So, last night’s Heroes didn’t move the plot too far, although we did finally see Nikki’s shadow self in action, as well as the true nature of the painter’s precognitive ability. The best moment, however, came when Peter met future Hiro, which gave us a first glimpse of where the show may be going.

Unlike The 4400, Heroes does a lot with superpowers on a television budget — I actually feel like these people do have powers, even if they’re often left up to the imagination. And storywise, I’m reminded quite a bit of the old George R.R. Martin-edited Wildcards series of novels. The execution of the “superheroes in the real world” concept is very similar, but not quite as dark as Wildcards. Still, this is probably the closest we’ll ever get to seeing George R.R. Martin’s vision on television.

  I figurged you would like Heroes. It is my new favorite show, I can’t wait to see what happens next. Hope you, Tina, and the babies are doing well.
