Heroes

[buxomia]

Not only that, but with the whole cheerleader story where she comes forward...they would have known who it was immediately since her uniform was ruined. She would have had to order a new one.

[buxomia]

Okay....it's the middle of the second episode. Where the hell is the cop's story?!

[tokenuser]

Haven't started watching it... waiting for the recording to get ahead a little bit so we can skip commercials.

Yes, I'm the Tivo-er Hollywood hates.Ditto. Who watches ads anymore? Actually, I need to watch last weeks pilot episode first (recorded it off SciFi last Friday - just in case any misses it on Monday nights, it gets a repeat later in the week).

The cheerleader getting tackled and breaking her neck has to be one of the most stupid things I've ever seen. It would have been ok if she broke her arm or something, but how the **** could that have snapped her neck around. God dammit I'm starting to not like this show already.

WTF is the Japanese dude doing picking up the gun. Retard foreigners!

Is the Indian guy's little girlfriend the chick from Brick?

[psbp516]

I think this show is a whore.

It love you long time. Give it a bit, it's a newborn.

Great show imho*

[dromeonyourchest]

This show is f u c king awesome! The frozen guy with the top of his head chopped off and the chick nailed to the stair way was gross and cool at the same time.

[psbp516]

I liked the last two scenes and the next episode looks like it has promise. I take back what I said.

[dromeonyourchest]

I can already predict that season 2 of this show is going to be lame because everyone is going to have their powers and all the cool discovery stuff will be done with. However this season 1 is the best thing on TV right now. I'm pretty sick of comedy right now, its getting about as bad as reality tv with them shoving it in our faces.

[buxomia]

Yeah I'm glad they start tying the stories together next episode.

[diela]

Yeah that was the chick from Brick, I think shes gonna turn out to be evil. But I like this show alot, but it feels weird knowing that on November 8th the artist guy will get killed and all that. But they will probably be able to avert it before it happens.

Well duh! Someone knows about it now, so the future is practically guaranteed to be different than the one Hiro just experienced.

See, this is where a strong background in Star Trek watching pays off... temporal mechanics theory.

[ali_pinto]

That is the girl from Brick.

[psbp516]

I was wondering the exact same thing. Maybe we all have the asian guys power!!!

Anyway...I though the artist chopped off his hand in the last episode. Was that a dillusion or a dream. I'm very confused.

[diela]

Okay, someone please tell me why the posts are doing the time-warp? My replies are ending up above the posts I'm replying to.

If you want to throw some time/space continuum jokes in here, I won't hold it against you.

[psbp516]

yeah this is weird

[briangilmore]

I agree with psb, this show is a whore. The dialogue seems really forced and corny at times, very inauthentic. Not like a whedon or strazcinsky comic. It's almost like a Paul Haggis movie.

[toastmstrgeneral]

You guys are crazy, this show is great, I'v loved every second of it. It's not your standard fare for tv and it's nice to see tv in the last few years has gotten more and more cinematic with bigger budgets that allow them to make min-movies each week, that's what this feels like to me. Aspects like the mother pinned to the wall with scissors and the dude's head sliced open would have never flown in previous years and it's nice to see that they're willing to push the limit a little more and have different type shows than your standard CSI/law and order and can do these types of show's with one long arc.

The dialouge may not be the greatest, but the creative team behind the show is what keeps me watching with the way they handle shooting the show. Things like how the screen wipes when the japanese dude teleports to new york or his subtitles, and to a lesser extent the S figure with the notches representing the heroes dna/mutaion that kept re-appearing in the newest episode.

Give it some time and you may like it more, it seems like the original pilot was made a couple years ago and after it was picked up they gave it the star treatment and added more writers and Jeph Loeb on as a producer. The jump from the pilot to the 2nd episode was huge and I can only see this getting better as time goes by.

[proglodyte]

I like the show so far. My only complaint is that this weeks show seemed to be too short or to go by too fast. Either there were a lot of commercials or it was so good that it left me wanting more. All I know is I was wishing it was on for 2 hours after it went off.

