"This is a great time for you, Nathan. The world's your oyster."

[adeline]

First an announcement: this is probably the last episode poll I'll be running. While it has truly been an honor and a priviledge to entertain all of you who have come here and voted week in and week out, the show itself has finally shocked me enough that I no longer wish to be as intellectually and/or emotionally involved as I used to be.

I regret not a moment spent on these, and I thank each and every one of you for making this all so fun for me. It's been a very enriching experience, quizzing my fellow fanfolks. I don't advertize this, but I've lost track of how many hours of sleep I've lost because I would rather wait for the first responses (and time differences are a bitch). I'm not taking my toys and going home. I'll be around lurking in fandom, probably still discussing episodes and reading fic once in while.

But, you know, we're talking Heroes here. I'm sure the weekly polls will return in some form or other, elsewhere, for Season 4. And I know I'll be there voicing my ~thoughts~. ;)

So, for the last time from me, happy voting you guys! ♥

[Poll #1393342]

Over and out. Thanks again, y'alls.

P.S.

ZOMBIE NATHAN FTW! ;_;

Oh Heroes,I wish I knew how to quit you *sigh*

You know,on the one hand I really wish I had the strenght to say goodbye and never watch it again but on the other hand,it's definitely too late for that. I still see myself watching it in the 10th season,with Peter,Matt,Hiro,Claire,Angela etc. long dead *lol*

[caffeinified.livejournal.com]

Once I pick the pieces of my heart up and scotch tape it back together, I will have to write zombie Nathan fic. Cause FTW!

[moosewizard.livejournal.com]

I'm done with "Heroes" (for now), but I will still try to stay in loose touch with the fandom. Crack!fic, meta, sure. I'm game. But otherwise? Eeehh. I'm gonna pretend this never happened.

I might tune in for Pasdar though. And Grunny. And Coleman. And Cristine. And Milo. And Zachary. (Dammit. I with I didn't love this cast so much but they're so much fun ;_;)

I realized this morning that v4 made me honest-to-god miss v3 and the haydays of ... uh ... I'm not exactly sure WHAT, but it was better than anything in v4. Just like I hated v2 but miss it terribly.

That takes talent! And I'm pretty sure it'll be a pattern with v5, too.

[cookie-simone.livejournal.com]

Alicia, you must be suffering from amnesia! Remember Sylelle? And the ~*~Hunger~*~? And Sylar trying to redeem himself? And Arthur? And Mohinder the Cockman? And the CONSTANT RETCONNING?! Nothing could possibly be worse than Volume 3 (LOLOL, I hope Tim Kring won't see this and take it as a ~challenge~).

[aratama.livejournal.com]

But at least Mohinder was kinda-sorta ~doing stuff~ outside of playing an MD, and there was MINT! And even the retconned horrors of Syelle can't beat the creepy and forced ~*~LOL SYLAIRE ARE LIEK THE BIGGEST RIVALS ON THIS SHOW EVAR, HAYDEN AND ZACH IS WHAT YOU GUYS WANNA SEE RITE? RITE???~*~ which is seriously a slap to the face. And speaking of slaps to the face, at least Mohinder didn't have his big resolution in a fucking graphic novel.

No, I'm pretty sure v4 is worse. But YMMV. And I know already that v5 will be a Sylaire angstfest, so I know it'll be even worse.

[cookie-simone.livejournal.com]

I... I kind of block the Sylaire out of my memory when thinking about V4. It makes it more tolerable.

And I know already that v5 will be a Sylaire angstfest, so I know it'll be even worse.

BUT HE THINKS HE'S HER FATHER NOW!!!1 *CRIES BITTER TEARS OF HORROR* WHYYYYYYY?

[aratama.livejournal.com]

Why, you ask? Some time ago Greg was asked in an interview what he does when people ask him how he feels about the show sucking ass. He replied that he doesn't know, because people never tell him it does.

Now it's all lovely and good that fans aren't bombarding Grunny with comments about how his show sucks, since he's only acting on it and has no say in it sucking, but the reply made me worry that the entire show, cast and crew and all, are never ever ever actually told by anyone that their show fucking sucks and is offensive. They're all living in a bubble. Which would explain the cocky attitude of the BtE answers, say. They're actually eating their own shit hype, and don't realize that the critical questions they get are actually relevant or wide-spread. Because seriously ... how else can you explain their whole ... attitude? MAKES NO SENSE AHHHHHHHHH

/tl;dr

[cookie-simone.livejournal.com]

I know. That really worries me too. Especially when you get these Sylaire fangirls on BtE, telling them how much they love Sylaire and asking if there will be more of it in S4. They probably think that the majority of the fans are like that. You have no idea how much I want to give them a piece of my mind at Comic Con, but I'd probably just seem insane if I did (and I don't think I'd have the time to phrase it ~diplomatically~). Ugh. I hate those smug assholes. They always come as seeming so fucking pleased with themselves. I just want to burst their fucking bubble.

