Today is the first day of season 2. Yes, we really like this show. Then I got to thinking – if I could have 1 of their super powers, which one would I want?
The artist who can draw the future? Nah. Sure if I could suddenly paint, it would be a miracle but I don’t want to know the future. Surprises are more fun. Besides, what’s the point in knowing what’s going to happen unless you’re able to change it? That sounds like Gary from Early Edition. Now there was a good TV show. And Tru Calling.
The indestructible cheerleader? Nope, I just can’t imagine being a cheerleader. And besides, what good is it being indestructible? So you can die over and over again? No, thank you. I’ll pass on that one.
The guy who can pass through matter? I don’t see any real practical use for that other than helping people who locked themselves out of their car or house. Well unless you’re a thief. Then something like that would come in pretty handy.
The flying politician? I think the capability to fly would be pretty cool but, other than saving on airfare, would it really be much use? Sure you can fly instead of driving but you’d also have to have super strength so that you can bring others with you and who wants to fly if it’s too hot, too cold or raining out?
How about a mind reading cop? Okay, there is just no way I want to be able to hear everyone’s thoughts. Sure it might be interesting if you had the ability to turn it on & off but I don’t think Matt can do that. And there would no doubt be an awful lot of things I wouldn’t want to hear.
Obviously all those super powers might be just as much of a liability as an asset so I guess I’ll just settle for being ordinary.
Ya know, Monk, since this is 2007, I’ll say I’m with you–none of those superpowers seem like anything I would really like to be able to do. However, harken back to about 1965 and think nose wiggle a la Samantha on Bewitched. Now that is a power I can get behind. The first thing I would do is wiggle my nose and erase most of my a$$
! Just think if you could wiggle your nose and rectify the Bronx situation; you could come here and go to the Farmer’s Market with me! I’ve never watched Heroes, but I got a little excited over the “Early Edition” mention–Kyle Chandler, ya know! 
. While I was at it, I think I would wiggle my nose and put Kyle Chandler right here with me; after I finished with my body. Yeah, baby! 
When I was reading your post all I could think about was Tabitha and Samantha. I don’t think any of their superpowers would suit me unless they had super housecleaning powers
