Telebox fun
Well finally Heroes has arrived on to Terrestrial TV in the UK and I advise anyone who has nothing to do on a Wednesday night or has access to a VCR or PVR (Sky+) to set it recording to BBC 2. It seems like quite a few people have watched it already and it could be a rating success for the channel. It’s nothing new in one sense as it is very close to the concept of the X-Men but it is done in a very different way so much so that my sister-in-law enjoys it. It’s action packed, plenty of twists and turns, a little gory in parts, good characters, some humour, suspense and there is even some interesting philosophies in there too. If you hate spoilers I’d avoid anything that even remotely mentions it on the internet.

andy, what philosophies have you found interesting? (without spoiling it for people)

Well that is hard without spoilers and it’s been a while since I watched it. I remember destiny and whether we are born with a purpose. Even though evolution is the explanation for the cause of the mutation there is still some mention of God which is interesting. There is in an interesting character who appears later so I don’t want to spoil him. Plenty of good versus evil, redemption in relationship and the main plot for the second half poses a classic ethical question.
It’s not quite like Lost where you have characters named after philosophers…