[aratama.livejournal.com]

I just want to burst their fucking bubble.

Yeah. Violently. Yesterday I was getting worked up about Heroes again, and composed a snarky question for BtE in my head, but honestly, I don't think they want to get it or -- at present time -- are even capable of getting that their show. fucking. sucks. I mean, if that EW article didn't do the trick? Since no magazine has said anything about Heroes since, they might even be interpreting that to mean it's good again ... when reality is that no one cares enough to write any critical articles about it because it's obvious to anyone with a brain that the show is an embarrassment you shouldn't waste any of your time on. I'm hoping for a wake-up call for them when it gets canceled. Not sure if I want to put my money on it, though. They have zero humility.

[cookie-simone.livejournal.com]

Oh, they'd probably just see themselves as tragic victims of these times. What with the strike, and TiVo, and the internet. It couldn't possibly their fault.

[aratama.livejournal.com]

Stop depressing me with your highly accurate predictions. =_=

Oh well, at least Sendhil thinks it's shit.

[cookie-simone.livejournal.com]

LOL, sorry. You got me in rant-mode. I should just go to sleep and have strange, vivid nightmares about giant, yellow, spider-ish looking aliens walking around my room, while a scary toy chicken tries to grab me in bed (I have the weirdest dreams).

[aratama.livejournal.com]

Nah, I was in rant-mood, too.

At least your dreams aren't as scary as the Heroes writers. Go dream of Sendhil/Ali.

[hobbitofkobol.livejournal.com]

I think I'm giving up on the show... maybe I'll just read spoilers and look at pretty pics of the cast

GIVE US BACK OUR NATHAN!!!

I want a spinoff in the afterlife with Nathan & Adam & Elle or sth

[gabsy.livejournal.com]

CLAUDE WHERE WAS CLAUDE SPOILERS SAID HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE WAHHHH.

[metatarsus.livejournal.com]

I am so crushed you won't be doing polls anymore ;_; They were what I looked forward to after every episode, just like Beeman's Blog! *sigh* end of an era...

unless i bother you forever and ever and ever and by that i mean all summer until you are like "omg michelle i am going to kill you if you don't stfu here have a fucking 3 question poll" and i'm like "yayyyyyyyyyyy don't kill me 8D"

Tim Kring/angry fans (non-con)

LAWLZ, EPIC.

[decadentdream.livejournal.com]

*tear* I'm going to miss your polls of hilarity (including this one, even in the wake of tragedy), you always managed to bring a smile to my face and emit a chuckle in the wake of Heroes eps whether good or bad *hugz* SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE TIM KRING? YOU GOT RID OF THE BEST POLLS KNOWN TO MAN! :'(

[dref22.livejournal.com]

Aaawww, the pollz... D:

Well, I'm almost sure that there won't be a 5th season of Heroes...This depresses me to no end. D:

[by7the7sea.livejournal.com]

I would quit the show, but Peter (Milo) is still there and I want to see if they are going to have Peter figure it out. It's so sad that Peter and Claire have no idea what happened.

This cast garners a lot of good will that the writers seem desperate to ruin. :(

These polls have been fun. Thanks for creating them.

[cookie-simone.livejournal.com]

Aww... you don't really know me, but I'm gonna miss your polls. Though, I completely understand why you won't be doing them anymore. I probably wouldn't want to either.

[ialwayswill.livejournal.com]

lol awesome poll

I'm probably gonna be emotionally invested in this show for the rest of my life or at least until I stop reading fanfic, which will probably never happened. lulz. :/

DAMN SHOW, I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YOU~

[mwmm23.livejournal.com]

Great poll, as always! I really tried not to tick like all the boxes for all the ticky box questions, lol... Thank you so much for having made all of these <3

Tim Kring/angry fans (non-con)

I just couldn't not pick Nathan/Peter for Ship O' The Week (;_;), but THIS = LMAO XD XD

[brandinsbabe.livejournal.com]

<3333

*sigh*

[mystery-sock.livejournal.com]

I have to go through the emotional disentanglement at the end of EVERY season - just this time I really, really do need to lay down some scar tissue. It doesn't help that this week, both of my TV husbands got whacked (Nathan and Daniel Faraday) but it does help that I have a new one (ALPHA!)...

Love.

[muddyroad.livejournal.com]

Ugh, KRING!!

You had something GOOD going in Season 1, and it's been going downhill since then! FIRST you took Magnificent Bastard Nathan and gave him that godawful beard and freaky Jesus trip, and made a complete MESS of his character. WE WANTED OUR SHARK BACK.

And now you go and do THIS, after the creepy Claire/ Nathan scenes that made me want a shower. And you trashed out Sylar just when he was getting good/ watchable again.

Screw this show. I'll only watch to drool at Adrian's nice pert ass and keep the volume on mute. I just DGAF any more. (Same with Bones and House. It takes a LOT to make me stop caring, but complete and utter LUNACY on the part of the writers tends to do it. Grr.)
