Spotlight on Fandoms: Heroes
Sunday, August 19th, 2007 12:51 pm![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
In recent days, a seemingly random group of individuals has emerged with what can only be described as "special" abilities.
Although unaware of it now, these individuals will not only save the world, but change it forever. This transformation from ordinary to extraordinary will not occur overnight. Every story has a beginning.
Volume One of their epic tale begins here ...
So begins thetotally Star Wars like opening scroll of Heroes, a show which proved that NBC could successfully greenlight a new show that did not rhyme with Schmeal or no Schmeal and yet people would still like it. Or maybe that's a "because." Suitcases! They open suitcases for an HOUR! WTF???
Anyhoo...
Heroes is a little tricky to do a recap of because part of the awesomeness of the show is the twists and turns of the storyline. Typically if your jaw hasn't dropped by the twist at end of the episode it's only because you were too shocked by the twist that happened ten minutes before it. So going into detail would ruin a good chunk of the experience for those who haven't seen s1 yet. On the other hand s2 is going to start soon and a detailed recap might be just the thing to get newbies up to speed. Therefore as a compromise there will be a non-spoilery recap and then a spoilerish one. Click whichever one you like.
First, the recap without spoilers:
( Where does it come from? This quest? This need to solve life's mysteries, when the simplest of questions can never be answered? )
So now for spoilers. Though not tons of spoilers because A) A little mystery can't hurt and B) If I wrote out every single part of s1 I'd be writing this spotlight well into s3. The show is densely packed with storylines, yo.
Therefore I shall go for summing up as best I can. Since part of s1 involves introducing the characters in the first place, I shall take care of talking about s1 by doing the same.
( In the end, what does it matter when the human heart can only find meaning in the smallest of moments? )
But wait! There's more!
If all that's not enough to get you interested in the show, there's also
( This mildly s1 spoilery stuff )
( How can I see the show? )
And that's all I've got. Massive thanks to

ETA: Spoilerish stuff for s2 in the comments.
