Special abilities

If I could choose any special ability, I would definately go for telekinese. I think it must be awesome to move objects with your mind. If you're watching tv and you want to have another drink, you can just think about it and the drink appears in your hand. It would be so amazing to be able to do all sorts of things just by thinking of them. The power of telekinese is such a wide-ranging ability. It's possible to move objects, so why not moving your body from one place to another, just by thinking of that one particular place? So what I prefer is a mix of telekinese and freezing time.

Which ability would you prefer?

Intro

"Where does it come from? Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream?" (quote tv series)

These are the questions where it all begins. Life questions, philosophy, … At first it seems like another regular series, nothing particular. Until it becomes clear that the geneticist, Chandra Suresh, was actually on to something. He discovered that some ordinary people have special abilities. He had the intention to contact these people to prepare them for the major change in their lives and to make them understand this gift. At the beginning of the series his son, Mohinder, finds out his father was murdered. He wants to know what his father was into. Bit by bit he gets closer to the truth.

In the first episode we meet a few main characters. Some of them don’t want to acknowledge the fact they have ‘powers’. Others are really happy to be special. At the end of the season everything makes more sense.
