There is something terribly wrong with the third season of Heroes. Either that or I am losing my mind. Okay, maybe that part was not very convincing, but really, I get lost at almost every episode. I presume this season is as gripping and as adrenaline inducing (pun intended) as the first two seasons since it already made me forget that I go to work at 9Am and I had to wake up at 7Am, but I forget the episodes easily. And this is weird because I have unusually sharp memory. That was because of the eclipse we had last I-don’t-remember-when and I felt like I was not human anymore, not that I ever thought that I was. I really am a monster, and I eat brains for breakfast. And now I assume you are lost of my random babble. Okay, my real problem is, I don’t remember who Linderman is. Or what power Angela Petrelli has, and how Alejandro (or was his name Alejandro? The brother of Maya) died. I wanted to stop watching but I didn’t want to so I came up with five reasons why I should keep on watching Heroes. Okay, I was lying. I never planned to stop watching Heroes, I just wanted to come up with a list because I love lists. I am that kind of geek. So, ladies and gentlemen, here is a list of the people, or characters, that keep me glued to my TV and will probably keep me glued for the next few years even if I probably would never understand the story anymore because I would soon forget about them. Oh, and spoiler alert-ish. I think most of you who watch Heroes already finished the third season but whatever.

Peter Petrelli

5. Peter Petrelli. Okay, he might be your usual eyecandy and he had a few shirtless episodes that keep women and some gay men watching, but his power is very interesting. He is freaking powerful and he probably is the most powerful of them all since unlike Sylar, he need not kill someone to take their abilities. Very cool. The season also showed his villain-y side or something and there were episodes when the viewers, I presume, were supposed to think that he was the real bad guy. Which suits him, in a way.

Hiro Nakamura

4. Hiro Nakamura. You have a heart of steel, or a sense of humor of a troll if you didn’t laugh when Tracy called her Pikachu. It was hilarious. I like Hiro mainly because he’s a geek. And I have always been a sucker for geeks, so yeah. I guess he was just overstereotyped, if that word really exists. His New York city scene where he shouted ‘I did it’ didn’t hurt either. He is one of the easy-to-fall-in-love-with characters in Heroes, the loser kid who is depreciated by his father which makes him seek his approval but he is so geeky that he just plays his PSP most of the time or read mangas that make his look childish. I am in a lot of ways like him. Except for the father part. Oh, and he is also the master of Space and Time.

Elle

3. Elle. Yes. That blonde girl raised to be an agent who has some 5000 volts inside her body. She is very mysterious and very likeable, despite the fact that she is a villain. She also seems to have a very special connection with Sylar, which was only shown in this season, or not, I don’t remember really. I wonder why I never saw her in any other TV shows or movies. Kirsten Bell. She is very pretty and she seems like she could be on par with Hilary Duff or Mandy Moore, except she looks sneakier, bitchier, and evil-er. Her pair up with Sylar is beyond me, they’re too sexy together you can’t help but wish they’d break up. Or that one of them dies *cough Elle cough*

Sylar

2. Sylar. or Zachary Quinto, that very hot yet very cuddly (really, now) villain of Heroes who likes eating brains and is ironically named Gabriel after an angel. Although I am not really sure if that angel was a good angel because I never really payed attention to my Christian Living classes when I was still in highschool. I used to think that he was creepy. Anthony Hopkins kind of creepy, just his voice makes all the hair in my body alert for danger. But well, he is one of the (if not the) most beautiful actors in the series. Him being there is reason enough to watch the ever so forgetful TV series called Heroes. Oh, and he paired up with Elle, for a while at least. That could not get any better.

 

Claire Bennett

1. Claire Bennett. Played by one of the most promising stars of today, Hayden Panettiere. Okay, so I really have no basis for saying that, it’s just that I have a huge crush on her and I have had that crush ever since her Bring it on: All or Nothing times. I am a sucker with cheerleaders as much as I am for geeks. Which, now that I think about it, is a little weird. I am both attracted to popular and not so popular kids who struggle through highschool mostly. Anyways, the stunning Claire Bennett is invincible and has been one of the most important characters in the series since the first season. Save the cheerleader, save the world. Even Sylar said that she was different. And special. I could so marry Sylar– except he might eat my brain and steal my X-Ray vision ability. Okay, that’s a little creepy. Scratch that. Like Elle and Sylar, she has Daddy issues too. Poor Claire Bennet is always being left behind by his adoptive parent, Noah. Oh Claire. I could babysit you for a day or two. While we’re at it, teach me how to do numerous cartwheels that make other people’s jaws drop.

You probably finished watching the third season of Heroes alreeady. Or have stopped watching Heroes like most people for reasons that are so obvious. I just made this list because  Ilove making lists. I always have, even when I was still a child. I used to tally how many times some product advertisements appear on TV then tell my Yaya back then what the top commercials were, based on the number of times they were shown on TV. I am such a weird bastard.
