First Scene I saw
|
My parents were telling me about a show called Heroes and that it was meant to be brilliant but i didn't listen and i didn't watch it when it first aired on wednesday on BBC2, anywhoo it was the following Sunday night and nothing was on so i flipping the channels and ended up catching a scene of Heroes - the first Claire scene. I watched the rest of that episode (1x01) and the next episode was straight after it so i watched that too.
So every week we'd sit down and watch Heroes, twas like family time.
Then we watched Collision (1x04) and it finshed when future Hiro said to Peter 'i have a message for you' it was such a good cliffhanger we watched the next one on BBC3.
It was mid August and i was at the beach challet and my mums friend was talking about it saying 'oh well we watched them all online' and as i didn't really go on the computer i didn't know you could do that (how stupid of me) so the gayness of me overtook and i ran home from that moment no joke and ran inside my house and started my computer up, i was so out of breath but anyway, oh and thats how i discovered fanpop =] so it was a saturday and i watched all 19...

Without a doubt Heroes was one of the huge breakout hits of the 2006/07 television season. The show almost cured me of my Lost addiction (at the very least it made up for Lost's lengthy mid-season hiatus).
One of the best aspects of Heroes was the series' creators willingness to "play for keeps". More specifically this meant that the stakes in the story were high. Characters would be sacrificed to propel the story along. Some would die tragically others might be "collateral damage". Either way, the writers' aimed to keep us on our toes and realize that the threat of death or permanent injury wasn't just idle chatter.
In the Heroes universe, you can reasonably say that no one is safe. Everyone from the nameless extra to the marquee hero is fair game when it comes to taking an unexpected detour to the underworld. In looking ahead to season 2, I started wondering if season 1 might provide any clues as to what kind of heroic carnage might be in store for us. Like a good mutual fund prospectus, I realize that past performance isn't always an indicator of the future, but given the dearth of information at our disposal, could some of the trends from season 1 at...

Future Hiro

*** POTENTIAL SPOILERS ALERT ***
Time travel as a conceit in writing and plot development is not new. However, the writers often take liberties in how they implement the time travel and very few try to make causality work in any definite way. Often it is left up to the reader or viewer to "make up" a way where causal relationships still hold true. Heroes started off very promising with a time travel character, Hiro, who seems to be bound by strict rules of causality and what I will refer to as Linear Time Travel. Last night's episode - where Hiro travels to a dark future and witnesses some troubling events - may throw a monkey wrench in which type of travel device is being used.
As I see it, there are three main types of time travel devices used in literature:
1. Linear Time Travel
Linear Time Travel is probably the most rigid of the time travel conceits. In this model, the plot travels in one timeline in which the time travelers are able to move forward and backwards to various points along the timeline. The past can't be changed, but looks like it can be altered simply due to the fact that as viewers we lack sufficient information to know...
