In-Class Writing Exercise, 11/20, part 2

Re: flying as the primal super-hero power:

The television series Heroes opens with a character dreaming of leaving his (forgive me) pedestrian world behind and being a person with great power, and what's the power he dreams of?

Flight.


Who can't see themselves in that?

This is why Heroes sucks - it started out so well, tapping this universal vein.  And now it keeps tromping over the same ground again and again.  Except for anything approaching a sense of wonder or magic.
