John's thread about "Who Wants To Be A Superhero?" - a bizarre reality TV show - reminded me about an upcoming scripted drama on NBC called "Heroes." It's about everyday people who have superpowers.
Okay, yes, it smells a bit like "The 4400." And more than a few folks are calling it "the next 'Lost.'" (Heck, look at the main image on the "Heroes" site... from a distance, it actually looks like a "Lost" poster.) Of course, the latter impression may come from, again, the purposefully "international" mix of castmembers. And while "superheroes among us" would be the elevator pitch, the creators insist it's more than that.
I gotta admit, I'm curious. The promo videos are pretty memorable. Even better, NBC is going to put the pilot out for free on iTunes in September. Anyone else looking forward to this?
