Heroes

I just finished the 23-episode season 1 of Heroes. Yep, the series. I once saw it's promotion in TV and I told myself it was a sloppy flick. Someone by the name of Tim Kring is just trying to make a sorta Justice League, Fantastic 4 or more like the X-Men; with different characters having supernatural powers of their own. Tough luck. I simply brushed it off. Until recently, my aunt bought a DVD copy of Lost and Heroes. Yeah, the tendency to get hooked to these kinds of series may be in the genes. Grey's Anatomy and Prison Break are on the list as well. We just had a 6-day weekend over the storm, and after finishing all school work, I gave Heroes a try.

Now, movies or tv series, for me, are not merely for satisfaction. I do watch those that make me cry for laughing too much, or those that make me laugh at myself for being a cry baby. But if it can't affect me that way, and it doesn't make my brains work, that's worse. Heroes is different. Maybe I can make a series of insights for every character in the series :D Really.