[the-nugget]

Yah, it seemed that Heroes pulled a Lost and crambed this whole episode w/ commercials. Nevertheless, it's a very very good show. Nothing can top Lost, tho. ;-)

[absalonprieto]

Yep, the show is pretty good. though something seems lacking in it. I agree, i wish it woulda gone on for 2 hours.(at least the premiere should of.) the show has got some good potential, lets hope it doesnt get cancelled mid-season.

[guano]

I was pretty unimpressed with the pilot, but I liked this one a little better. I can see it improving with every new episode. Some things were kind of dumb like the cheerleader (who is hawt) twisting her neck around, and the stripper (who is also hawt) finding the skeleton buried 1 inch below the ground, but the twist at the end with Hiro made up for everything.

During the part with the cop did anyone else half expect Mulder and Scully to walk into the house?

[buxomia]

Hiro makes everything alllll better. The whole show should just be about him. I LOVE that he found his comic, what a great additive.

[atomusk]

yes it was very very awesome ep, there was a couple of things that felt cheesy to me, but its all good






\m/ Hiro is the shit \m/

I felt it was out of chracter for Hiro to pick up the gun. I mean, he's the guy that many geeks watching are going to identify with. So I'm into the episode, into the scene, and then he goes and does something stupid. That pulled me out of the moment and the show.

[drwar]

Living in Australia, we're yet to recieve this series on television, so we have to get via other means.

Unfortunately this has meant that I've missed the first episode, having to satisfy myself with what the second episode offered up.

It wasn't too hard to piece together what was going on, with what now seems to be the compulsory recap at the start of shows in this similar vein (Lost, Prison Break, Jericho, etc). So I think I have a rough idea of what is going on.

That said, I'll agree with the calls that it doesn't look to promising. Hiro's story is the one that has really gotten me interested at the moment, with the dilema at the very end spicing it up quite a bit.

Niki's looks promising too. But other than that, not too much in the way of gripping storytelling. Hopefully it will get better =D

[tokenuser]

I watched the pilot and second episode last night.

It looks like it has promise, but I think its problem at the moment is that they are trying to establish to many characters, and dropping hints that somehow they are all connected.

I'll give it a couple of weeks to settle down, but suspect that we will be finding out people have all sort of mutant pow... HEY! ... is some lame X-Men knockoff??

[buxomia]

It's basically trying to be Lost in Manhattan. They got a bit over their heads but I think they'll pull it together.

[diela]

Hiro makes everything alllll better. The whole show should just be about him. I LOVE that he found his comic, what a great additive.

Did anyone notice if he took the comic with him when he wooooshed back to his present? He was being interrogated so perhaps not... but taking it back would be a nice sub-plot.

Well, in japan they don't really have guns. The japanese military are probably the only people in japan with access to guns. It was probably Hiro's first time ever seeing a gun in real life. And I would like to think he picked up the gun just in case the guy was still there. I found it more unbelievable that like 12 cops showed up like 2 seconds after Hiro picked up the gun.

Just because he's Japanese and naive doesn't make him stupid. You see blood all over the floor and a gun next to it, you're dumb enough to put your prints on it? I'm with point, completely took me out of the story when I was so in the moment.

[toastmstrgeneral]

I'd cut the dude a little slack, he's a geek which obviously isn't usually in these situations often and scared out of his mind after seeing a gun lying their next to a pool of blood. Hell, I 'd probably do the same thing in his position, having just teleported half way across the world and finding a comic book detailing your life. The dude obviously wasn't thinking straight.

While Hiro has watched a lot of Star Trek, I wonder if they have CSI? I mean come ON!

I too was secretly hoping the bad guy was still there, JUST so Hiro picking up the gun wouldn't look so ****ing stupid. But nooooo....

[psbp516]

I have a question. Is the cheerleader's dad a mutant too? I have the feeling that he was the guy who called the professor and also the guy that is chopping everyones heads off and stealing their brains. He is probably part of the team of evil mutants (the guys that froze the dude chopped his head off, and pinned the girl against the wall). And maybe the team of evil mutants are working for/with the cheerleader's dad, or maybe the dad (and team) is working for the main supervillian who blew up new york.
I want to see mutant vrs mutant fights by the end of the series.

CSI:Tokyo? (I wonder which Who song they'd use for that soundtrack)
Law & Order: Akihabra?
Ginza Law?
Narita Vice?

