The Heroes of NBC
	What I'm talking about is NBC's new science-fiction serial drama that features people with super-powers. No, it's not "X-men" either, and definitely not anything like "The 4400", but whatever it is, it looks great. I was suspicious at first, reading the plot outline and thinking "hey, they did that already", but I was completely stunned after seeing the first few episodes, legally, on a popular ...
