Across The Airwaves Episode 123 (Standard) Heroic Origins!

Hey ATA Listeners, do you know what Bruce Wayne's parents being murdered, Frodo inheriting The One Ring and Luke Skywalker discovering he is a Jedi  all have in common? Well, they are defined as heroic origins, moments where fictional characters start down the path of becoming who they are destined to be, which seemed to be explored quite a bit on this week of television as Game of Thrones had Jamie Lannister reveal the true origins behind his title of Kingslayer, Once upon a Time gave more explanation to the origin of Snow White's hatred towards The Evil Queen, Castle re–explored the history of Rick and Kate's romance, Supernatural had the Angel Metatron explain the origins behind the Angel/Demon Tablets to the Winchesters, Psych almost had Shawn tell The Chief that the origins of his psychic ability is a little white lie, Person of Interest delivered flashbacks giving the origins of Finch using the machine to help innocent people and Doctor Who had Clara discover the origins of her doppelgängers who exist throughout history. Even the sitcoms  got in on exploring character's secret origins as Modern Family's Phil Dunphy clashed with the super villain who made him a realtor Gil Thorpe, The Big Bang Theory had Sheldon meet the children's television star that inspired him to be a scientist and Community had Abed cleverly line up all of its main characters histories to tell the Study Group's heroic origins of how they got to Greendale in the format of the movie Unbreakable, which also inspired this week's closing podcast music. However, that's not all we've got on this podcast fit for a hero's origin as Andy joins Nico to discuss the heart racing Season Finale of The Following, Woo joins Andy to discuss Glee, Michael stops by to talk Revolution and Nico brings it home with me jumping in briefly to discuss the Midseason Premiere of Warehouse 13, Defiance, New Girl, Arrow, How I Met Your Mother and much more. Also the great Woo S. Kim shares with you guys some voicemails on How I Met Your Mother and the Bones Season Finale where the menacing serial killer Christopher Pelant returned.
