Except now they are shipping Noah with the newly retcon introduced partner...stupid show.
I also loved the Gabriel/Elle...and then the show decided to give a middle finger to the fans by taking one of the only likable characters and have Sylar not only kill her, but burn her body onscreen so there was no coming back...stupid show.
I also liked the Claire + Andy as her best ship. I'm holding out hope that the show will introduce present Andy, although they probably won't because...stupid show.

Stupid show indeed. I'm currently only three episodes into Season Four, slowly watching it online, you see. Even though I know the show is dire, I can't help but come back for more...it's just one of those shows!

I've watched the first two seasons, got bored of the third. In fact I can't even remember the third season and UK has stopped airing it also. And I actually like the Big Bang Theory, don't like Reaper though... can't get into it.
I basically watch whatever is on tv to be honest, no schedule.

Agh! I know! Syelle was the perfect pair. They were so good (or bad, depending on how you look at it) together. I was so pissed when they had Sylar kill her! And the worst part is that they even considered alternative storylines: Noah Gray! We all know Elle was his mother, they all but admitted it off screen with how they talked about "Noah's mother will be revealed during the eclipse" and then after Elle was killed, "Oh, we considered other storylines with Elle, involving babies and..." What a way to talk up the fans only to have them kill Elle and never actually reveal that she got pregnant. I wish they'd use time travel to fix that big ass error!
And X, I'm so with you. They keep bringing elements of season one back into the present and there's an itsy bitsy part of me that keeps hoping that Andy will be one of the things they'll bring back for Claire. I know they've probably forgotten him by now, but they were just so cute together and none of her other romances have really hit me the way those two did in that one episode. (Claire's relationships are pretty boring for the most part, IMHO. And I hated her with the flying boy.)

I've never been able to get very invested in Heroes. My cousin's pretty hooked on the show and I tried my best during season 1, but the show just doesn't hold my interest that much. And now that I keep reading how screwed up the show is now, I don't think I'll ever get invested in Heroes. Shows I do watch/love are: Gossip Girl! It's the ultimate teen drama guilty pleasure for me right now and the sole reason for that is Blair&Chuck! These two are the only reason I started watching and they're the only reason I still watch right now. I just love the two together and Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester have really proved themselves to be very talented and capable actors. They bring these characters to life and without them in the roles, both Chuck and Blair would just be the stereotypical bad boy/girl who would probably be the most hated characters instead of the most beloved characters that they are right now. These two really are the best thing that happened to GG. Besides Chuck and Blair I don't really have any favorites on Gossip Girl. I'm indifferent to Dan and Serena (I don't really like either Penn or Blake's acting styles). I've never been able to connect with Serena and now I just find her downright annoying with this stupid married congressman sl, and Dan is just now starting to interest me, now that he's developing feelings for Vanessa. Nate is a character I used to hate (along with Serena, because of what they did to Blair, and him especially because of the way he continued to treat Blair), but now I actually find him quite loveable and Chace's acting has sort of improved. I'm just sort of bummed that they're pairing him with Serena now as I don't think she deserves him or his love, but that could change if Serena redeems herself in my eyes. Another show I absolutely love is Mad Men! I don't know if anyone here watches it, but it's an amazing show and one of the few quality shows on television right now! I'm completely in love with it and I'm going crazy waiting for the new season to begin (which it won't in quite a while as the third season has just ended)! For anyone who doesn't know/watch it, it's a drama series that takes place in the 60's and centers around the life of Don Draper, a big shot ad man at Sterling Cooper Advertising. He's your typical chain-smoking, somewhat self-absorbed, arrogant 60's businessman, and just like the Chuck and Blair characters, in the wrong hands, he and the show could've been disastrous, but the actor, Jon Hamm, really brings the character to such a higher level that you can't help but love him, despite all of the shitty things he does (and he does a lot of them). The show is filled with quality actors (Elizabeth Moss is another favorite of mine) and intriguing storylines. Some might say it's racist and mysoginistic (I have no idea if I spelled that right xD) but that's only because it's set in the 60's where racism was still very much accepted and women lived to becomes doting wives and stay at home moms. I personally love it and I'm an ambitious, multiracial 18 year old girl who isn't planning on becoming a wife or a mom anytime soon. It's just great television and I, for one, absolutely love it! Now that I've gone on so long about the shows that I love, hahaha, I'll keep it short on the shows that I hate, and that won't be such a problem cause there's only one show I really hate right now and that's One Tree Hill. To, as I said, keep it short; bad writing, bad storytelling, mediocre acting and a caveman mentality (whereas Mad Men has the excuse of being set in the 60's, this show does not as it is not even set in 2009, but five to six years into the future!) I used to think this was a good show, a nice teen drama with nice storylines and engaging characters, but ever since season 4, all of that went down the drain and it's just become a sad, pathetic version of its former self. Okay, rant over!
