Because I was musing on Linaery's reply to my question about how much of the Heroes BroYay subtext is intentional and her pointing me in the fact that Tim Kring apparently borrowed the Romance structure for many of the family relationships in season one. And how Milo & Adrian might have taken that ball and run with it.
Wonder how it all went down? Let's watch...

Tim Kring to Milo & Adrian:

'So, basically, we will be borrowing the structure of a romance arc for your storylines- over the season you both will get to know each other, discover how much you mean to each other. Then, at the end when you both fly (possibly) to your deaths, well lads- there won't be a dry eye in the house." (Kring wanders over to tell Ali Larter about the super exciting character he has lined up for her.)

Adrian: Well Milo, I don't know about you, but I think that's all a bit thin and limited. I think it needs something else. Something extra. Mind you, I think there's elements and layers that we, as good actors can bring to the surface which will add texture amd depth  to this treatment.

Milo: I agree. I think the audience is always entitled to get the fullest appreciation of the hidden depths of any role - what's your plan?

Adrian:  You ever watch Supernatural? I want it so those guys only wish they could be as gay as us.

Milo: Awesome!

Seriously, I would SO love to be a fly on the wall of their early rehearsals :)

Another pretty good episode, all in all.  Nathan scenes aplenty again, so the show is now spoiling me after being so stingy with his screentime in the opening episodes - yay!!  

There's a throwaway panel in my favourite comic, Promethea by Alan Moore that I believe I am slowly but surely turning into. It depicts a nurse carrying on a detailed work conversation about an admitted patient (the eponymous heroine in fact) whilst all the while her thoughts are simply going:
 "..is on. Only two more days before Ally McBeal is on. Only two more days...". 
Well scratch Ally McBeal for Heroes and you have pretty much had my thoughts for the last several days. And Huzzah! Normal service is resumed after last week's less than stellar performance.  Lots of stuff actuallyhappening this week  to *gasp* move along the plot so let's plough on! Spoilers follow.

Conclusions from my rations experiments as I haven't updated in a million years.
