It's been a long two decades, Mister Kring.

[sff_corgi_lj]

One of the staff writers (along with the marvellous James D. Parriot, the very genre-ish Michael Cassutt and the experienced Pam Norris) of the annoyingly unavailable but completely memorable Misfits of Science has created a new superhero show for NBC this fall.

This is gonna be great.

ETA: OKOKOK, here: Heroes ("Heroes" 2006/II). And here: Heroes-TV, #1 Fan Site for NBC's Heroes (wow, they work fast...). And lastly, Wiki: Heroes (TV series).

Um - I think I'd better wait until the first season is over before kicking the fanfiction engine into gear.

You could maybe even see a whole episode first! [/rimshot]

But really, it looks totally watchable considering what Kring's been doing since the Misfits. There's hope for broadcast yet.

Aaaaand it would help those of your avid readers who a Too Damned Busy Today if they didn't have to google for the title, "Heores". [mutter, grumble, kvetch, winge]

Yes, it looks interesting and promising. I hope they don't screw it up. ;]

Sorry, sorry, fixed. It was very late when I wrote it and before caffeine when I posted.

This is, like, flist deja vu! Do you know kaseido? He linked to the trailer with much gushing on his LJ a couple of weeks ago. :)

I can't wait for the show!

[kit-the-brave.livejournal.com]

Hee - I see you do, cause he commented above me! Y'all are going to have great fun discussing this show, I know it... :)

I've been a very bad Flistie for quite some time, I didn't see his post [hangs head]. Time issues.

BTW, did you do a proper application for the McConnells? Just for sake of completeness, you see.

Very interesting, M'mselle Bond. Now you must face...Oh, darn it, my fluffy cat peed on my death ray. Go have a nice day, curse you.

I was really excited about that. But... the more commercials I see, and the more of the acting I see, (the cheerleader + woman with strange reflection especially peeves me off. Getting kinda tired of the generic beautiful...ish, blond or brunette/blond girl with the "of course this is happening. to me. *scoff*" personality that every hip new sitcom seems to draw from. And the supporting male leads who have similar, but mostly supporting "of course. This is happening to me. I guess." personalities. Like... there's an acting pool out there somewhere that *every, single new show* gets actors from, those actors all have the exact same method for approaching their characters, and no, it didn't work on any other show, so why would it work on any new one. .... plus, everyone is white and pristine except for the one random japanese dude.)

..../rant. (Sorry, I've been stewing about this for some time)

... I love the concept. I'd like to see that same concept with actors who don't make me want to hurt them and diversification of ideas. Maybe I should write for t.v. when i grow up.

[?] But one of the guys is Hindu-type Indian; and the kid is blended-ethnic (well, he's not pink, lemme put it that way). As to their acting abilities, I can't speak to those -- haven't seen anything except webpages. I'm feeling cut off and left behind a lot lately. :/

Mm? (goes to look at links you posted) (......)

(.....) Mmmindeed. I hadn't seen anything but commercials up to now. I see there's even a black guy? O_o (not surprised, but wonder why none of these characters are in the commercials? Are they not leading characters? Supporting cast? that would explain it.) (pokes around some more)

(......) It seems that the one dark guy on the cast plays a prison inmate.

(facepalm) **thwaps Hollywood with shoes.**

*sighs.* The unfortunate thing is that looking at the synopses for the show on those links only made it look more interesting, like this on the wiki-link: The drama tells the story of people who "thought they were like everyone else... until they woke with incredible abilities".[1] A Japanese salaryman discovers that he can manipulate time and space. A struggling New York artist can paint the future but only whilst he is using heroin. A discontented police officer in Los Angeles can hear the thoughts of others. A high school cheerleader discovers she recovers from any injury and a single mom realizes she has "a powerful alter ego". The premise is that these people have a role in "saving humankind".

According to the NBC website,[1] not only do the characters discover what having superpowers means to them

But I have absolutely no belief that the final production values will match the promise of those conceptive ideas, based on what I've seen so far. Every show, no matter how interesting its ideas, are starting to be cooki-cutters of every other show out there.

Hollywood, be more creative!! Stop thinking about your paychecks!!
