To be more clear, I understood that she was a gymast, but couldn't see how a public utility's power switch was set up to require a gymnast to reach it.
The cutesy scientist, and the "I'll be training you. You have to do what I say" banter was gratuitous. Actually, though I have a thing for naughty librarian-types, the actress was hamming it up just a little too much. The marine/cop guy was pretty damned good. Aleph was a great character and the actress nailed her lines in a believable way. Miranda Zero: I would watch Michelle Forbes read the Yellow Pages. Slowly.
More than anything, I think I like the idea that "ordinary people are capable of extraordinary things." If I may indulge in melodramatic cheese, I believe in this. In the last U2 album that I enjoyed Bono sang, "I know you'd hit out, if you only knew who to hit." More than that, people /want/ their lives to have meaning. People /want/ to leave things better than they found them, and leave a better planet for their kids. Or, you know, "a" planet at least. That theme, and the way it was presented, moved me. If given an opportunity to serve under the enlightened autocracy of Miranda Zero, I might just know who to hit.
Thanks for the clarifications. I'll be picking up the comic.
