This hasn't happend to me, but my friend had a great dream about Heroes! She was one of the Heroes, but with no ability. Hiro wasn't there, so it was like she was in his place, & she had his sword! They all went to face Sylar. It was like this:

Sylar: I want you
Her: What?
Sylar: I want your power.
Her: I don't have a power.
Sylar: Yes you do.
Her: No I don't!

At some point, he then says he loves her. He then says something about not being bad & in fact there are two sides to Sylar (like Niki/Jessica, but she is still alive, so he didn't take her power.) She then gets taken away to Isaac's place & they are actually doing 'it' (eww.)

All the heroes come to save her & they are shocked that she is with Sylar. There are now two Sylars.

Peter: Oh great, now there's two of 'em.
Her: No, one is good.

Both Sylars fight each other, & the bad one is winning & pretends to be the good one, but she can see that he isn't the good one, because I think then she kisses the good one, & her power is then released, which is the Phoenix (she explained to me that a Phoenix needs love, & this is when it happens.) Peter is still not sure about her being with Sylar. She then destroyes Sylar, & that's it!

I got confused when I read that... had to read it twice biggrin.gif

When you argue over what power you'd have.

Seconded, and even more so when you argue with yourself.

TwiceStruck: You argue with yourself? Now that's just silly.

The Narrator: Dude? You do it too.

TwiceStruck: What? I do not...I hate arguing...much less with myself.

The Narrator: I'm just saying...you tend to argue with me.

TwiceStruck: Shut up! I like Jessica ok...doesn't mean I have to be just like her.

The Narrator: Whatever. (mutters under breath) you are.

TwiceStruck: Haven't I killed you off like 5 times already?

The Narrator: Ever see Fight Club? Yeah, same problem you have.

Sorry inside joke to a select few on here....couldn't resist.

Passionate is when one of your friends from work is out at the mall with her family over the holiday weekend, sees a Heroes calendar in a store and she immediately thinks of you.

You know you're obsessed with Heroes when...

1. Your cat vanishes from the living room and appears at his bowl in the kitchen moments later.

2. You walk through the door but don't remember it being open.

3. You come home to find paw print shaped burns in the carpet from your other cat.

4. You answer the phone and it's you.

5. One minute you're all 'boy next door' and the next your asking the mailman,"What would I want with your brain?".

6. You spend 20 minutes in line at the bakery counter only to get to the front of the line and the lady says,"Oh, I didn't see you standing there".

7. You wake up after an all nighter to find a paint brush in one hand and in the other, a painting of a glowing paw coming right at you.

8. While at work a co-worker begins to cry and suddenly you feel like dying.

9. Your boss actually takes one of your suggestions.

10. You're having a nightmare about fighting your best friend and when he grabs you to wake you up it's Parkman.

11. While at home you look at your empty hands, then the lit candle and wonder where the matches are.

12. You wake up in the hospital with a radioactive paw shaped burn on your cheek.

its not an easy addiction to overcome... just this morning I... whipped out the season1 DVD's...shame on me! I cant ever go a few days without having withdrawals.

eh well
not an addiction I particularly want to overcome quite yet wink.gif

You're not alone Cato...I watched a few Season 1's today... and I am proud of my addiction. The withdrawals help me stay on track biggrin.gif



If you're that addicted you should test your knowledge on my quiz... it's in F&G and should be a good challenge for you to help you ease the pain withdrawal can bring. It's probably way down on page three or four by now- it's called The Ultimate Heroes quiz and starts with Volume 1 through Volume 1.9 with 150 questions of freaky fan fun! lol OK- now I sound like a salesman....but I just thought you might enjoy it especially if you've seen the show a few times. I don't deny my addiction....I put it out there for all the world to take part in! laugh.gif

I love my ferret Harry more than the other two (I still love them a lot but Harry is a teddy bear)

I've had a few. Usually, Claude is involved. In one I was waiting for Claude with Peter (This was before "Godsend" had aired) and in another I was with DL, Niki, Micah, and Molly and a few others and the Company was after us and I was supposed to meet up with Claude later. Those were the G-PG rated ones.

When you've been watching Lost longer than Heroes, but anytime someone says "Claire" you automatically think of Claire Bennet instead of Claire Littleton (I had to look up her last name! See?).

When in science study the structure of DNA and everytime someone says double helix you and your friend start drawing with your finger in the hair the helix symbol twice.

When you go a shop and they have a replica of Hiro's sword and you beg the people in the shop to let you hold it, even though you know your underage.

When you start talking to people about it who really are not interested.. and you realise but just carry on because you enjoy talking about it.

When you go to laser quest and for your names you and your friends all have names out of heroes.

When you have a project to do, and you choose to do about evolution... just to bring heroes into it.

Guilty! biggrin.gif I was trying to get my friend to watch it, but she admits that she likes Hiro because he's funny & would probably just watch clips of him, but not Heroes, sadly...sad.gif

- When you are inspired to draw some characters & a comic.

This is me & yes, I've attempted to draw a quickish realistic Sylar, but it wasn't that good. It looks good as a person, but it doesn't look like him that much. I drew him twice. I did a quick doodle of cartoon Heroes faces of Sylar, Hiro, Claire & Nathan, & they look quite good, so I should try drawing a comic! biggrin.gif

QUOTE (MaroK @ Dec 24 2007, 05:29 PM) *
Is there a standard list of symptoms because I've been told several times by my friends that I am addicted to heroes.
At first they thought it was normal; just a boy watching a popular television show. Then I the season finished but my craving for heroes continued. So I read all the Graphic Novels, and started going on the forum sites.
Eventually I started rewatching episodes, spending way too much time on heroes related sites and even bringing up heroes in everyday conversation. It went to the extent where my friend challenged me to not speak of Heroes for a whole day... I lost within half an hour.
Now they are starting to worry about me but I assure them I'm fine.
I told them I'm not addicted.
They responding by telling me that's what an addict would say.
I still don't think I'm "addicted" despite the the evidence my friends and family have against me. So how do you really know when you are obsessed? Is there like a certain moment? Or do you gradually fall deeper and deeper into it?
