"Heroes" Season Three Review

Heroes is a show I came to begin watching mid-last year. I didn't exactly fall in love with it or anything, it's just a show I like. Season One was very good, I enjoyed most storylines and there were some stand-out episodes, such as "Homecoming" and "How to Stop an Exploding Man". My favourite character was Claire, and even Nikki. I couldn't stand Mohinder, actually I still can't stand Mohinder, he is so useless and boring, they even tried to make him interesting in Season 3, but it didn't work, it just made him look desperate.
.
Sylar is a great villain, but I'm getting a bit bored of him now, I mean there are only a number of times you can defeat a villain once, but Sylar is like a bad boomerang, and I'm ready to throw that far, far away and hope it never comes back. Season 3 was a great season, possibly my favourite Heroes season so far. It was split into two volumes, "Villains" and "Fugitives".
.
I enjoyed the Villains volume more than Fugitives, but they were both entertaining nonetheless. I was glad to see Elle come back after a few episodes absense, and I loved the "Dying of the Light" episode, with the man who can control people as if they were puppets. The best part of the Volume was probably when Elle became closer to Sylar, only to get killed by him, bless her, I liked her. The finale of the volume was intense and very dramatic and action-packed.
.
I did enjoy Fugitives, I loved the plot how Nathan was capturing people with powers, including some of the Heroes, and taking them to a place against their will. The season was nicely set-up, and another favourite character of mine died, Daphne, it was a beautifully written and acted episode for sure, one of my all-time favourite Heroes episodes.

"Lost" Season Three Review

So I am still watching Lost all the way through, and I finished Season 3 a few days ago actually, right now I am onto Season 5, so before I get to reviewing that, I need to review Season 3. Now before I watched the series, I already knew what would be the fate of Charlie Pace, and Mr. Eko, so I wasn't at all surprised, I was actually quite happy that Charlie was going to die, but when it actually happened, I felt so sorry for him, I wanted to take it back.
.
One of the best things this season was the introduction of Juliet, an Other whose story gets revealed as the season goes on. I really like Juliet, and I loved when she asked Jack to kill Ben by using the video as a sneaky method of communication and so I am glad that she has been made a regular. Ben, hmm, at first I didn't like him, I wanted rid of him a long time ago, but that wasn't meant to be, and I was quite glad. He makes a great villain, he is very manipulative in getting everyone around him to do what he wants done, so that kind of cunning and evil makes quite the antagonist.
.
I loved a lot of the stories about the Others, however I thought the season was a little stretched and it kind of got dull a bit. I did love when Jack and Juliet returned to the camp, yet no one trusted Juliet at all. And I also loved the whole Desmond seeing into the future thing, that was great, and when he told Charlie that no matter what he did, Charlie was going to die. It really set up the season nicely.
.
One of the other best things was seeing Shannon come back for an episode, in the Nikki and Paulo centric episode half-way through the season. I was glad they included her. And also how Nikki and Paulo died was very wierd but intriguing and I wonder if the survivors will ever find out how they really died.
.
The finale was once again, amazing. The Looking Glass station was quite an eerie setting, and the series of events that happens there are very captivating, and I love Penny, so I was glad to see her on the computer screen. But then poor Charlie drowned, which was very sad since he did it to save Desmond from the same fate. Overall, the season wasn't the best, nor was it the worst, and I am definetly looking forward to finishing the series and finding out all the answers I want to know.

"Brothers & Sisters" Season Three Review


Well Brothers & Sisters isn't my favourite show, or in the top 5 I don't think. Mainly because Season 1 and 2 weren't as good as other shows. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the show, but it never had the oomph that would make it so special in my eyes. However, after catching up with Season 3, it has proved me wrong.
.
The pilot episode was quite dull, and it didn't draw me in, unlike other shows. But the season got better and better, and the seasons even got better. Season 2 was great, I loved it, I loved the twists and storylines of the season. Too bad that Writers Strike shortened it down.
.
Like Grey's Anatomy and One Tree Hill, I had to catch up with the latest season through the internet because I hadn't watched Season 3 from its premiere. But it gradually got so interesting and entertaining that I began to love the series even more. Season 3 was one of the best of the 2008-2009 seasons out of all my favourite shows, even most episodes were better than "Desperate Housewives", which is my favourite show, so it just shows that it can be just as amazing as the top shows in my eyes.
.
The middle and end of the season was what made the season the best. I loved the family arguments in public places as well as privately, their family bond makes the series watchable and entertaining. I was sad to see Julia go, but Tommy left her no choice I suppose, I think I'll miss Julia more than Tommy. Sarah is my favourite, she was really funny this season, and seeing her land on her feet after all she's been through is really admireable.
.
I recommend giving Brothers & Sisters a chance. I know a few people who turned the series off after the pilot episode, but honestly, the show has gotten so much better since then, and I'm sure I speak for most B&S fans that Season 3 was amazing, and worth buying on DVD.
