But somewhere along the way, maybe it was halfway through the second season, already complex plots became inhumanely more complex. Plot holes opened up like the blooming of flowers after a cool spring rain. Characters died and came to life through some loophole in the rules that were set forth earlier. Essentially, we as viewers felt screwed.

It’s made all the more frustrating because the cast is truly stellar for the most part, with only a modicum of soap opera acting which with to be distracted. Though something like that is expected for a show about people that can fly.

This season is easily the show’s worst. More than once, I was minutes away from switching the channel and canceling my season pass, yet I still hold on. I pay attention. I’m no idiot. Yet I still cannot divine the complex plot machinations, double crosses and motivations doing what they do.

So that’s a long winded way of saying: just start over and forget the past. Wipe everyone’s memories. Make people act like human beings, or at least somewhat rational superhero. I don’t know, this all sounds like a terrible way to fix a complex problem and this is more of a complaint than a solution. A meandering treatise on TV that I don’t really care that much about.

Heroes, make me care again.
