Message: <blockquote data-quote="Simplicity" data-source="post: 3090267" data-attributes="member: 1496">Adrian Pasdar is really the single beacon of hope that I have for this show (other than Hiro's comic relief).  I loved him on Profit, which was way to good to be cancelled, but sadly was.  The webcam girl storyline could be good as well...  She was okay in Final Destination.(Some spoilers in rest of post for episode...  I'm assuming that's okay in this thread).As for the comparison to 4400, it's not all that fair since the 4400 has had a lot more time to develop its characters.  I can feel for the high school kid who somehow steals his brothers girlfriend.  A black man from the fifties comes to the present...  There's an intrinsic storyline that is set up there that you can relate to.  Detective father who is out of touch with his kids.  Been done before, and done since, but it's understandable.But, somehow Heroes reminds me of a Mad TV sketch...  Pretty White Kids with Problems.  The characters don't seem real or human in any way.  They seem like they're from the OC (even though they're in NYC).  There's nurse guy who cares for rich old guy (who thinks he can fly for no reason other than he dreams alot).  His brother is a big-time politician.  His mother is a kleptomaniac.  There's self-annihilation-seeking cheerleader... Why?  She's apparently emo or something.  But she likes to wear cheerleader outfits (probably so you know she's a cheerleader).  Webcam mom is upset because she donated $25,000 to a private school so her 10 year old kid can learn to fix broken 'logic units' on circuit boards (huh?).  Even though she is apparently $50k in the hole.  Sure people have problems.  But it's like the writers of the show played Madlibs to come up with their character's personality quirks.</blockquote>
