Heroes

Samuel Sullivan's accent has been bugging me all season. Samuel is a new character this season. I'm not really sure of his purpose, I'm not sure the writers truly know. It's just a convenient way to keep Sylar around. He's played by Robert Knepper who was pretty good in Prison Break (at least up until a couple episodes into the third season when I stopped watching because it became abundantly clear the season would be a repeat of season one only this time in Panama without the novelty). I cannot for the life of me figure out why no one tells Knepper that his Irish accent is mostly laughable, sometimes okay, and intermittent. Either way, this series seems to be going the way of Lost. If I didn't like so many of the characters (Peter, Hiro and Ando, Claire, HRG, and Sylar), I would've already dropped the show like I did with Lost halfway through last season.
