katikatI finally caught up on this series. It's way better than Lost but it'll never replace Supernatural in my heart.
In this show, there were some characters that I adored, some that left me cold and some that I openly disliked.
The ones that I really disliked were the cop Matt Parkman and the painter Isaac Mendez. They just didn't click right from the beginning. Especially Matt. All he did was one big mess and that was it.
The characters I really adored were Mohinder Suresh, the Petrelli brothers (of course :P) and Claire. But my top charas were of course Nathan and Peter, their bond that survived anything, even Nathan's selfishness at the beginning of the series. What rather confuses me though is that nobody thinks them being too emotional whereas the Winchester brothers in SPN are - according to some people - way too emo... At least Sam and Dean don't declare their love in front of everyone and their sister.
All the other characters were... meh! I didn't care if they lived or died, so meh :P
Now to the very last ep. I don't know, I expected something more... spectacular, you know, a great battle between Peter and Sylar. The whole thing felt way too... anti-climatic. And why couldn't Peter actually fly away himself since he absorbed his brothers powers? Why could only Claire kill Peter when nobody was afraid at all of Peter being radioactive? Why could Sylar stop bullets and not Hiro and his katana? And the last scene with Hiro being "in a pinch" as they called it - maybe it should have felt like a cliffhanger but it... kinda... didn't. At least not to me.
I'm still curious if any gay characters will pop up or not though. The producer promised us gays, surprising characters turning gay but... nothing. Did he chicken out? Probably. The closest to gay we got was Sylar and Mohinder (because dude, at least from my POV, Sylar was like so into Mohinder), and Hiro and Ando. Fan service? Possibly, but who knows.
I think that my problem with the finale was, that it was overshadowed by the Supernatural finale. Because, dude, Kripke pulled a great one there. So, the Heroes finale felt... lame compared to that. I expected something really cataclysmal, ground-breaking... something, that would change the dynamics of the series, open new ways for the show to follow. But...
Oh, don't get me wrong, the finale was good, it just didn't make my heart beat faster. It was similar to the whole series. Very good, even DVD-worth but... I think it's because I have troubles with shows with too many characters that you can't really get to know before someone offs them. So, yeah.
And the next season? I will be definitely watching. But if the show was canceled, I wouldn't have shed a tear for it.
