Lydia and Heroes

My kids and I have been watching Heroes over the past two months.  It is so much better than the television I watched in Puerto Rico growing up (Kojak, Petrocelli, Mannix, Hawaii 5-0, Luis Vigoreaux Presenta, etc.).  We are enjoying the complex characterization (Sylar, especially) and the ambiguous morality of everyone, as they constantly struggle with  sacrificing the short term or narrow good for the greater good.  And we like Mr. Muggles.

But now it is almost over, and the ambiguously villain-like Samuel has a tattooed Lydia as his sidekick, and of course an earlier generation like me knows immediately why she is called Lydia….
