Heroes

I am done with NBC's Heroes. Characters gain powers. Characters lose powers. Nobody is happy. Everyone has an agenda. The Apocalypse looms perpetually like a black hole that won't suck light fast enough. There is no endgame in sight. This show is like a never-ending soap opera where the writers use every tired trick they know to string the viewer along while adding nothing new or original to the product. Alas, Heroes is getting as bad as Star Trek: The Next Generation was and always will be. I remember trying to watch and appreciate that show back in the 1990s, but I always lost interest. I kept asking myself, "What?"
