what i really don't understand is no one is stepping up going 'wow, i have this amazing ability, i need to show the world i'm a superhero' and start a traveling band or something saving lives. why the seclusion and ideology that they are different in a bad way. haven't they ever read a comic book?!? people with powers fuckin rule!

(May 8 07, 10:29)I know what you mean. I'm guessing that having those abilities only complicates one's life a lot more in reality, especially on TV to make it more interesting and angsty. The people who don't have powers are the ones who are more interested in saving the world or helping people, like Bennett and Mohinder. The closest you will get to someone who truly wants to save the world right now is Hiro. And then Peter.

I read an interview with one of the creators and he said they'll tie up this story line (Save the Cheerleader/Save the World) at the end of the season and start a whole new storyline in the Fall...
Smart idea...

(May 8 07, 10:35)Many television shows are now wrapping up major story arcs within one season so that the mysteries don't go on forever and ever and turn off viewers. As long as the writers can keep coming out with great stuff (which I'm sure they can in this show) then doing a one-season story arc is a great idea.

If you come up with a bunch of super powers... even if you REALLY REALLY think about it.. you will probably always come up with stuff that has already been done in one way or another. They show has a totally different feel to it than anything else in it's genre and imo isn't comparable at all...

(May 8 07, 12:06)Exactly. I mentioned this before. It's very difficult to come up with completely new super powers and keep the show interesting and have the characters useful all at the same time.

how long do writers spend developing and planning out a show like this?

(May 8 07, 12:11)Basically, you have to have some genius writers who plan most of the main plot lines out way ahead of time so that different storylines can intertwine in an interesting manner. Heroes has amazing writers. I have always wondered this about many great shows myself.

Mama Petrelli is pretty damn good at manipulating people already. She doesn't need any powers ;)
Hiro can basically do anything. What I mean is, by having the ability to stop time and then teleport away, he can
go anything and get away with it. For example, if he were evil or coerced he could also rig the election by stopping
time and then changing the ballots or something.I think ender is right about Linderman being really old. I'm guessing that he heals
or re-grows himself whenever something goes wrong (if it ever does) but he isn't fast enough to stop aging.
