You can call me Tempest.
I'm a writer, most often committing acts of Fantasy and Science Fiction, though I have been known to slip in and out of genres. I'm a famous blogger, an editor of some repute, and hopeless convention addict.

Frickin’ HARSH, dude!
But an extremely fun read. Makes me glad I don’t watch Heroes!
Sooo… for someone who’s only seen the first episode, is it worth even starting Heroes or should I give up before I have a chance to be disappointed?
See, the problem with Heroes after season 1 is that they’re choosing the wrong X-men plots to ripoff. Season 1 was Days of Future Past on fucking steroids, man. Fantastic. Season 2 was like a really wimpy X-Cutioner’s Song without most of the important characters, with an emo Hellfire Club thrown in.
Since it’s always been clear that Heroes is basically an X-Men pastiche with no costumes or codenames, they might as well just go ahead and do The Fall of the Mutants, E is for Extinction, Imperial, or Phalanx Covenant, any of which would be a better fit for the series. Or hell, even Age of Apocalypse if we must keep doing the time travel/alternate future shtick.
