From "Heroes" to Zeros
Sunday, May 20, 2007

Should I even bother to complain about this one?

I liked "Heroes", so far. But I can only fathom that so many of the leading character are being eliminated due to budget concerns. I suspect the series will return (year 2) with a smaller (and much cheaper) cast.

Sounds cold, right?

I've been watching the show more or less faithfully and to be honest, the storyline (to me) is even more muddled than "Lost". This was the problem I had with "Star Trek: TNG" shows / movies and the successive "Star Trek" shows: timeline jumping that weakened a story, not made it better.

I hate that ridiculous plot device.

Does anyone see the sense in a character jumping through time and meeting up with the self in different time periods? Especially when each subsequent self should logically be going through the same experience right after the first time jumper? So isn't that like a hatch full of rabbits jumping willy nilly all over the place? This is so stupid.

It is a perfect conundrum to jump into the past to change yourself, a historical event, and then be able go back to the future having fixed the mistake. However, if you've change the past, then the future won't be same to return to, and based on the circumstances that changed you died or will die, thus unraveling and effectively changing many other events.

Wow, I just though of the perfect stories covering time jumping: Lathe of Heaven by Ursula LeGuin or the movie Lathe of Heaven DVD And one more: Twelve Monkees DVD Love me some Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt.
