TV commentary:
Powers- Heh, I must've been living under a rock when it came to info about this. Like I remembered they first attempted this a while ago with the T-Mobile girl and Alona Tal. Heh, its funny those are the two I remember, and not Jason Patric and the actress chick with the awful laugh in Hot Fuzz who gets decapitated along with the director of that terrible Romeo and Juliet adaptation for the town, even though the latter two play the principal roles. Then that went nowhere, and I guess I heard something about it being rebooted and coming to Playstation, but I knew nothing else about it.
Like I totally missed that it was starring the dude from District 9, and that there was all this controversy when they hired a black actress for Deena Pilgrim. (Wait, did they also complain about doing that for Zora too?) And weird, Kelsi from High School Musical plays Callista, and she still looks like JB even though she's like 28 now.
Also, its been a long time since I read the comics, and I wasn't sure if they rebooted the series at some point, but this show differs a lot from what I remember. Like there are some familiar elements, but others, not so much. Mostly concerning Zora and Callista. I could've sworn Zora was someone he knew back in the day. But here she was like some new person he just met.
And I don't recall Callista sucking cock for power, given she was like way underage in the comics. But I also thought the series started with Retro Girl being dead, and Callista inheriting her powers. This first ep, Retro Girl is still alive, and Callista thinks she's a Power who hasn't awakened yet, and she was confident her power set would be like Retro Girl's when they did manifest. Hence her screwing that one guy, to see if that would jumpstart it. Because in this universe, sucking off a Power may temporarily give you powers.
Presumably actual sex would work too, they acted like it was due to the fluid exchange. That is not something I remember in the comics at all. It sounds like something they added to be more edgy and risque.
