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

This morning I recieved an e-mail from [livejournal.com profile] 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!

Did you see the interview I just linked to in which Cristina Rose speculates on Nathan's conception?

Dude. Linderman is so Petrelli!Daddy. He can heal. He can bring -- hey, maybe he brought Petrelli!Daddy back from the dead!

That would be awesome! I am all excited to learn about the fucked up dynamics of the older Petrellis. And you know how I said before that I hated Mama Petrelli. Well, I take it back after that interview. The three of them were so cute together. I now fully support Lindermen + Mama Petrelli + Nathan + totally awesome evilness.

Also, you obviously put the wrong link in your post to make me laugh out loud at work and cheer up my day. There can be no bad in Kermit Adrian.

Love Mama Petrelli! Long live Mama Petrelli! I need a Bad Mama Jama icon featuring Mama Petrelli. Also, as awesome as Kermit!Adrian is, I bet you'd like to see the last page of the pilot script where Ethan (Peter) tells Harrison (Nathan) that he loves him.

Oh good god! That just wins.

And um... reading that after looking at Kermit Nathan made me sort of imagine that scene with muppet Nathan and Peter and it was the most adorable and wrong thing ever. And I need help. And to never think of the words Kermit and Nathan together ever again.

I just can't get the image of Muppet Peter with Muppet Emo bangs flailing about with his little muppet hands and little muppet feet as he plummets to the ground.

I try. It keeps the voices quiet.

And this is why we get on so well.
