Anyone watch this show? I liked the premiere episode. I think it's gonna be a good show.

If you're in the US you can watch it here. http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/

i think it will be pretty cool. to be honest though, I was a little bored with the first episode

I thought the premier was good. I'm sure it's going to pick up in the next few weeks as more characters are introduced and we see more gruesome shots of the cheerleader with mangles body parts.

I was a fan definaetly, but I'm only tuning into NBC monday nights only because of Studio 60

I enjoyed Studio 60 too.

I think it looks like crap, although I wasn't repelled by it. It's sort of like X-Men meets Indiana Jones with pretty tweeners. Might get good, but it's not my kind of show, aside from the fact that I always wanted to be able to fly and self-heal.

Heroes is going to be great. It is attempting to, stylistically, mimic Lost. I like the idea of a television show that will, seemingly, birth a comic universe. Hopefully it will not limit itself to a one deminsional apocalyptic idea as alluded to in the premiere.

I caught the rerun last night on USA (who is apparently rerunning all of NBC's new shows on latenight) and thought it was kind of funny. The hero archtypes are hilarious.

One guy has to get completly high to apparently see the future through paintings.

And why does the asian guy have to look constipated to use his power.

f_uck me for having class until 9 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays

Last night's episode was very slow until the end. I loved the cliffhanger. looks like they are laying the ground work for some interesting television. Next week apparently it all comes together and there is some serious superhuman mutant power action. Should be good times.

That show is awesome. The cliffhanger was nuts.

sci fi is rebroadcasting heroes at 6 pm central fridays if that helps.

I was reading up on the show and found out that the first two episodes were origionally planned as a two hour season premiere but they broke them apart for whatever reason. Some stuff I read about a few of the characters powers...

I'm getting kind of tired of the blonde chippy constantly being in her cheer outfit. Okay already, I get it, she's a cheerleader. stop beating me over the head with it. So far I'd have to say the Japanese guy is the most likable character, he's just so sure that his talents are a good thing and he's got such a positive outlook.

I'm trying to figure out who they found dead in the second episode in the painters apt. I don't think it was him.

I thought it was him but he appeared in the show later. I DVR'ed it so I need to watch it again this weekend.

I'm warming up to this, partly because it's not as "clean" and "pretty" as I thought it was going to be.

I'm really liking the Japanese story arc and that cheerleader is one smoking hot chick.

I think that it was the painter but it happened in the future which can be changed; for instance, the Japanese guy brought along his friend to the U.S. whereas in the "first" future, he didn't go.

What was with the black guy at the bar which caused the mind reader to keel over? Was it because the guy had no thoughts to read?

Wonder where the cheerleader is, who brought her there and who "opened" her up.

Really good show and writing so far.

Are you kidding? That cheerleader only needs to appear in her outfit



Yeah, it's slwo, but picking up steam. First episode Iw as like...meh...second, ok, maybe you've got me. Third, I'm like the painter hooked on heroin.


Meaning I shoot up after the episode to try and see if I can paint the next episode tow atch it.




Yeah, I know I was reaching, but I thought it sounded good in my head

The black guy was exposed as another character in a TV guide spoiler. His powers were not though, so his role is unknown at this point.

NBC's site for the graphic novels that accompany the show

Most interesting thing I found in them is where Hiro got his name, and a little of his family history.

The coroner performing the autopsy, I assumed.

It wasn't really a mystery, lol.

So I thought.

This show got me hooked and all i watch is ESPN. The black guy ("Sylo" i think) u guys are talking about is the guy who might have killed the professor who wrote the book they all have. The son of the professor broke into sylo's apartment with that chick and they were figuring **** out and they think he has all the answers atleast thats what i got. I think he has stronger powers than everyone else thats why he broke down the cop who hears ****.

The guy who made the cop point the gun at herself was white.

The first couple of episodes got me somewhat interested in the show. I've come to the conclusion that this show has massive potential to be one of the best shows ever. The writing of the story is genuinely developing the characters and making them genuine people. The "good guys" aren't so goody goody as to the point of causing nausea, and the "bad guys" aren't bad to the point of commiting acts for no purpose other than just to be evil. Also, I like how some characters are still floating in the good guy or bad guy gray area. Furthermore, they seem to be developing a well thought out mythology and storyline.

Basically, I'm hooked.

I was already watching the show every week, but I didn't have that sense of "I can't friggin wait to see what happens next week" until after last nights episode.

I'm completely hooked, I just hope the ratings are good enough to keep it on the air. I hate getting sucked into shows that don't make it (See also: Over There, Firefly, Smith) and getting left by the side of the road when they're cancelled.

