There are very few characters that are compelling in the show anymore. Peter Pitrelli, Hiro Nakamura, and (arguably) HRG are the only ones left that are very interesting. I would put Samuel as a somewhat interesting character (because he's Magneto without the same ability… too bad he's going to die!).

The cheerleader and her puppy dog are so boring it's difficult to even type about them. “I don't know what I want…” blah blah. Grow up, you're in college now, you're an adult. Stop repeating the same crap you've been saying since day 1. Tracy is nearly the exact same character (I'm surprised she doesn't write her name with the obnoxious “i”, that's how annoying she is).

I'm not entirely certain I want to address the Matt Parkman issue… I so loathe that character that I'm sure much of what I would say is without reason.

Sylar… oh Sylar… can we just kill him already? He's not that great of a villain. The only thing he has going for him is the fact that he's played by Zach Quinto (<3 Spock!) and he's really powerful. Other than that, the character isn't compelling in the least.

I would LOVE to see more peter and Hiro in this show. In fact, and entire show could be devoted to them. Their struggles with themselves is what makes them interesting. When they keep interposing something as pointless and mundane as a sorority pledge… you completely ruin the weight of actions of Hiro and Peter. Guys who are sacrificing their own lives to save those of others without hope of reward is a much more compelling story than “Oh no! My room mate likes me! tee hee”

More to come later.
