That would be one hell of a Plan B power for Kristen's character Elle, wouldn't it? Gargantua, anyone, from SuperFriends?

Seriously?

I regularly get her confused with Allison Mack. Both are okay looking girls, but it's only when they get slapped up with make-up and airbrushing do they look 'good'. And the only reason I can see why people find either of them really attractive is that they're famous. Kinda like how people find Kelly Osbourne attractive. I just don't see what's so exciting about Bell. Eh...just me, I guess.

Comparing episode 404 to the recently screened 402 and it's like they're two different shows. 402 is climactic, ballsy, and emotional. 404 could have been interesting and psychological, but falls flat. Is it the writing? Is it the production? How can a show that's been going for years still get it wrong?

Now why am I writing about Stargate in a Heroes talkback - because people keep going on about how lame Heroes has become. Same happened throughout Battlestar Galactica. And Lost. And South Park. And justifiably so in some cases. I remember X-Files went downhill in later seasons. Even Babylon 5's fifth season paled in comparison to season three (still the best single season of any TV show ever IMHO). And Star Trek had whole shows that just kept going where everyone had gone before.

But is Heroes one of these? A show that quite clearly is a non-existent comic book series pseudo-adapted to be a TV series and has just barely begun it's second season. I thought the first season to be the most consistent first season of any show I've seen. I've enjoyed its one and a bit seasons infinitely more than 6+ seasons of Smallville.

Heroes has such great potential, and if the writing is as compelling as the recent episodes of House, then it doesn't deserve the label of Lame. But I guess that's up to the individual. I don't see its cancellation anywhere in sight just yet (let alone a shark to jump). Remember, even Stargate can keep going and going with hit and miss episodes (and seasons).
