Not surprising the third season in the US is tanking after a mixed second season and two producers just got kicked out (one who’s been there from the start) because of that.

Things are not looking good for the show so Ubisoft was wise to drop it.

Party round Ubi’s.

This show is shocking. It’s the perfect example of The Emperor’s New Clothes… except in this version the Emperor is not only naked, he’s waggling his balls around too.

I hope the Empire staffer who named this show as one of the top 10 shows of all time has been fired. To make that judgment after one series which was designed to set up an appalling second series… staggering.

Good. Series three is unbelievable crap. I’m not sure even the writers know where this story is going. The viewers certainly don’t.

Someone died? Don’t fret, they’ll be back next week!

I’m rooting for Sylar.

As for that f***ing cheerleader (I love my Daddy! I hate my Daddy! No, I love my Daddy! No, I HATE my Daddy!) I just hope they cut off her f***ing head sharpish.
