American shows do have a habit of bookending amazing shows with complete crap. I think Intro Guy has retired from the series now to be replaced by Dr Suresh’ disembodied voice, which is still pretty annoying.

It’s a great show but it would be better without the recap, the narration and the wanky HEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOO theme which plays pretentiously over absolutely everything.

I’m still completely in love with it, though.

Oh God, I love that obsidian pupil / lidless unblinking eye thing. It reminds me slightly of this image by The Eyechild: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2527/1581/1600/Space-Bird.jpg

If you think that one is bad, avoid next weeks. They show a clip of a scene which turns out to be the cliff-hanger scene right at the end of the show, or so.

I must say, I always assumed they were aiming at achieving the same thing as the editorial blurb you often get at the start of comics. I mean, it is basically meant to be a comic book in live action form (the moment I realised the subtitles were happening inside invisible speech bubbles blew my mind).

If so, they’ve nailed it completely.

Unfortunately, those bits suck, and unlike with comics, I can’t just not read them.

It didn’t help that the worst voice-over yet was followed by the worst episode in Heroes’ short history. The week-long wait always leads to me forgetting to zap past the hideous voice-over too, damnit.
