Heroes - Season Two
So, we've had episode two now in the UK, and Season Two isn't turning out half as bad as we'd been led to believe. Tim Cring, the creator, even apologised to fans for it's slow buildup, which is as bad an indictment as you can get.
I have a theory about this: people in America don't like subtitles.
There is a new mexican couple - they speak Spanish most of the time. Subtitled.
Hiro is in ancient Japan, and speaks Japanese most of the time. Subtitled.
There are a few new Irish characters...oh wait, they're just talking in appalling accents. Subtitles missing.
I think the shows have been very good. Why do people die when the mexican twins are separated? Who is the spooky flying boy? When is Peter going to remember who he is? And if Clare keeps cutting off toes, could she take all the cast-off little piggies to market in a bag?
I have to say though, that I'm not a huge fan of the subtitles myself - this is science fiction after all, can't we have a character whose superpower is to make all Heroes understand each other in English. That - or a Babelfish
