Full Version: Science and Heroes
Anyone with any sort of intelligence isn't actually going to take the science from a science fiction show as fact. They're being idiots by totally over reacting - it's called sci-fi, not sci-fact.
What I found funny in an article about the science of the show, they were way off on how many people are fans of Heroes:
thousands?

Too true. It's more like millions
I bet all of the people they talked to were just 24 fans pretending to be heroes fans. Probably just mad we are going to kill them in ratings.

Only problem is, the science doesn't fit, said Larry Thompson, a spokesman for the National Human Genome Research Institute, which was founded as an earlier agency to help carry out the Human Genome Project.
"The Human Genome Project found lots of genetic variation, but nothing that makes anybody super," said Thompson, who hadn't seen the show and wasn't consulted on its creation, but was amused by the premise.

Maybe I'm being cynical, but that statement is actually as newsworthy as much of the stuff the Baltimore Sun publishes, and is at least factual if something of a "well, duh!" statement.
The science in a TV show about superheroes is flawed? No way! Now I've gotta get my science learnings from X-Men! 
The science doesn't fit? WTF? It is a tv show, nothing has to make sense. And that thing where he says "If you go to Hollywood for scientific understanding, you become the blind following the blind" who watches fictional movies to learn science? stupid stupid people. We do not watch Heroes for science!
All I know now is that Kramer is a name given to Wackos.
