I don’t know I think that the series is going to be a really good one, it has already proven very popular in north america now it is set to be aired worldwide.

But I can see some of your points on fear and the way NBC has picked this time out of all to bring in the new heroes!.

Nice site by the way.

[...] People I know who swear by the whole “dream suggestion” racket have given me exercises to practice. You know, the kinds of things where you lay back on your bed and you tense up your feet, then your calves, then your knees, then work all the way up to your stomach and chest and finally your head. By the time you’ve tensed up your entire body, you’re so relaxed that any suggestion you make to your now-pliable mind will usually stick. In the past, I’ve been able to use this technique to dream about (a) saving a bus of tourists seconds before they plunge to their death above the Grand Canyon, (b) how I was really related to famous country singer (and botox-user) Kenny Rogers, (c) playing hide n’ go seek with Lionel Richie, (d) beating up Albert Einstein in one of those “two men enter, one man leave” Thunderdome-like cage matches, and (e) how I could eat three packets of crackers in less than a minute without drinking any water whatsoever.

all that being said and mostly agreed with by me.

even heroes have heroes. so do heroes not need heroes? can they really go on heroing without a kind hand from others once in a decade or sweeps week or whichever comes first?

just wonderin’.

I enjoyed listening to Tina as I read this post. Nice touch.

It took me back to Sunday TV of my childhood when my dad would take ownership of the only television in our humble home by watching such things that I was not at all interested in such as star trek, kung fu movies and of course, quite frequently, reruns of horrible movies such as Mad Max. I can also clearly envision the video that went with this song which reminds me of the days when MTV still actually played music videos.

Now to the point, I don’t like the idea of the rally cry “THUNDERDOME” mostly because it reminds me of Mel Gibson and these days, that’s not such a pleasant person to recall when you’re already somewhat frightened. You know what I’m sayin?

Are you saying we are our own heroes? Bleahhhhh! Where is Kelly Clarkson’s songwriter?

If we are our own heroes, do we need to wear tights?

beyond all blunderdrone!

As reductio ad absurdums go, it may hold some truth, that in most of our mundane trails, we do not really need another Hero…

but I’m certain that some of us might greatly benefit with a far better one

You go Tina! Going to be a little contraversial here, and no doubt others have been before me. Ficticious heroes no, but real life ones yes. Everyone has someone who has guided them, helped a little, or just been there. I think having people like that inspires us to be better, or just to help out someone else, when the time comes. As for the ficticious (god that spelling still doesn’t look right) heroes, well I’ll take Batman, in that suit, but only for one thing! LOL. Great post

I thought about typing out some of the lyrics to “Wind Beneath My Wings” in an attempt at a series of really bad puns but decided I’d rather not chance you being served notice for having copyrighted lyrics on your blog. So, in lieu of that comment I shall simply leave this placeholder.

Susan - I’d never try to help anyone. And yeah, I have tons of fears. No heroism here.
