TV. heroes

it has been quite interesting to watch as the show 'heroes' begins to resemble the story of the 'watchmen' comic book. watchmen, if you are unaware, is considered to be one of the greatest comic book stories ever written. and now heroes is ripping it off.
here is the basic story of watchmen: a bunch of heroes are not appreciated by the public. there is one hero who used to fight crime, but got disenfranchised by the whole thing because he felt like they werent making a difference. he wanted to get to the root cause of the crime and criminals: hatred. so he left the superhero business and entered into the business world. he amassed a fortune. the whole time though, he has been working on getting rid of the root problem. when his plan is revealed it turns out that he wants to destroy new york city, the reason being is that if there were a big enough catastrophe it would bring everyone together and force them to work through their hatred and instead show love for those around them. in the comic ozymandias is the mastermind behind the whole thing, and now we have found out that the mastermind behind the exact same plot on 'heroes' is the mysterious figure of linderman (played by malcom mcdowell).
i wonder what allen moore, the writer of watchmen, thinks of all this plagiarism...
