==MacGuffin== |
|||
''(working draft. I don't know where this should go, if anywhere)'' |
|||
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Hitchcock Alfred Hitchcock] popularized the term '''MacGuffin''' for a plot device used in stories like mysteries, suspense, and thrillers that helps to forward the story, but is not necessarily important in and of itself. Arguably, Heroes consists not of one plotline but several different plotlines simultaneously. In one plotline a noun can be very important but in another character's plotline, not so much. The MacGuffin in a standard plotline is the person, place or thing which motivates characters to meet and conflict with one another. Details about said MacGuffin may bog down a story, if the writer, characters, or even readers dwell too much on the minutiae. |
|||
For example, Dr. [[Chandra's journal]] contains details which may be of mild interest to the audience, but are not always necessary for the writer to detail in full. Enough is given to build in the viewer a sense of realism that it is in fact Chandra's journal, but we don't need to see every page. Sometimes in a given plotline, just the fact the journal exists may drive one character to behave a certain way, or may cause other characters to trash Chandra's apartment while Mohinder's away. It could be a prize that multiple characters want to glean information from. It might be something that multiple characters want to destroy. What's in the journal is not as important as what people will do to aquire it. |
|||
Other potential MacGuffins include [[The Algoritm]], the contents of [[The Genesis files]], [[The List]] of potential enhanced humans, discovering the identity of [[Patient Zero]], [[The map]], [[AWI's needle]], [[Hiro's sword]], [[Issac's paintings]], [[Linderman's money]], and through parts of storylines up to and including [[Homecoming]], the [[cheerleader]] referred to in "Save the Cheerleader Save the World" was even a MacGuffin. |

No I'm not referring to THAT Zach's mind. My online moniker predates the series, and its origins predate perhaps even Dekker's birth certificate. Back in the 1980s, I became loosely affiliated in something slackful, and back then it was fashionable to change your name. Although what happened back then seems like a lifetime ago, the name Zach sorta stuck. Some other places I've been known to frequent on the Web include MetaFilter, Whedonesque, and my own blog. I was a frequenter of 9th Wonders but got silenced there, so I'm looking for a new Heroes home. I try to go by ZachsMind pretty much wherever I go, but someone beat me to it at MySpace. I got a page there but it's lame.
I don't know what to do with this stuff
These are things that might someday fit in HeroesWiki and might not, but I'm putting them in here under my umbrella in hopes of working them in. If I'm never able to figure out how they work in, I'll continue tinkering with them here and at least people can point and laugh as I tinker. =)
