Ugh. I'm kinda lamed out by the reveal that Linderman is just Adrian from Watchmen, but stupid, actually. It's the complete opposite of your reaction. It's only interesting if they /do something more/ with it than Moore already has, and at this moment I'm hard-pressed to see what that really will be. I like Heroes a lot -- it's saving grace is that it has /really/ interesting characterization that drives the majority of the plot. It's only when the plot is allowed to take over for the characterization that I think we really see that Heroes is kind of not coming up with its own material, but rather rehashing the classics of comics for an audience that is not necessarily familiar with Alan Moore.
