"Heroes" should really be a comedy. When Future Peter was about to shoot his brother (after shooting him earlier but having him miraculously recover), I was really hoping it would be an on-running joke. Peter shoots Natan, Nathan recovers, Nathan finds TV cameras, Peter shoots Nathan again. Repeat this a few times and then end the episode with someone pulling the time-traveling future Peter aside and saying, "Hey, why don't you just leap back to BEFORE the press conference and talk him out of it instead of shooting him?"

Peter: "I didn't... (glare)... think of that." And then he disappears.

Once again, "Heroes" has a great concept and some very interesting ideas but it is drowning in cheesy dialogue, clunky monologues, and a complete lack of logic. I really struggled getting through the hour (and stated using the fast-forward button in the 2nd episode) and when it was all over, I immediately took it off of the DVR To Do List. Part of me still was holding out hope that the show could really reach its potential but I know better. Heroes is what Heroes has always been: A daytime soap with super powers.

On the bright side, Gossip Girl picked up and got back to the basics that made it so much fun to start with: Serena vs. Blair vs. Chuck. The show is utterly ridiculous but I guess the key difference between it and Heroes is that I don't really expect more out of the trashy teen soap whereas Heroes could be so much better than it is.
