As if we hadn’t had enough Bowie lyrics for one week, along comes Heroes with another set for its latest, low-key episode Turn and Face The Strange.
Spoilers and more after the jump.

This week, Ali Larter is painting a man. No, literally painting a man.
Huh.
Why’s she doing that again?
Ah, to raise money for charity. That almost makes sense. But which charity?
Is she doing it prevent violence against women, again? Not this time. Normally she recites from The Vagina Monologues for that.
Is she doing it to strengthen community resources for women, or help children with serious medical conditions? Not this time, although she has been known to draw things to help kids with epilepsy.
No, she was doing it to help foster a community spirit and responsibility in children as part of a mural painting exercise. Which apparently requires painting on people. Oh wait, that’s her fiancé. Fair enough.

I’m getting an eerie sense of déjà vu here. ABC’s newest ‘romantic dramedy’ (yes, that is a genre, apparently), Cupid, is about a man who claims to be the Roman god of love, Cupid, sent to Earth by the other gods to give 100 couples true love before he can return. Sounds kind of original, doesn’t it?
I’ll tell you why I’m getting déjà vu. For one thing, not more than half a year ago, The CW was running Valentine in which Eros/Cupid along with Aphrodite and a bunch of the other Greek gods were out and about trying to bring people together in true love to avoid their own extinction. Okay, that died a death on the grounds of scheduling, not being very good, Jaime Murray, etc, but Cupid really isn’t that different.
But the other big déjà vu score comes from the fact this is a remake. There’s already been a Cupid – a mere 10 years ago – on the same network, with the same writer and the same scripts, just a different cast.
You’ve got to love it, haven’t you?
Therapy is a process. Therapy takes work. Apparently, it also involves time travel. But is it ever truly over?
With Being Erica – aka Quantum Leap for girls – let’s hope not.
