spies

today's earlier post was depressing. and not funny (except to those sadistic numb nuts reveling in my unhappiness). the next 5 to 6 days shall be spent doing what i do best. dig a trench, mope around the house, not brush my teeth and not take baths. oh don't act like you never gone a stretch of days without showering. that's just lying. all you dirty bastards have skipped a day or two. hmph...trying to make me feel gross won't work guys.

heroes season 3 is out and IT SUCKS TITS (thought i'd try a different set, but doesn't really have the same flow. what do you think?). i watched the first 2 episodes and guys, let me tell you, it was just plain frustrating that the writers don't think anything through anymore. it was complete and utter shit. it was almost like that campfire game you play at brownie camp (i know this because i was a brownie, no not the chocolate kind. the real full out mini-guides thing with elves and pixies and stupid promises to god you had to fucking MEMORISE). yes that game where everyone throws in lame plots and string it together to form a "story". it was in bits and pieces. for those of you who don't watch the show and would like to know nothing about it skip this post. for those of you watching the show and would not like to hear what a load of crap it is, you can skip it too.

so i watched the first 2 episodes and realised it lacked the goosepimpling effect that the first season had. you just snort and roll your eyes everytime the writers try to shock you new information. first of all peter is trying to save the world AGAIN. apparently the last 2 seasons of running around and trying to save the world just wasn't quite enough for the "plots to destroy the world and then try to save save the world" department of over-paid writers at NBC heroes. ah but this time, the fuckers have come up with a twist see. it isn't just peter, the nurse with abs, whose trying to save the world anymore. its FUTURE peter, the nurse turned all-powerful superhero with a scar and RIPPLING abs.

right so he runs around, tries to kill his brother to stop him from telling the whole world about a bunch of freaks from the circus who have been set out lose into the world. surprise, nathan, doesn't die. but when nathan wakes up...get this guys...this is the thing that really pisses me off...nathan wakes up thinking that he is jesus, or at least an angel...sent to do god's work. come guys, it isn't appropriate to laugh at people who think they are jesus. for all we know that's where the show is intended to go, religious homogeneity through a tv series watched by millions.

so we have f.peter and jc.nathan both taking on hefty jobs in ruling the world. there's nothing much to discuss about hiro toyota wasabi-kun. niki sanders is doing her split personality thing again. she's still boinking inappropriate men who are highly paid. she's some adviser to some governor. ah then we have sylar. sylar is now invincible because...um he sort of got that invincibility thing from claire. claire is like..um..still not dead.

MOHINDER. aaaaah, they spoiled him for me. actually i really liked his character, no, not because he was indian, but because he was smart and well... NORMAL. i liked that his superpower was actually his brain. he was the stereotype in the show, and i liked that. i season 3 he is totally out of character. everything about him is different. at the start of season three, he was all "fuck you all, im going back to india to get married to a nice indian girl and eat curry lentils with popadams". the last part was my own imagination, but you get my drift. did mohinder used to give up so easily? i don't think so. 3 seconds later maya(the spanish hot chick whose power turns her eyes black) has convinced him to stay by giving him an epiphany. the powers are not stored in the brain or blood like we were led to believe the whole show, its in their adrenal glands (fight or flight response controllers). so mohinder sucks some adrenal fluid out of maya's thing (its nothing sexual you dirty bastards, i really don't know). then he thinks that fluid can be given to anyone, like instant superpowers in a vile(if only). he thinks it will revolutionise the world. maya's all like "nooo mohinder noooo, theees eees veeeeryyy bad. theeeeeeese powers are cursed." mohinder's all like in deep thought and broody. he goes for a walk...with the vile for some strange reason. he stands by a shipping port(or something) and makes an attempt to toss the vile out into the sea (NO mohinder! come on?! you want fish to mutate superpowers too?! seriously, as a logical scientist, you should think before you dispose of stuff like that into the sea. ah well, you ARE from india)

right so where was i, he makes a feeble attempt to toss it into the god forsaken sea. he fails. here's what he does, he injects the fucking demon fluid into HIMSELF. as expected, he passes out. then mohinder wakes up to find himself being mugged closely followed by going all teakwando on the thieves. yup his super powers are like reflexes and shit. he's strong too although they're not particularly linked (reflexes=strenght??? methinks the writers didn't really think this through. they were just delivering what all the insane doe-eyed fangirls wanted). he's super happy about it and goes back home to do tests and experiments on himself. you know what, i actually think the writers gave him superpowers so that he would have a reason to take his shirt of and show off his abs and biceps. well he did show them off last season its just that its more hairless and ripped now (apparently superpowers removes chest hair and gives a waxed gleam to your newly acquired pecs). maya arrives next morning, she's shocked at his transformation from an indian professor to a martial artist...with glistening abs ofcourse. she boinks him, henceforth, promoting mohinder to be the leading man having been the only guy to shag the same girl as sylar. ofcourse, it could just be that maya's this season's mattress.

right, so matt parker(the fat one) is dropped of somewhere in africa. angela petrelli's power is revealed to be having dreams about the future (that being peter's first sign of having an ability). am i missing something? oh yeah...linderman(the crazy guy vying for utopia) is back, but this bit gets a tad confusing. linderman is actually like only visible to nathan(aka jesus). if we remember correctly, linderman's powers are bringing dead crap to life. nathan just came back from the dead right. that makes linderman god. yeah...i know...the writers didn't really get any epiphanies this year. coming back from the dead really doesn't quite astound me as much anymore. for one, we've seen that trick pulled out of the hat many times by peter, claire and sylar. nathan is just one more to the list. the show's dead, old and rehashed (like my grandmother's toe-socks) all in all. however, we all know it still isn't going to stop me from watching it...or any of the dozen million viewers. we all know deep deep in our hearts that the show is going to be cancelled before they wrap it up, but we still hope to see sylar with his unibrow finally accomplish his quest of power collecting (collect all 50 powers now and get a go at world domination free! golly, sounds like something out of cardcaptor sakura... oh don't pretend you don't know what im on about.)

that's it. i got around to paragraphing. its at random places so it may not flow. but, hey, at least its PARAGRAPHED.
