Oh, well, if you're passing the crack pipe this way....

This morning I recieved an e-mail from heidi8 with a link from Greg Beeman's blog that contains the original Heroes pilot script. You know, the one where Nathan and Peter are twins.

I'll give you a moment.

Now, yes, I did write a little story about this idea, but my twins were identical (you can chose who you want them to look like) and they certainly weren't named Ethan and Harrison Campbell. I'll give you another moment to process this.

And. (Yes, there is an 'and' Virginia).

Truly, I didn't think the Petrellis/Campbells could be any gayer than what you have on TV, but reading the pilot and knowing now what I know and having written it already, I gotta say, "If they had made them twins, reality might have exploded." BroYay to the Twin-Factor would be a vortex of hotassery. I didn't think I would need to revisit the twin-verse. Now? I'm not so sure.

Petrellis for the win, y'all. Also, I hope everyone read Graphic Novel #28 from the NBC website too, because it has *looks around furtively* Baby!Nathan. Yeah. I know.

ETA: There are some really interesting changes from the pilot script to the pilot itself, FYI. For example: Zach used to be Zoe. *pauses* OMG! Harrison calls their mom a crack whore! And they had their own language! FTW!

Sorry, I had the wrong link up for the pilot, the right one is up now!

I try. It keeps the voices quiet.

And this is why we get on so well.

Dude, it's okay.

You ever notice how Nathan has told Peter he loves him twice -- albeit when he's unconscious and can't hear him -- but has Peter EVER told Nathan he loves him? I think not. How is everybody on Peter's side again? *stomps off in a huff*

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Because if you stand on Peter's side you get a really good view of Nathan, of course!

I would be all THEN WRITE IT, but YOU HAVE.

OKAY COULD THIS BE ANY BETTER?!!?

Well, except for the part where we missed out on Petrellitwincest. *pout*

But seriously: I LOVE YOU?!!?!???!?! That was sooo cute.

But I laughed really hard at the: "He's actually fucking flying" part of the script. I wish all stage directions in plays and movies and TV were like that. ^_^

Thank you for making my day!

Thanks for posting the link to the pilot episode. Ever since I read your story I've wondered what they planned for the brothers in the pilot.

The BroYay was off the chart when they were the Campbell twins. Who knew it could they could be even gayer. Go figure.

Holy shit. I am bringing this on the plane with me. Except maybe it's not the best thing to read in public.

Thanks for the link to the pilot script, I printed it out and will enjoy that on the way home on the bus.

Aw, thanks.

I dunno if I see a distance, IMO there hasn't been enough interaction. He died. He came back. They talked. The week after was 'five years gone' and then we had Monday night, which was well short of any Petrelli brothers interaction, but that's down to the script. Put them together and have them be awkward, then I'll bite.

The script was comedy gold, wasn't it? I would never trade in Nathan and Peter, but uh, Ethan and Harrison are pretty awesome.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Dude, you will plotz. Wait until you get to the last page.

I was shocked I have to say.

I think it was a flying superhero. A flying superhero and a Navy jet. I nearly plotzed.
