It’s official: I hate ‘Heroes’
Gail Pennington
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I hung in, hopeful, after a lot of my friends and fellow fans quit “Heroes” altogether. I squinted through the darkness of the eclipse last week, trying to believe that Tim Kring and his writers had a plan. But last night’s end-of-the-eclipse episode was just ridiculous, in so many ways. Did anybody really think Claire would stay dead? (I’ll admit: I did, briefly, have hope.) Or Sylar? I suppose we can presume Elle is actually deceased,  although why did Sylar open her head, when he already had her powers? The long, long interlude in the dark jungle of Haiti was ultimately pointless, although for some reason I was amused at Nathan’s fourth-grade French. (”Je m’appelle Nathan.”) All in all, though, I could barely pay enough attention to even make it to the end. How could this have happened? How could I hate “Heroes”? And yet: I do.
