melikalani Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Did anyone catch the pilot episode? I was anxious to watch it because People gave it 4 stars. It was okay. It totally bit off Lost and The 4400, though. The first scene after the "Heroes" logo w/ the eclipse goes straight into Peter's (the nurse) eye - uh, Lost anyone? Then right before the scene w/ the cheerleader jumping from the scaffolding, they played a sound almost exactly like the Lost "theme sound". Then the whole thing with the kid reading a comic book? It totally gave me Walt flashbacks. The eclipse is too close to the 'Ball of Light' arc from The 4400, not to mention the whole abilities thing. My husband was saying that they were paying homage to Lost and The 4400, but I just call it biting off of them. Any opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomaly Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I was really psyched about the show and liked aspects of it. I never watched 4400 or Lost so I have no comparison. It seemed like it would be like a cross between Spiderman and x-Man with potential for good charcter development. The end of the show turned me off. The 'evil force' skulking in the background and the comic book thing really stank and I think will ruin the show and make it too low-brow and un-realistic. If you were familiar with the 70's sci-fi, you would be familiar with the plot of how 'super' abilities are a good device to explore the human condition. (BTW, why Star-Trek was so popular even though it was a pop-culture version of Asmiv, Piers Anthony, Bradburry, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
