| Heroes - so worth another look, and a question...
|
|
|
I'm currently rewatching Heroes series 1. It really is good - you forget how much each episode makes you want to find out what happens next, that you start caring about the characters, how it is sometimes difficult to spot the plot twists - unlike a lot of films and programmes I've seen recently. I know it's a bit like X-men (the plot in particular feels really like X-men 2) but that doesn't stop it being a really well made piece of drama.
Series 2 has not yet aired inthe UK. I gather it has in the US, that it has been disappinting and that the writers strike in Hollywood has given a much needed pause for reflection on the direction of the story line. Shame - but I will still check it out for myself when it is finally screened over here.
So if you were to be a Hero and to have a special power, what would you want it to be? And would you feel any need to use it in a way beneficial to humankind?

FINALLY! A Heroes fan!:P Between that and LOST, it's hard to find someone to talk to about it:P
I am not ecstatic about either show...by far. But, I DID commit myself to giving Heroes a try. At first, it was hard to grasp if you missed a few seconds. A few seconds held so much...even though later it meant very little. I initially hated Claire for being so daring/suicidal. I was intrigued by Nikki--though I am still a lil bewildered by her ability/curse(the super strength bit was kinda hot toward the end of the first Sylar confrontation:P). I fell in love with Eden...aaah, Nora Zehetner:)
Ok, before I run on...I put the answer to the power question in my profile actually:D But, I am not sure I would be all heroic for mankind with it. My heart can give so much, but--as Aunt May said in Spiderman--I'm not Superman, you know?:P I would hardly be selfish, but I can't save everyone. So, I guess I would be a mix of Peter's exuberant sense of justice and whimsy, Nathan's indifference(shhh, keep it down) and Hiro's boyish dreaming(esp. having a magic sword). His love interest in Chapter 2(as was the redhead he met) is rather appealing(but why does Hiro come off so gay??:P something not right about him).
