In hindsight I'm not really sure what I saw in the show. The faux X-men thing was interesting in a different setting than the comicy comic bookness of X-Men themselves, but it was supremely uninteresting. Milo Verimiga or whatever his name is just an annoying actor, Save the Cheerleader Save the world was kind of cringe. Ali Larter is... just bad. I don't think I've ever seen her in anything where she was more than passable. I guess being a teenage pseudo-weeb the Hiro arch was rather cool. The Sylar thing is kind of silly, but in a way I don't dislike. It's rather entertaining. I think the best thing about the show was Mohinder, and he got hit the hardest by the writer's strike, er "writing", whenever that was.

Overall, I think it was just a weird kind of live action super power television shows not being common at the time that made it more appealing than it should have been. I kind of had the same reaction to Charmed in the 90s when there were witches and demons and spells everywhere. It's shit, but where am I gonna get something like this that isn't shit?

Turns out, I just needed to find out that Buffy existed
