Heroes concluded this week on BBC2, putting together the last two episodes of the cult-soaked mainstream hit series.
The first of the two episodes this week promised to start with a bang, quite literally. When we last left the titular band of heroes Peter Petrelli was about to go nuclear, thereby splattering his floppy hair all over the place. The episode closed with him telling his niece Claire to shoot him, exciting and promising stuff - or so you’d think. It seems the writers are so desperate to keep their audience that they seem to assume that we have the attention span of an ADHD kid who has drunk two litres of coke. What we get is Peter just turning around and saying he’s OK and then they plod along onto their next adventure. Cliff-hangers in television are good, and Heroes has had some corkers, but when it contributes nothing to the plot or characters it feels like an unnecessary gimmick.
Hayden Panettiere is best-known for being the cheerleader from Heroes who can mangle up her body and then spontaneously regenerate - either that or being the one from Heroes that makes you feel the most like a dirty old man. However, if you're from Japan then Hayden Panettiere is a high-profile fugitive who hates Japanese culture to such an extent that she's in a huge amount of trouble for it. Admittedly that's because the part of Japanese culture that Hayden Panettiere hates the most is the way they slaughter dolphins - and her surfboard-based pre-dawn attempts to disrupt a dolphin cull last month has resulted in a Japanese arrest warrant being placed on Hayden Panettiere's head. Forget 'save the cheerleader, save the world'; this is a case of 'arrest the cheerleader, curtail a potentially knotty international diplomatic incident'.
Also, it's thought that - following Hayden Panettiere's Japanese arrest warrant - the schizophrenic porno girl from Heroes who used to be in Dawson's Creek has decided to keep her controversial anti-Hello Kitty sentiments to herself for now.
