For those who watch Heroes
Oct. 7th, 2008 01:41 pmHas anyone else noticed that, as of the end of Season 2 of Heroes, sex=death for nonwhites?
As far as I noticed, the only non-white recurring characters who remained alive at the end of season 2 were ones who'd shown no sign of getting any nookie anywhere related to on-screen. The closest we get, I believe, is a look at an ex of Mohinder's, early in season 1. So he probably got some, at one point, but by the time we get him, he's stopped. None of the flashbacks go anywhere near that time in his life.
There's plenty of dead characters for all sorts of reasons. But the show seems to be particularly unkind to minorities who don't remain chaste.
I'm trying to decide how unhappy I'll be if I go read the webcomics and the trend is there, too. I know I'm going to be unhappy if the trend continues through season 3.
I really *like* this show. But this problem is VERY distracting!!
