I finally caught Heroes this week. It was not the show its marketing, which had initially led me to write the show off, would have let me to believe it was. Nor is it the show all the gushing word-of-mouth had led me to anticipate. It is entirely its own sort of thing, which I guess is pretty cool.
Oddly, the closest TV I can compare it to is The X-Files, which is a weird comparison considering the structure is completely unlike that.
Admiral Adama getting in the ring to make an object lesson, then follow up with the moving speech to his crew was so fucking true to character it was just awesome.
I do worry a lot that without Billy and the cancer, the character of Laura Roslin has lost a lot of substance. I was really happiest in the beginning, when it was like West Wing... In Space!
Please make the string "cylon" an optional alternative to "human" in the spamblocker. Bigot.
