Heroes

[Nique]

Although, considering how many people believe in the Christian conception of God, I guess conservation of mass and energy, and the universality of physical laws don't really enter into most Americans' minds in a given day.

What the hell? Can we NOT go there?


On HEROS; I just watched it for the first time last night. I really dont think they are actually going to reveal the source of the powers as 'evolution' - that might be a big part of it as they are already mentioning it... but it's early yet in the show.

As for the powers themselves... Well,

But, for fuck's sake, it's 2006! I think most people now know that you can't get the power to stop fucking time from "evolving." OK, NBC? Stopping time never made sense, ever, especially when it happens via genetics. That's pretty much as absurd as it gets. I mean, basic physics, people.

Maybe it's more localized. Like, not that he is actually halting time, but that he himself is moving through time differently than the rest of us.

Flying, as in the case of superman, has been explained before via a telekinetic control of gravitational forces. Gravity has always played a role in Superman's Powers, so this seems somewhat plausible.

I think the idea of learning how to control these suddenly occuring powers is something that hasn't been done much in comics or comic-based movies. I mean, sort-of with X-men, and sort-of with Spider-Man, but it always seems like they know how to use their powers effectivly within a very short period of time. Heros is markedly different in this respect.
