Zoe ,'Serenity'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
even then, save Hiro, we don't have anyone outside the general area of the Americas.
These days, mebbe we need heroes the most.
Mohinder is pretty enough for me, and has a lovely enough speaking voice that I'm content to let him be exposition man and window dressing for the time being.
Me too. But not for long.
Well, the explosion is in New York. Just as I'm sure there are Americans with powers we haven't seen, I can understand the concentration here.
but as far as we know, he knows about it
I'm not sure what that means.
ita- the little boy with the Syler-esque name? He seemed pretty down with the fact that people reach out to him in dreams, I suppose.
I thought that comment was somehow ruling him out of the running of people discovering their powers. So we didn't get to see him learn--does that make a difference to the geographic spread?
hmmm maybe it's that only the US keeps the kind of genetic information that would allow them to be tracked?
I wouldn't rule him out, no. Whether they're just discovering or have already mastered, doesn't erase the fact that they have them.
Promo Guy seems to be promising that we'll learn the Why and Why Now of it, perhaps that will have some bearing on this.
Also wish I could remember what the map with the pins looked like, but I'm sure it was marked all over. We only just happen to be seeing those whose stories will intersect and have a bearing on the shows arc, which, yeah, right now has its 'endgame' in NYC. I do think that it would annoy me more to have a representative for as many cultures as possible than to have a largely N.A. cast who don't have to learn how to speak English.

I'm not sure what that means.Yeah, that sounded a lot more clear in my head. Sorry. I mean, okay, aside from people over here, we have Hiro (a guy in Japan) and Mohinder (a guy in India) but as far as we know, Mohinder isn't actually a superhero, he just knows about the superheros.

Good point. I've been cringing about the "all over the world" since the pilot, and forgot about the little dream boy from the couple of weeks.

Good points, all. I was just uncomfortable with the "all over the world," wording, when it's so America-centric.
Perhaps whatever factor suddenly made these powers appear is unique to America.
But it suddenly happened to Hiro, in Japan.
Hiro was actively trying to...activate his, though.
