Okay, again, an episode that could have been great that was just 'eh, okay' for me. I didn't have time to do the following study for the whole show, but it is pretty telling.
The following is how long each story line was followed before switching...times are approximate...
1-Ireland-1 minute 45 seconds
2-Siblings-1 minute 30 seconds
3-Micah-45 seconds
4-Sylar-2 minutes
5-Claire-2 minutes
6-Mohninder/NY Life-1 minute
7-Ando/Hiro-3 minutes 15 seconds
All of this was before the second commercial, for crying out loud. That is pretty damn bad. It's friggin' ADD TV. The show needs ritalin (sp?). I'm giving it another episode. It has some great stuff in there, but instead of playing it up, it's fallen too far into the 'few seconds of this, few seconds of that' zone.
