Heroes or "The Fly", Dr Mohinder Suresh or Dr Seth Brundle  

Posted by slash2k01




El Gato himself is off practising his insult swordfighting, so I decided to come and talk about something that I noticed last night.

#Heroes Spoiler warning look away now#

I watched the premier of Heroes last night and I was not really impressed but one thing that I did find rather odd.........

I know that the previous series' have had numerous references to star trek, but the whole story with Mohinder so far this season right down to the way the scenes looked and felt was a dead ringer for the sci-fi classic "The Fly".

1. Mohinder decides to try out some un-tested research with himself as the guinea pig, just like "The Fly"

2. Mohinder uses new found strength to disable local thug, just like "The Fly"

3. Now super agile, strong and horny (oh and crazy thirsty for milk?) Mohinder shows off to a unsuspecting female and the proceeds to bed her, just like "The Fly"

and finally

4. skin and presumably body parts begin to grossly peel away from mohinder and you guessed it,
JUST LIKE THE FLY!

Homage or blatant rip-off?

tell us what you think.

Just wanted to share that with you.

omg i noticed that too! i was cringing everytime it came on.. i didnt like it tbh.. but i love heroes so i will forgive them :) haha fab season premier.. just wanted to see if anyone else thought the same as me about the hole 'The Fly' thing.. i hope mohinder dusnt turn into a fly.. i would cry. :

I liked it, but I won't if they continue to rip it of entirely. So after this nice homage... Uluru is coming to rip Earth in two pieces ;)

wait, what? from where?

I am confident that the producers were quite intentionally ripping off The Fly, but I would guess that Mohinder's journey will not be identical - and of course he will become, at least temporarily, a "Villain." For obvious reason, he will at some point start working on a "cure" as Maya wishes.

yea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atw44cnvwaw

i can't wait to see Mohinder turn into this!

I thought it was a great homage (to the fly) as long as he ends up turning into some other creature... It's not like the fly was the first doctor turned hero/villain character or character who turned hideous as a result of his power (Beast in XMen, The Lizard/Doc Connors in Spiderman and The Thing in Fantastic Four).

Interesting to see a total lack of mohinder fly this week.?!

I agree! turning exactly like the fly! mutating and everything! the only difference is this is not the cause from a teleporting device.
