As many of you know, I'm pretty hooked on "Heroes." (This means that if you're an avid watcher and not current on the show, I wouldn't read this post.) Where to begin? The awesome intertwining storylines? The interesting characters? The never-ending mystery of who, what, where, when, and most importantly,
why and
how?? The undeniable good-looking men? The intensity of... well, everything? I love it.
So when I came across a few links containing some serious spoilers, my natural instinct was "HELL YES" because, if you keep up, this season is going very slow at giving us information. Here's a tiny bit of info... and then three more storylines pop up with barely anything to go on. As every episode ends, I find myself saying, "I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK!" and not out of giddy excitement, but out of "do I
really have to wait, because I really think I could explode if I have to."
So I ran across this link full of big and epic spoilers and the subsequent excited and impressed reaction from the lukewarm posters, commenters, and lurkers. YES. I
won't have to wait, motherfuckers. You try, you try to keep it a secret, but you know I'm impatient, and if I have the option, I won't.
As I moved my mouse hungrily towards the spoiler link, I hesitated. One of the highlights of my week is to sit down with my roommate Alex and watch "Heroes" at eight o'clock on Monday nights... to shriek, gasp, point, yell, "WTF IS GOING ON??" at least four times per episode, to conspire and discuss during the commercials, the general shock and surprise during (nearly) every episode... to yell "PETER, OPEN THE BOX!" and genuinely not know if he will, to say "YOU STAY AWAY, CLAIRE, YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM, YOU'RE KILLING YOUR FATHER, I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY!" and really not know what's going to happen.
But...... the link remains.
Rule #1 of getting information on the Internet is knowing that nothing is 100% true. (Except this blog, of course.) So I could read it and take it with a grain of salt, knowing full well that it could turn out completely differently. I could read it and completely ruin the surprise and shock of the moment. Or I could just chill the fuck out and be surprised. I haven't yet decided.
The link remains.
The link remains.
ETA, aka "My Further Thoughts on the Show:" Hiro needs to come back to present time. I'm seriously done with Fun in Feudal Japan. It's making me care way less about Ando, who I usually love. Also, I really REALLY need to know what happened to Nathan Petrelli during the last four months. And Niki needs to do something interesting, because hiding in the background of these episodes is getting old. Oh, and those twins bug me. Sylar doesn't need them. He needs to get rid of the two of them, Peter Petrelli's new girlfriend, Kristen Bell's dumb character, and that punk kid Claire's messing around with.
Just sayin'.
