You won't have Peter Petrelli to kick around anymore

NBC won't be making that Heroes TV movie after all.

I watched Heroes from the beginning to the end, and while the show definitely had its problems I never thought it deserved the endless abuse it got. Once the fanboy pile-on begins and it becomes an established "truth" that a given movie/TV show/whatever is the "worst thing ever," the actual quality of the thing becomes irrelevant. People start trying to top each other with how much they hate it, the hater hyperbole gets out of control and eventually nobody will admit that they ever liked the damn show.

So, now Heroes is done. It ended on an ambiguous note, but it wasn't a huge cliffhanger or anything. I'm a little bummed that we'll never find out what was up with the eclipse, and we'll never know if Sylar finally decided to be good or evil or if Claire-bear decided she was straight or bi.

But maybe it's worth it to end the show here, just so the geeks won't be able to spew their venom all over a proper series finale.

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
