    On Heroes, Carnies and Cockteasing Combine into Cheese

    Just when you thought Heroes might have a chance of getting good again, it comes back with an episode so bad that you'll yearn for the days when Hiro time-traveled to feudal Japan. Can't Sylar just die already? More »

    For Thanksgiving, Heroes Embraces Mutant Family Dysfunction

    Monday's episode of Heroes, "Thanksgiving," represented one of those rare moments when everything wrong with this show suddenly became right. It was a soapy tale of three intertwined, dysfunctional mutant family dinners - and it was old-fashioned freaky fun. More »

    On Heroes, There Is Always Time For Half-Naked Female Bonding

    Last night's episode of Heroes explained a lot of important things, like how half-naked superpowered girls bond. Also, how to get back together with your wife after a mutant steals your body! Plus carnie fashion and dirt powers! Spoilers ahead. More »

    Dear Heroes: I Want My Lesbians Back

    On last night's episode of Heroes, "Shadowboxing," all our dreams of lesbianism were lost. To replace them, we got a scene where Parkman became a bratty top. Plus tons of carnie action. Spoilers ahead! More »

    Remember 3 Years Ago, When Heroes Was a Good Show?

    Cast your mind back, to the days on Heroes when Hiro was semi-badass and Sylar was actually scary. Those days were here again, briefly, on last night's time travelly episode. Plus, HRG is closer than ever to getting laid! More »

    Claire Kissed A Girl - And Sylar Slipped Inside Parkman!

    I knew Monday night's episode of Heroes was going to be good from the instant that the "story so far" clips showed Claire's lesbian kiss with hot roomie Gretchen, King Jeremy's dead parents, and Head Sylar going apeshit. Spoilers ahead! More »

    It's All Carnies and Pearl Jam References On Heroes

    If Heroes doesn't deliver lesbians, it delivers a roiling mass of carnies who throw knives and wear petticoats to dig ditches. That's what happened last night anyway, when we met the flannel-wearing, chest-hair-revealing cub version of Sylar. Spoilers ahead! More »

    Dirt Powers and Sorority House Lesbians on "Heroes"

    So last night's Heroes was a veritable smorgasbord of dirt. There were dirt powers, dirty sorority sisters, and dirty, dirty Nylar. Watch out for greasy mindwipe rainbow carnival hair - and spoilers! More »

    Workplace Sex and Butt Xeroxing Are No-Nos On "Heroes"

    Last night's episode of Heroes, called "Acceptance," served up a veritable smorgasbord of after-school special life lessons. Chief among them: Don't hump your boss; don't xerox your butt at work; and brainwashing never works. Spoilers ahead! More »

    Rainbow Brite and Lesbian Penetration on "Heroes"

    On last night's Heroes, called "Ink," everybody got violent and stabby for one of three reasons: 1. Lesbianism; 2. Daddy Issues; 3. Tattoos. Also, there were rainbow musical interludes. Spoilers ahead! More »

    "Redemption," AKA Heroes' Season of the Lesbian Carnivalesque

    Last night's Heroes was a two-hour extravaganza introducing us to the season's new theme, "Redemption," as well as its sub-theme, which is Claire's sexual orientation. Plus a bunch of mutants from the carnival showed off their special tattoo powers. More »

    What The Hell Is Sylar's Deal, Anyway?

    Heroes' season finale slunk over the airwaves last night, bringing with it mindless platitudes from Suresh, the defeat of one enemy, and Sylar-related plotholes so gigantic they could fight Godzilla and win. Spoilers ahead! More »

    Claire Has Alcoholism Power, and Peter Talks to Jesus

    Heroes was perking up last week, but this week there was a slow slide into the melodrama blahs - punctuated by completely random religious moments. Spoilers ahead. More »

    Sylar Wants His Mommy on Heroes

    Last week I polled you guys about whether I should keep punishing myself and the world by continuing to watch Heroes. And you voted for punishment. Which is exactly what the episode "Exposed" was. More »

    Nothing Happens, And It Feels So Old-School, On Heroes

    If there's one thing that Heroes is good at, it's apparently not family drama if last night's episode is anything to go by. Daddy issues for cheerleaders and psychopaths abound, and spoilers await. More »

    Sylar Is a Shock Jock, and Worf is President

    Last night's Heroes ended the "Villians" chapter and inaugurated "Fugitives." Unfortunately it was a recappy mess, though hints of what's coming give us hope that the show is headed for an upswing. More »

    Shave Your Wrists with Heroes

    Last night was the first new Heroes episode in three weeks, and a lot has happened since we last watched Hiro eat a pile of hallucinogenic hyena dung in Africa. Last week brought the big announcement that NBC was firing two major contributors to the show: co-producers Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander. Though the firings are too recent to affect this episode, called "Villains," it was clearly a turning point for the season and was one of my favorite episodes this fall. Unfortunately, "Villains" was also a flashback episode whose revelations are only going to be interesting to die-hard fans. Not a good way to rescue a floundering show. Spoilers ahead! More »
