Hwood! Give someone else a chance at never being nominated for an Emmy!
She's there to meet up with Governor Skeeze, who she was working for, on, and in before she became an ice queen. He's predictably excited to see her. At least that's what I think the growling and lip licking is about.

The first photo caption was perfect! Sadly - it says it all! Oh "Heroes" - what happened to you?!? The only way they can recover is if Peter goes naked for the rest of the season.

I've actually thought Heroes has been pretty watchable this season. Of course after the last 2 seasons even Grey's Anatomy would seem sensible and well-acted. Maybe that was their plan all along.

Whatever happened to badass Hiro from season one? Stupid cheerleaders spoil everything.
I vote for naked Sylar. And Nathan. Okay, Peter can be naked too. Let's just make sure Parkman keeps his clothes ON.
