KDE on the NBC Show "Heroes"

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-isn't-that-nice-for-them dept.

Vesuv writes "The pilot episode of NBC's flagship drama for the 2006 fall season proudly features a laptop showing a KDE desktop and KDE applications such as Kopete and KMix running on Mandriva Linux. " The show itself looks to have potential for essentially an x-men knockoff. I mean, it ain't written by Sorkin (all hail jesus) so I'll give it a few more episodes to decide if all the angst is gonna kill me or not.

    Except that the premise is that the superpowers are the result of Human evolution, which is the basic premise of the X-Men. You also see similar story lines like the cheerleader doesn't want people to know she's a "freak." The Indian guy is not using Cerebro to find these guys, but you get the impression that he will find them.
