Stream of Consciousness TV Blogging: Heroes
Yay scrolltext.
Chapters? Pretentious, but I'll take pretentious over formulaic.
Lecture in India. Anything being described as a pinnacle of evolution is awful science. Multiracial cast a la Lost - that's a plus.
Same with the 10% of the human brain.
So they're mutants?
The professor's dad - plot #1. Not a bad start.
They so need to do a comic tie-in.
And the opening plot ties in to all the other heroes. Nice.
And now it's gratuitous T&A. I'm hoping they'll play with expectations, but it looks like they've introduced a Designated Hot Girl.
Weird voices - what's her power?
Ooh, nifty mirror effect. Still don't know what the power is.
A smart kid that's not annoyingly saccharine.
Invulnerable suicidal cheerleader.
So far, this is really good. Not quite the level of the Lost premiere, but it's the closest thing I've seen since. They seem to get it - don't give us human interest stories about the character, give us the kewl powerz and let the backstory come out naturally.
Jumpy guy again. Can he fly, or is the other guy seeing his death? Okay, I guess it's the flying thing.
Cheerleader girl being cheerleader girl, and the Japanese guy from the previews.
Dude, this guy is seriously teh awesome.
And the first crossover.
Heh. Comics. Bet he'll explain the powerz.
Reflection power again. Still no idea how that works.
Don't care much about Flyboy's subplot. Random politician guy nobody cares about. But he's just the backstory.
Wait, is he psychic or can he fly, or both?
And Mirror Woman has a gambling problem.
Suicidal Invulnerable Cheerleader is fireproof, too?
And of course she learns to be a hero.
And the Professor starts his search for the heroes.
Is painter guy the politician's brother, or just another psychic? Guess he's another psychic.
And crossover #2 - the painting.
And #3 - the taxi.
Aww. Supercidal Cheerleader has a sidekick.
Letting the music carry the montage. Or trying to sell the soundtrack.
Trauma for Mirror Lady - will we finally get to see her power?
Oh, this is just stupid. Why wouldn't the boss rather have money?
And we're back to the Japanese Trekkie. I like his exposition better.
Eep. Everyone does their scary power manifestations while blacked out, apparently.
I so need to come up with superhero names for these people.
And back to the Professor plot. With creepiness and a conspiracy. Yay!
Sweet. Hiro has a blog.
Cheerleader life plot is kinda dull. Too much like the Invasion/Surface stuff. Yawn.
Ew.
There's a neat intersection (Cheerleader's dad).
Damn. I wish I could teleport.
I'm having a hard time following the painter's plot. Were the dreams from the psychic?
And a closing narration.
Epilogue - will he fly or not? It'd be amusing if he went splat, and it was the psychic painter guy predicting his death.
Oh, they both have the power? Confusing.
The comic thing - that's cool.
Also, squee.
