Fortunately the strange futuristic evolutionary tales of “Heroes” were filling the gap nicely.

    Similar to the genetically-modified characters of Dark Angel, the mutants of X-men, and also the returned “altered” people in the world of the 4400. This one concerns people who are developing new skills and talents .. the next step in human evolution. In the future, everyone will be Superman, Spidergirl .. Catwoman; able to use their own special powers for good .. or evil.

    If i could have a superpower, i would definitely be able to fly. Save so much hassle at airports, and cut down on carbon footprint too.

    Or maybe radiate peace and love from my heart into the world around me, so that people around me experience balance and a deep sense of personal safety. That would be cool.

    Give me comment please:
    What would your superhuman power be?

    .

    PS: when i came to Phnom Penh, all i really wanted to see was the rest of Season One. Fortunately Katie discovered the series and shared my fascination. We got through the whole 23 episodes in 3 days!! How outrageously self-indulgent.

    Just a few loose threads in the plot at the end of it all ..
