SCIENCE!

Hey, hey! Hey kid! Remember all those times I complained about how atrociously bad the science talk in Heroes was?

THIS POST FIXES IT.

Okay, well, it doesn't change the fact that Mohinder wouldn't know genetics if the subject came and bit him his bony yet attractive ass, but it makes science work out of Heroes, and I'm a happy person.

I'm reminded a bit of my theory that kryptonite on Smallville was psycho-reactive, as an explanation of why it could give so many different powers to different people and yet not cause havoc with local plant and animal life. Except that this has more, y'know, science.

Speaking of which, I always thought the green T-shirt on this page was perfect for you.

.........that post fixes things? I'll say up front that the bio stuff I don't know well enough to say much, but the physics stuff is seriously lacking on many different levels. Also the limitation(s) taken on by assuming all abilities are either TK or EM (as they define it) based really is limiting the psionic spectrum. As I've stated before, Heroes uses a japanese model of psionics (as supported by Sylar's ability) that goes well outside the western notions of what falls under the psionic spectrum.
