Everybody Needs A Hero

I’m a huge fan of the TV series Heroes. If you haven’t caught on to it, then I highly recommend you do this evening on NBC 8 p.m. CST.

It’s about mankind entering a new stage in their evolution, where people are discovering unique abilities that make them extraordinary. Some use their powers for good, others for evil.

Aside from the great storytelling this show has, I like that they don’t cram the special effects down your throat. The show, IMHO, succeeds in being believable. If they started out with people dressing up in hot-colored spandex like comic book heroes, I believe the show would have fallen on its face after two weeks.

No, this one takes its time, showing you just the right balance of super powers and story, revealing a little bit here and there and always keeping you longing for more. This isn’t like Lost, where they drag… out… their…. storrryyy… line.

Sites abound on the Internet paying homage to the show, like Heroes Revealed. If you’re into picking up spoilers, that’s the place for you. For me, knowing what’s going to happen ahead of time makes me all the more anxious to see it.

Here’s a sample:
