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!

Oh! Did you see the list of who the producers are recommending for Emmy noms (http://goldderbyforums.latimes.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1106078764/m/53610293/p/1)?

Heroes (Santiago Cabrera - "Genesis")
Heroes (Jack Coleman - "Company Man")
Heroes (Noah Gray-Cabey - "The Fix")
Heroes (Greg Grunberg - "Company Man")
Heroes (Masi Oka - "Five Years Gone")
Heroes (Adrian Pasdar - episode ??)
Heroes (Sendhil Ramamurthy - episode ??)
Heroes (Leonard Roberts - "The Fix")
Heroes (Milo Ventimiglia - "The Fallout")

Twins, baby. TWINS.

[antheia.livejournal.com]

the thought is perilous for my work ethic, man.

O_o


your powers of prescience are eerie. (Maybe Sylar is on his way to eat your brain for them!)

Jack Coleman and Adrian Pasdar, for sure. I can't speak for Milo, because my insane Peter/Milo love prevents me from being objective (although I do believe that he is underrated.)

But Leonard Roberts? Really?

I think Sendhil and Milo, rather than being really great actors per se, are just exactly right for their respective roles, in terms of atmosphere and screen presence, if you know what I mean. I just think they did an excellent job with casting overall.

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

[slodwick.livejournal.com]

That... that link was not a script. *blinks*

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

WHAT IS THAT LINK AND WHY DID SHE DO THAT TO US?

[1407graymalkin.livejournal.com]

Gah!? Twin!? They deprived us of Petrellitwincest?!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

I think the link to the pilot is wrong - isn't it http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/Heroes.pdf ?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Wherein Harrison (the Nathan that was) says, "You're my better half! The nicest guy on the planet!"?
Yeah, guess they did. But if they'd been twins we wouldn't have had Pasdar or we wouldn't have had Ventimiglia. And that would've made the show less wonderful. So it's an okay trade, isn't it?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

I thin kit's interesting which episodes they chose for everyone. Obviously, Jack gets Company Man, and they obviously can't choose for Adrian, but Fallout for Milo? I would've thought they'd choose one of the ones with Chris Eccleston or Parasite. Hmmm.

[lyra-sena.livejournal.com]

You are completely adorable.

[1407graymalkin.livejournal.com]

they could have been non-identical. That would have been fine. I would have lived. I don't know if I'll ever be able to look Kring in the face if I get to meet him. I might just end up crying.

You know, the one where Nathan and Peter are twins.
I totally thought of your story!!

(Zoe!)

[slodwick.livejournal.com]

Well, that link is hilarious, but... it was UNEXPECTED. And HUGE on my work screen. :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Sorry. My bad. (http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/Heroes.pdf)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, wrong link. My bad! (http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/Heroes.pdf)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

TWINS.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I've seen it before, alas it didn't do anything for me.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

LOL. No, sweetie, I knew the idea existed when I wrote the story, it's what inspired it. What I didn't know was that on the last page of the pilot Ethan (Peter) tells Harrison (Nathan) that he loves him.

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