I love time-travel. Yet there’s something about the way Heroes handles it that bothers me. Today it struck me.

The time-travel of Heroes is watered down. Zap, someone goes to the future, omg, there’s danger. Then you just blomp* back and yodeloo* the danger away. And then there’s cake. Until the next horrible future is envisioned and then our heroes change it so that it never happens.

The only time I really remember there being some time-travel stuff going on that made my time-travel-fan-sense tingle was when the guy with the stupid face traveled to the future with a cute non-heroics girl and then left the girl there, and changed the future so that he couldn’t travel back to the girl because the timelines had gone all wibbley-wobbley. And that plot was never explored any further. I don’t think stupid face ever mentioned the cute girl ever after that.

*sigh*

* Blomp and yodeloo might not be real words, but they sure as hell describe well what’s going on.