Seeing Hiro speaking perfect English in his future ninja garb in the subway was wild, absolutely made the series for me so far. I really hope this show sticks, it's great.

Ya i been hooked since the first episode too, and it was interesting to see who was gonna be on the train, but they stepped it up a notch with the stripper and her split personality! its getting really good now

Exactly how I felt. It's like the show could really just take off at any second, like a roller coaster and we're getting ready to go over the first big hill.

I like the show but would like to see the storyline actually do something instead of the basic stuff its been doing for 4 weeks. Its almost like they have an idea where they want to get to by the end of season one and it isn't very far inthe story line so we have to sit and wait for that with nothing happening but filling epoisdes in between.

I really like the show but lets get it going somewhere.

First thing I thought when I saw him speaking perfect English was, "I wonder how many times the bomb is going to go off before they get it right?" I'm sure they aren't going to do it like Groundhog Day, but there's no way he can speak English that well after a couple of weeks. But then the question is, why would he go back in time that far (assuming it's far after they save the world so he could learn English). It boggles my mind is all.

So based on the previews: Save the Cheerleader, save the world


Looks like Hiro will be the main guy tonight

So, the cheerleaders Dad and the black guy are changing people into "hero's"?

He said "hollow him out" about the QB...maybe he's a super now???

So true I hope with you that NBC doesn't cut the show and leave us blueballed and left to dry. Everything is sorta making sense but leading to more questions, just like that Shakur guy said or whatever (East Indian). Anyways tonights episode was wild it seems though as if we are getting closer to finding out which characters belong where.

no, I think the black guy's power is to control a person's mind. So when the Cheerleader's dad told him to hollow him out, he meant make him forget everything about himself.



Heroes has been picked up for another season already.

Preview of upcoming episodes from the marathon they had earlier this week.

Hiro cracks me up... WAFFLES!!!

No, her dad is the bad guy. And the black guy erases people's mind. I think he's trying to keep all the heroes from developing too much.

Oh, and if people didn't think about this...Peter's power is having the power of which ever hero he is with.



Yeah, thought I was trying to think too much into it.

That's pretty obvious I thought, lol.

Wasn't to my wife or someone who was talking about it with me at work

Thanks! Another season coming up sweet.



Hmm, though it seems as Claire's dad is a villian could it be possible that the writers are just pulling our legs and that Claire's father is actually a good guy? Like before the Cop wasn't able to freely read peoples mind, now after his confrontation with the black guy [African-American] and the father his power of mind reading has seemed to been unleashed. My speculation is that he might be the "Xavier" of all the Heros.

I don't wanna be rude... but...ummm... that's a shame.





I really don't think so.

Although thinking a bit further about that. I think the possibilty of him not being bad could be true. Although I don't think I would go as far as saying he is the Xavier. I think it might be more of a middle ground type of thing. Hard to say, cause we don't have much info, but I see what you're saying.

Not sure I agree about the cop though... I think his power was developing itself pretty well. Every time we saw him, it was getting stronger. As with most of them. But the confusing thing is when Claire's dad told the black guy to "Clean him out".... and while he forgot where he was when he got home... he didn't get fully messed up like he did to the quarterback. He still had powers and memories outside of that specific time period.

I dunno... good show though.

Maybe if we started a character list with what powers they seem to have it would help people follow a little better, cause it seems like some missed the boat.

good idea.

TV Guide interview with Tim Kring (show creator)

I'm actually starting to get that impression as well, he's had the opportunity to wipe out a few of the Heroes already (Matt and Claire) and he didn't do it, which at very least means he isn't 100% evil trying to kill them.

There's more to that guy than just being "the guy that's after them".

Heroes is the highest rated new show.



Latest comic is up and shows DL escaping from prison saying he was framed and that he is trying to save Niki and Micah.

I couldn't get those comics to work.

There is a brief summary of them up on the Wikipedia link I posted earlier.

Im pretty sure Micah Sanders is a genius. She refers to him like that a lot. Not that that is a superpower but he is a boy and it may develop into some form of telepathy or mind control.

This show is really developing well and seems to be moving rather quickly now after a slow start. Seems like the writers have made room for a lot more than has been alluded to so far. We are in NY which seems to be where most comic universe's begin or centralize, but i wouldnt be suprised to see a farm boy from kansas show up with some unknown powers. as the show grows, it will hopefully pull in more 'special' characters from all over. It seems Hiro is the only non-New Yorker.

The cleerleader is from Texas, Niki, DL and Micah are from Vegas, the cop is from LA.
