TV Addict

New show on TV which I am enjoying tremendously. It's called "Heroes". With tagline 'Ordinary People Discovering Extraordinary Abilities', it traverses some of the X-men territory. It's been picked up for a full season. Great.

As a total eclipse casts its shadow across the globe, a genetics professor in India is led by father's disappearance to uncover a secret theory -- there are people with super powers living among us. A young dreamer tries to convince his politician brother that he can fly. A high school cheerleader learns that she is totally indestructible. A Las Vegas stripper, struggling to make ends meet to support her young son, discovers that her mirror image has a secret. A fugitive from justice continues to baffle authorities who twice have been unable to contain him. A gifted artist, whose drug addiction is destroying his life and relationship with his girlfriend, can paint the future. A down-on-his-luck Los Angeles beat cop can hear people's thoughts, which puts him on the trail of an elusive serial killer. In Japan, a young man develops a way to stop time through sheer will power. Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world…

It's amazing how American TV nowadays is always trying to be politically correct when it comes to racial demographics. An Indian and a Japanese and a Latino in the main cast? Children of mixed parentage? But a really good story so far and I love the plot twists. Another show that will keep me busy this fall season.
