Behind the Eclipse, Week 21 (for The Hard Part)

Hero · 05-07-2007, 04:48 PM

Here's the latest from HEROES scribblers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite (teaser-y excerpt):

Quote:

Allright, here's the description from Yahoo! TV of tonight's episode, "The Hard Part." "Now knowing what is at stake if they fail in their mission, Hiro and Ando's determination to save the world is put to the test. Committed to the path, Nathan takes some surprising steps to guarantee his election. Jessica and D.L. begin to learn how their family fits into Linderman's plans. Thompson brings someone new into his company's fold. With more and more blood on his hands, Sylar visits his mom." Anything to add?

Remember back in September when everyone wondered how the season would end? It's the beginning of the end tonight. Just hang on and enjoy the ride…

Jason Fleiss asks, "So, in 'Five Years Gone,' we had a liar who stole the presidency and who was turning the collective grief over a national tragedy into widespread fear in order to withhold civil liberties and gain more power. I didn't realize 'Heroes' was a documentary. Seriously, though, were you trying to make as bold a political statement as you did, or was that just a coincidence?"

Hmmm....

Any possibilities of a Hiro action figure one day?

Yes. We are actively pursuing it (we hear of meetings at NBC every week), but have yet to lock down specifics. We'll let you know as soon as we do.

Right...I doubt Kring was trying to make any political statement there. Besides, I don't think Bush would ever try genocide.

I disagree. After thinking about what Leah was saying last week, the last two episodes have most definitely been making some political statements.

I have to agree with Mathsorcerer on this one. I do not think it was a coincidence.

Leah · 05-08-2007, 09:58 AM

I still stand by my original opinion that this show is making some very strong political statements.

HEY HEY HEY HEY NOW!! This show is about special people with amazing gifts... so lets just leave politics to the other hit TV dramas like Batlestar Galactica or something...

don't make me propose a bill to have separation of TV shows and Politics...

Mathsorcerer · 05-08-2007, 03:20 PM

When the writers of the show are introducing politics into the show, I'm afraid that the "don't get into politics" argument is moot.

Besides, I tried that already...and I'm still paying for it.
