Talk:Heroism
OK, I finally felt someone had to write the article. It is one of the most wanted on the site. Do we want to link back to every single act of heroism on the show, or is that just too much info? I feel it would serve little purpose, possibly with the exception of acts of heroism so grand they have an article completely of their own. Cuardin 12:44, 14 January 2007 (EST)
- Yes, we will want to link back to episodic and graphic novel recurrences of heroism. See Family, Moral ambiguity, Sacrifice, and Secrets and deception for other examples. If an article is still so grand that it would warrant it's own article, it would probably be an event (like train wreck). - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:01, 14 January 2007 (EST)
- Ok, I added all the occurences I could find. In order to keep the list reasonably long, I decided to only include events where the person performing the act actually took a risk for someone else. Claire running Brody into the wall wasn't an act of Heroism. She knew, with absolute certainity, that she would make it out of there alive and unharmed. Punching Jackie could have lead to her being suspended from school though, and thus it qualifies, even if it is kinda cheesy compared to the epicness of the saga as a whole. -- Cuardin 15:04, 14 January 2007 (EST)
- I think you did a great job finding some acts of heroism. I disagree that Claire punching Jackie (and Matt sucker-punching Tom) is heroism - I think that's moral ambiguity. If you need help looking for more examples of heroism, check out this page - it shows all the places that already have a "heroism" link (there's quite a few - the page is pretty well-linked already). - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:54, 14 January 2007 (EST)
