Heroes mini-rant

[lady_sarai]

...Seriously, I'm pissed, Heroes. WTF. Claire goes into a comic book store and the cashier says "You're a girl. We don't get many of you in here." And then is convinced that because she is a hot girl, someone is playing a trick on him. There was something about a lap dance involved, but I was too busy gaping to remember the exact quote.

...What the heck! This is not what I expect from you, show. I am very, very, very unhappy about that.

VERY. I have liked you! Fwah! Never mind that Sylar is evil and stupid again and apparently has a mini-me, and I hate that. Never mind that I hate what is happening with the Petrellis. I was okay with these things, because I had some faith that things would turn out.

But I am disappointed, show. Very disappointed.

Edit: Okay, some more thoughts. I know you are not always a great show where women are concerned. I have seen every episode, watched every season. You have many awesome women, who do awesome things.

...Well, you did. You've killed Niki/Jessica, and replaced her with Tracy--I give up on that. Angela Petrelli is awesome! ...Why is there not more of her? Claire and Sandra Bennet are awesome. But Mr. Bennett is stupid sometimes. Daphne--I'm not ready to believe what happened actually happened, and I'm not discussing it yet.

But erg. That is not something anyone would say in a comic book store. Not someone who works in one, at least not in any one that I have ever been in.

That is just NOT OKAY. NOT OKAY AT ALL.

I've actually been in a comic book store where something like that happened. Of course, this was also the store where the owner looked at porn behind the counter and could occasionally be heard ranting about the Jews. So that's really more the store's issue than anything else.

Pah. Bad Heroes. I'm offended on behalf of geekdom here. Stop making us look bad!

...Totally agree on Daphne. RAGE.

Every comic shop I've ever been in was just glad to have another customer. I'd be more likely to get comments like that from other customers, never from someone who actually worked there.

So, FAIL, Heroes. Comic shop owners and clerks all over the world should be up in arms for this.

I didn't get annoyed because Alex said something about how this was "getting me back for the birthday thing" before it went to the lapdance. So my mind went to Alex doing something for his friend, like sending a stripper or something, and figured the friend was hooking him up. I guess I made up a whole backstory? It just didn't seem completely out of place to me. But I could be way wrong.

But how awesome are Hiro and Ando? Especially Ando! With his powers! And being a hero! And I LOVE ANDO SO SO MUCH.
