Why I love Heroes
Oct. 5th, 2007 01:22 am"You know, death is the one thing that connects us all. Reminds us that what's really important is who we've touched, how much we've given. Makes us realise that we have to be good to one another."
- Peter Petrelli, Heroes 1x23 'How to Stop an Exploding Man'
There are a thousand reasons I fell in love with Season One of Heroes. But at its heart:
Because it's about ordinary people - those with *and* without extraordinary abilities - who are heroes. People with doubts and fears and weaknesses, who nonetheless find the courage to step up and the compassion to reach out, and risk themselves to help others.
Because it's full of hope and optimism. Because it celebrates the best of the human spirit, at a time when many other shows have a bleak and nihilistic attitude. Because in the end, it is love that saves the day.
