Last night on Heroes, the plot line involving Dr. Suresh seemed awfully familiar. In fact, it appeared to be stolen from... er, a tribute to a character from one of our favorite science-fiction films.
So who did he remind us of?
Brundlefly, of course. After injecting himself with a superhero serum, the idealistic scientist went into Jeff Goldblum overdrive: He suddenly had a huge amount of strength and stamina, could climb up walls, became a dynamo in bed, enjoyed walking around with his shirt off, and ended up picking gross skin growths off his body. Actor Sendhil Ramamurthy even looked like Goldblum in The Fly.
Was this an intentional shout-out? We're guessing yes.
More important, will the show continue down this path? If so, it won't be pretty.
