Maybe It's Me...

Current Mood:
CC is listening to: All I Need--Richard Elliot (City Speak)

So many people I know love the TV series Heroes. It's nominated for two Golden Globes, including Best Drama. It's also a People's Choice nominee for Favorite New TV Drama, so it's certainly making waves and impressing a *lot* of people.

Maybe it's just me, and don't get me wrong, it's an interesting story--kind of like X-Men meets 24. It's just that, well, it's X-Men meets 24.

It's a race against the clock to save the city from a bomb (in the form of a person--hints are dropped that it's going to be Peter Petrelli). Don't get me started how the prediction (in the form of a painting) looked very Dark Phoenix. I can't find a picture of the painting, but I found the Dark Phoenix picture it reminded me of:
And speaking of Dark Phoenix, one of the Heroes mutants is fighting with herself to keep her darker alter ego from taking over her body.
A Professor tries to locate mutants around the world so he can bring them all together.
Peter Petrelli's power is that he's able to temporarily siphon the powers of other mutants. He *looks* like Cyclops, but is actually Rogue.

Cyclops from X-Men

Peter Petrelli from Heroes

Another mutant's power is an uncanny ability to heal. I was surprised she didn't have an adamantium skeleton :-).

Maybe it was *meant* to be X-Men meets 24. And that's fine. I mean, I've watched all 11 first-season episodes in 3 days. It's got a nice story. It's just that, for a Golden Globe and People's Choice nominee, I was hoping the characters and/or story were going to be a little more... I dunno, I guess original.

And I'm probably wrong about this (I usually am), but for now I'm going to predict that Sylar (the bad guy killing off all the other mutants so he can get their powers) is going to have a confrontation with Peter Petrelli and Peter will siphon off Sylar's powers. However, he'll be unable to contain it and, in a moment of heroism, he'll kill himself to save the city.

...It can't be THAT cliche :-). I hope not :-).
