Well, it had to happen, ever since season seven began several weeks ago, it was only a matter of time, and so Heroes part one was shown on Thursday, with the second part shown on Friday. Quite how a story like Heroes became a two part episode arc is beyond me. For me, a part one episode is so entertaining that you barely notice the passage of time, you are so engrossed in the action, and there is a collective groan when the words, to be continued appear on screen, Heroes wasn't one of those episodes. The episode began with Emmet Bregman telling the two camera men to get good shots of the stargate, an officer, who identifies himself as Col Tom Rundell, the public affairs liason approaches him and asks what he is doing and tells him that he has no authorisation to begin filming until he has been briefed by General Hammond. Bregman protests that he doesn't need briefing but agrees to meet the general. He goes into Hammond's office, and offers his hand, which Hammond does't accept. The notion that Bregman would not have met Hammond and the liason officer(at the very least), to discuss the nature of Bregman's documentation of the stargate, what he intends, and to lay down strict bondaries is utterly preposterous from which the episode never recovers. It is so full of plot holes, the state of the art body armour, which is resistant to staff blasts, which protects Sgt Siler, Jack and airman wells, but not Janet. Part two is just as much of a mess as part one, with a massive battle between several SG teams and a huge Gou' ald force(we never discover just why such a huge force is sent to the planet, or quite how the SG teams manage to make it to the gate), Daniel has accompanied Janet(who has never been sent to the heart of a battle before), to attend to airman Wells, who has been hit by a staff blast and is in agony. Believing that he is going to die, Wells asks Daniel to record a message for his wife, so Daniel gets out his camera(yes, he brougt a camera), and starts recording. Covered in mud and blood, Wells is in so much agony that he decides that he doesn't want his wife to see him like this, and sceams at Daniel to stop recording(you could't make this up). We only learn much later, that this is when Janet is hit by a staff blast, the camera records this. That's it, a split second and she is gone, not much of a send off was it, seriously, was that the best the writers could come up with? In an interview of July of this year, Teryl Rothery explained how just reading the script of Heroes made her cry(i know the feeling), and said that to this day she has never watched it, i would advise her not to bother. Apologies for this rant, but when i have seen Heroes described as a work of art, i can only assume they must be talking about a another show.
This video gets better the more times you see it, i really appreciate the work that goes into them. The image of Janet from the season four classic, 2010, is a magical one, she is stunning. That episode, is my favourite, it really should have been a two part story, in fact, i think it should have been a story arc, the writers could have been given licence to do what ever they wanted with the characters, Daniel and Janet married and trying for a baby, like Sam, Genera Hammond discovering the truth behind the Aschen and being murdered, Janet suspecting foul play. In the end, it wouldn't have mattered, because the timeline would have been reset.
@@debradakayebrowning1239 Thanks. I think it woud have been great to have seen all of our beloved characters explore different storylines, Janet complains that she is now obsolete, it would have been intersting to see how that came to be. Jack, the lone voice, trying to get Sam, Daniel(usually the one who questioned things), and Teal'c to see tha the Aschen were too good to be true, and seeing their relationships break up. One final point, i have always wondered what happened to Janet who travelled to Chulak and was the only one to survive.
Another thought that occured to me in the wake of Heroes was how it was supposed to be about heroism and sacrifice. Surely it would have been far better to have had airman Wells killed in action, he wouldn't have been a "redshirt", it would have shown just how his death would have an emotional impact, with his wife who would never see her husband again and giving birth to a baby who would grow up never knowing her farther. There could have been a conversation around disclosure, shouldn't his wife at the very least be made aware of how and where her husband died?
