[simptasia]

do i have any right to call buffy a cringe show when im currently browsing old heroes sylar/peter fanfiction?

yeah

#ohh you talk about a cringe show? the writers strike of 2007 to 2008 fucked heroes HARD #season 1 is a good and engaging television. seasons 2 to 4 are a trainwreck in slow motion #and honestly the only reason people kept watching was because of sylar. and the show was paaainfully aware of that #an exercise in beating a horse to death #and i watched. i watched those terrible seasons. because zachary quinto causes pussy derangement #and im not ashamed. have you fucking seen that man #anyways. season 1 is good #at least as far as i remember. the actors are great. and the editing/score is very good #iits very like. gripping #i think season 1 of heroes was the Peak of that genre of television that happened when LOST was popular #that genre being We Wanna Be LOST So Baaaaad #i saw heroes before lost btw #but looking back and having rewatched heroes since. it's so got that lost copycat vibe #in a good way! during season one! #large ensemble cast of fucked up people #and theres mysteries and intrigue and everybody is connected. it's great #also heroes does something i consider fucking inspired: when they change the scene to somebody else #theres text at the bottom telling the audience which character(s) we're focusing on (and their location) #its their version of an establishing shot and i really like it. it's simple but effective. and helps one keep track of everybody #heroes turned out bad but to anybody who has seen it: when you start the show and you hear that weird wail singing #mohinder's narration all like ''where do we come from?'' over shots of several of our characters #don't tell me you don't feel chills
