How To Stop An Exploding Man
“Do you know what the definition of a hero is? Someone who gets other people killed. You can look it up later.”, Zoe Warren, “Serenity” (2005).
14 more days to go! I’m so excited! September 24, the premier date of Heroes season 2. Here’s the teaser taken from TV.com:
Four Months Later
Four months after the events of the showdown between Sylar and Peter, new Heroes emerge. These include Blackie, an Irish mobster who is 1,000 years old. Hiro remains in the past, but what will come of this? Someone dies and someone isn’t dead. Claire has a boyfriend. New heroes are introduced.
I wonder who that “someone who isn’t dead” is. Sylar or Simone? It was pretty obvious at the last episode that Sylar didn’t die. Maybe Simone gets a power too, his dad had one.
Heroes is all about people all over the world discovering that they have incredible abilities. As the story unfolds, they soon found out that each of them has a role in saving the world from a catastrophic event. It’s like a comic book brought to life. Here’s the show’s main character profiles:
