oyceterSo far, the writing isn't so great, and I'm already having problems with facial recognition because of all the blonde women, but the scope is so big that I still get excited. Also, there are people of color! There were lots in the commercials as well, which was nice.
Characters I like:
Hiro, aka Japanese space/time bender - I am still annoyed by just how many stereotypes of Japan the writers attempted to fit into two episodes, along with the continuing portrayal of Asian men as harmless geeks, but Hiro is just so earnest and charming and happy that I can't help but want to hug him
Mohinder, aka Indian genetics professor - He is hot. Also, he has the most interesting story so far, given that he is doing things rather than things happening to him
Characters I am on the fence about:
The rest of them. Although Claire theinvincible invulnerable cheerleader is sort of winning me over. I am very blah about the brothers.
I would also like to tell the writers that one of the first symptoms of major depressive disorder is in fact NOT delusions of grandeur culminating in suicide. In fact, delusions of grandeur is probably the exact opposite of one of the first symptoms of major depressive disorder. *rolls eyes*
And Hiro's salaryman friend doesn't sound like a native Japanese speaker, though the accent isn't that obvious. Hiro sounds very Japanese to me, but then, I probably can't tell. Also, that street shot of Tokyo didn't much look like Tokyo, imho.
Anyhow, I'll keep watching, just because there are things like the end of the world and people with superpowers, at least until I get too bored.
Spoilers for 1.01-1.02
Flying brothers, I still care nothing for you. You are boring and furthermore, you make depressed people look bad (becausethe writers your mother knows NOTHING about depression!). Also, the whole political campaign thing is stupid and heavy-handed. The whole both-of-you-can-fly thing doesn't make my heart soften and go awww, Politics Brother, truly you are nice deep down inside. In fact, it makes me roll my eyes, particularly because you do things like tamper with police records. Hello writers, plausibility?
Spooky blonde mom, you creep me out. But I am happy that you have a kid of color. Biracial? Adopted?
Claire, you unexpectedly charm me. I hope they do not go down the whole popularity-in-high-school thing with you. Also, your dad is really creepy.
Mohinder, you are hot like a hot thing. And you have a British accent! Guh. However, your next-door-neighbor is very annoying, and the fight with the exterminator was immensely stupid. And I guess your dad conveniently doesn't know how to turn off the answering machine after he picks up the phone.
Hiro, I am very sorry that the plot makes you do stupid things like pick up a gun at a crime scene after seeing a trail of blood. Also, I am annoyed that they have already killed off one minority character. Other than that, you are very cute and I like you a lot.
Eric Weiss LA cop guy, you are also sort of boring. However, I am very sorry that you have to be stupid so that the plot will work as well.
And finally, what is up with the braaaaaaiiiiins?
