[Ultimate Houde]

It is Lost, I doubt that the two Chinese brothers on Heroes are lovers.

 

[ShaggyMarco]

No, but Hiro learned english from a lover-the diner girl who could never forget, Charlie; Just as Sun learned english from the man she was in love with-who wasn't her husband.

And they are Japanese best friends, not Chinese brothers.

Being a big TV nerd and fan of both, I'll break it down:

With a diverse and large cast of people with hidden secrets being watched by a hidden orginization with an agenda we know nothing about.

Lost: cast includes African, American, Australian, British, Asian, and Hispanic main characters, on an Island, being observed by the mysterious Others and the Dharma Initiative.

Heroes: cast includes African-American, Hispanic, White, Indian, and Japanese characters. Some mysterious organization is capturing, monotoring, and experimenting on these individuals.

This show is written regularly by a creative team that includes major comic book writers.

Lost: J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof

This show regularly loses what we believe to be main characters to the big dirt nap.

This show has a main character in the medical profession. This character doubts his purpose in life.

I never realized all of the parallels. Spooky!

I think the point of this thread was to point out the spooky parallels. Neat!

 

[Victor Von Doom]

See....and I thought it might've been another stupid "guessing game" in the wrong forum.


But I stand corrected.



This also makes me doubt Heroes' awesomeness.

 

[Ultimate Houde]

This also makes me doubt Heroes' awesomeness.

Funny, crappy storylines makes me doubt Heroes' awesomeness.

:shock: Wow...that's pretty awesome. I thought this was just a guessing game with a really obvious answer(LOST).

Nice work, leather_w0lf.:rockon:

Thank you.

Shaggy, I appreciate your translation. I came up with this in a THC influenced moment when I made the Claire connection. Then I did an internet search to see if I wasn't alone in my thoughts. Lots of hits. Google "lost heroes" and see what you find.

Now read this, courtesy of Doc Jensen at EW.com:

"A couple of weeks ago, I shared with you my theory that the exec producer of Heroes, Tim Kring, and the exec producer of Lost, Damon Lindelof, are in a secret creative alliance, and that their respective stories share a common backstory mythology. To wit: The Hanso Foundation/The Dharma Initiative is the agency responsible for the outbreak of super-powered humans in Heroes.

In response to the theory, Kring, who happens to be good friends with Lindelof, revealed that the two men have indeed discussed the idea of creating some kind of creative synergy between the two shows, although the reality of Lost and Heroes being on separate, competing networks makes that somewhat complicated if not impossible.

I recently had the chance to run all of this by Lindelof. For the record, when I asked him if it was true that he and Kring had discussed the possibility of a Heroes/Lost team-up, this was his reaction:

''Totally true. And if Hiro can teleport ANYWHERE, wouldn't YOU watch him team up with Hurley to find the rest of that four-toed statue?''

My answer: YES!"

Now wouldn't that rock if it could go down?

The beauty of the comic book is that you can do these kind of cross-over.

But knowing Lindoff, they'd get to 2 issues and then quit. lol.

 

[Dr.Strangefate]

NBC would't crossover with ABC. Period.

And I would never, ever want them to.

 

[leather_w0lf]

Note I said COMIC BOOK.

If NBC and ABC were to do a crossover, it would be ground breaking.

Like Ozzfest being free this year. Ground f'n breaking.

Network TV has to do something or it's gonna die like the CD.
