They changed it to that in season 3, with no explanation. Probably because the writers couldn’t be bothered to actually watch the damn show to see what powers he’d had.
In season 1, he could use the powers of anyone he’d been near, but he had to be able to summon up the emotions that person had made him feel.
… Is that Dean Cain?
Heroes.
The first half of the first season was so good. The second half was ok. Every subsequent season gave the impression that it was handed off to a different writer every week, and that those writers hated each other.
They changed the rules constantly, except when they just ignored the rules.
The main character collects new powers as the show goes on, but he never uses them. He just completely forgets that he has them. Kind of like the time he completely forgets he has a girlfriend and never mourns her, mentions her, or even acknowledges that he lost her somewhere in an alternate timeline or something.
That’s not much better than the villain. The entire first season is about stopping him from doing a specific thing, because a time traveler has foreseen that it’ll result in the world ending. Season two opens with him doing that thing, and everything is fine. He has at least three heel-face turns, which are immediately undone when the next writer is up to bat.
One good character undergoes a terrible transformation and murders a bunch of people, but the next season he’s suddenly good and everyone forgot. Again.
Constant retcons. This character is actually that character’s secret brother! This one lady who died was actually triplets! It adds nothing to the story and makes no sense, but there it is!
(I’m not joking either. Secret triplets.)
They did a reboot of the show a few years later and did the exact same thing.
You’re correct. There are things that don’t connect, but there’s not like a ton of internal contradictions.
I like the way they list those things in the title. Like which one is the most expensive: the hospital, the submarine garage, or fifteen gaming PCs?
I heard the opposite, that separating them ripens them quicker. In my experience this appears to be true.
So OneDrive actually saved me a ton of time this year at work. We implemented it at the end of last year, and we had a lot of problems with it at first.
So usually something would go wrong, and it was my job to dig deep and figure out what caused it. But for the first half of this year, I could just say, “I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure it’s OneDrive,” and then I could relax and do something else.
I’m sure god wouldn’t let that happen. Let’s just give it a try for a few hundred years.
I don’t know. Can’t we just stigmatize it to the point where their only recourse is to turn to faith and try to live a life of celibacy and denial? They can all become priests or something. That’ll help them with the internalized guilt while they’re at it!
Someday I want to write a story about a group of time travelers who travel to the past to try and stop Donald Trump from destroying America.
Every attempt fails. They catch him on tape making fun of handicapped people. They bring forth credible rape allegations. They help ensure he’s convicted of 34 felonies. They make sure he’s clearly implicated in his attempted insurrection. But every attempt fails.
And every time it’s like, “We’ve got the ‘grab them by the pussy’ tape! Surely this will be it.” Then they get back to their own time and nothing has changed.
Lego.
There’s something about it that’s just so satisfying to me. Putting every piece in exactly its right place. I got into it as a kid, kept it up until college.
A few years ago I started getting into it again. At first it was just the Marvel sets, but then I got a couple of castle ones. I still love it as much as I did back then, except now I can share it with my kids.
First of all, those shooters were right wing nutjobs. So leftist propaganda was definitely not involved.
Virtually all political violence in America is done by rightwing extremists. That’s a fact that’s been true for 45 years. You can look it up.
If you sincerely believed that those shootings were caused by the political left, then you need to fact check your news sources and check your own gullibility, because you got tricked.
Second of all, I meant a threat to our society, democracy, and our way of life. I didn’t mean a threat to individual fascists.
If tankies ever become significant, I’ll be right here arguing against them. But they’re not significant. That’s another fascist lie.
Oh I totally agree. They’re a crime against god and man. Especially when I just want a fucking Coke.
Fun fact about actual cloacas: when chickens breed it’s called a “cloacal kiss”, and it’s exactly what it sounds like.
Must be a regional difference or something, because I recently had Wendy’s and was impressed with how good their fries have gotten. Crispy and flavorful.
Meanwhile I haven’t had a bite or sip of anything from McDonald’s that wasn’t absolute shit in like 20 years. I never loved McDonald’s (I’m big on texture), but at least they used to have the best fries and sodas. Then they removed the beef tallow from the fries, making them the actual worst fast food fries available, and they replaced their soda fountains with Freestyle soda cloacas.
I already wasn’t eating their meat because I like meat to be chewable, so that reduced the number of items I’ll order from McDonald’s to zero.
In today’s political climate, Leftist propaganda isn’t a threat. It’s irrelevant.
I say this as someone who firmly believes in capitalism and limited government.
Fascism is the only threat that matters right now.
I agree with what you said, but I’m like 5% worried you might be referring to “leftist propaganda”.
There’s still plenty to like out there.
I dislike exploitative games as much as anyone else, but I just don’t play them. But that’s not really what I’m talking about, since that’s a legitimate complaint.
Movies being recycled year over year isn’t a thing.
Books being censored is an example of conservatives hating things.
Some people hate things as a hobby. I say that a lot, and I’m really serious.
Some people play video games, watch movies, or read books, and other people just hate stuff. That’s their whole thing. They seek it out. They doom scroll until they find something to hate, and then they latch onto it and spread that hate wherever they can. Most of them don’t even realize they’re doing it.
I’ve seen so many good things fall apart because of this internet hate machine. It’s sad.
Well, nobody’s perfect.
I’m just saying, her heroes may be unrealistic, but her villains are a prescient depiction of MAGA. So it’s strange to me when people try to equate Rand with MAGA.
