Then it's not just me. I loved the first season and felt the second season just dragged. And was unimpressed with the start of this season. we've yet to see tonight's episode. I feel like they don't really know where they are going with the story so they just drag it out with lots of dumb fighty action. Kind of like Lost did in their second and third season.
But first we must watch dumb funny "Chuck." So dumb and so funny it hurts. I didn't like it at first but it grew on me.
Oh, but everything will be different now that he's got a Mommy again. And a much better Mommy than the last one, truly the Mommy he always dreamed he'd have.
I was getting bored with Sylar the Escalating Psycho last season but now I love him again. It's hard not to love an actor that's having so much fun with his role. I cracked up at that scene outside the hostage crisis when he looks around and goes, "Hey! I'm in a cop show now! Oh, boy!" and starts barking orders at the scared looking local fuzz, ending with, "Oh, and bring me some coffee!" *hee*
I don't know if you can exactly call it "character development." It's a little too random for that. This season kind of feels like the actors spent the entire writers' strike hanging around the set with Tim Kring complaining about their characters and whining, "I'm sick of being a stripper; I wanna be a smart political operative." "Yeah, well, I'm tired of doing stupid voice overs and getting beat up. I want to be a Love Machine!" "In that case, I'm not going to be a cheerleader anymore. I want a skin-tight rubber catsuit and a big ol' gun!" "Hey, that's not fair! I want..."
