The death of Nathan on Heroes was a wasted opportunity for character development for the Petrelli’s, Claire and HRG . It would have been interesting to see how his death would have changed things. Instead we get this Nathan in Sylar body storyline. Nobody ever changes on the show they always end up where they started character wise. We have plenty of plot development and very little character. If you pay attention to the show you will notice that all of the characters are stagnant, they haven’t evolved or changed since season one. One more thing about Heroes before we put it away for the summer. Why can’t they ever show anybody really cut lose with their powers. If your going to have a big fight then show it. You can’t lock Sylar, Peter and Nathan in a room, show some flashing lights under the door and call it a fight or expect anybody to be satisfied. You can save the budget restraint comments because they should have come up with a another way to tell the story if you know it won’t make it to the screen.
The writers on Smallville have to be reading because they have changed Chloe into one of those women. The book gives insight into women who send love letters and/or marriage proposal to serial killers like David Berkowitz, Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy. One of the main points of the book is that these women are attracted to these guys because they have a sense of control over them because they are in jail (or in this case locked in the basement in the Talon), they tend to have painful childhoods (abandoned by you mother), and are willing to give up their entire life for them (leave my friends to go on the run). They have tried to make Davis/Doomsday sympathetic character so that we can relate to Chloe’s choices but its not working it just makes her look stupid and makes him irritating. I really need Clark to kick his ass.
