I Believe I Can Fly

So Meghan and I finally watched the premiere of NBC's new show, HEROES, last night. It wasn't quite what I was expecting it to be, but it wa sstill pretty good. The next episode is on tonight, and I'll be sure to have my tape ready to catch it.

I realize now that I have too many expectations about this kinda stuff. I've read too many superhero books. But what I like about this series is that no one knows where these people are getting their powers. One theory by one of the characters is that it's evolutionary, but it's only a theory. There's also a lot of buzz going on in the first episode about a solar eclipse that's supposedly the biggest in history. It, too, could be the cause.

So far, here are the powers that have been introduced: regeneration, teleportation / time travel, flight, premonitions, and multiple personalities (similar to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde). There's also a guy who has some power that's so far undetermined, but it seems like he has the ability to find people who have powers. And in the next episode, it looks like there's a cop with psychic abilities.

So be sure to check out the next episode of HEROES tonight! I know I will.