I think Hiro is a great character ... it's shaping up to be a great series, but this character development is killing me.

[dromeonyourchest]

The Cheerleaders superpower is pretty horrible. She is like a super weak version of Wolverine without the metal bones, animalisitic agility, and kick ass claws.

that is totally what i thought. also, was it isaac on the floor with his head cut open? it was his studio. and did anyone else notice that when the indian guy inserted the flash drive on his computer, the swoosh patterns the text was making, was also the patterns on the paintings when hiro went to isaac's?

and can someone please explain what the chick-from-final-destinations' power is?

So you like saying mutant right? The cheeleaders adopted father is I beleive a government agent who who was in the professors apartment at the beginning of ep 1 and was chasing the son later on in the same episode. My theory is somehow the goverment gave him this super powered child (much like supreme power) to try and give her a normal childhood, he then somehow convinced the professor to give him powers by messing with his adopted daughter genes and he has now become a serial killer. But thats just one of many theories I have. I also beleive the cop and the girl from Brick are villians.

[kevin_lau]

Yeah I noticed the patterns also, same as the paintings. That was definitely Isaac, Siler or whoever stole his brains or something. Ali Larter's power seems like her shadow being her guardian angel. I enjoy her character the most however I'm not really into the idea that her shadow can provide her with new items, I'd prefer if she only had work done for her.

Like when fly boy (Peter Petrelli) was doodling in the hospital bed ... there was the pattern in the top right corner of his notepad.

And the pool vaccum did a similar pattern when the cop who hears too much (what was his name?) was outside talking to the feds.

I'd need to go back, but I'd swear it was in the opening scenes in India as well ...

[funnelfish]

I'm starting to like the show more and more. The special FX are kind of lame though. Did anyone else notice how bad and waxy the artists corpse was? And was it me, or was his hand missing again? Still, I like where the Siler thing could go...

[soundwave]

do you think they will wear costumes and shit?

the cheerleader is my fav..i can see her wearing a mask now that she was almost caught.

how bad ass will it be if her and her dad throw down?

i think it is just him and not a whole team of bad guys killing ppl.

[tokenuser]

I am waiting for the costumes, and the stupid XMen names ...

Floater, Reflection, Painter (or Stoner ... can't figure that one out), Super Hiro (it just fits), Wishbone, Microfoan ... its gotta happen sooner or later.

But thats just one of many theories I have. I also beleive the cop and the girl from Brick are villians.

I don't think the cop character played by Greg Grunberg will turn out to be a villian. I also am still not sure if the cheerleaders father has powers. If he does have powers I don't think that he is also the serial killer Cyrus or Cylus (something like that). I think whoever killed the family of that little girl that the cop found, there were 2 or maybe three of them. One who was strong enough to lift that lady up and stab her into the stair rails. One who has ice powers maybe. And then maybe a third who is stealing the brains, who would also be the aforementioned serial killer. Could this guy be getting his power from eating super powers brains? Or are the brains being stolen for experimentation? Anyway, I definitely think the cheerleaders dad is connected with the killer or killers in some way.

I too thought that in the early previews there was something about the painter cutting off his hand, though this was never revealed in the show.

[slowmtnsilhouette]

i saw this too, but i think that its something that is supposed to happen later on...
and if the dead isaac is missing his brain, then does that mean that the cylus is going after people with powers? which could also mean that the little girl,at the crime scene, may have powers since the father-type figure was also missing his brain... any thoughts?

[xceptiona1]

Most shows Im happy to watch once a week, however certain shows BSG, KyleXY, and now Heros I really want to watch the full story all at once. They are more like movies or somthing.

My favorite character so far is Hiro, the Japanese guy; He's a riot.

You guys, the cheerleader's father is Silus or whatever his name is. Isn't that a bit obvious? I mean, I never predict things and that feels spelled out to me.

[dromeonyourchest]

You guys, the cheerleader's father is Silus or whatever his name is. Isn't that a bit obvious? I mean, I never predict things and that feels spelled out to me.

Or maybe thats a little to obvious, I think he is a chrony of Silus or he killed the cheerleaders parents and took her in just to see if she will get mutant powers too.

I think for sure Cylus is going after people with powers. It is possible that the powers are genetic seeing as the two brothers can both fly, so the little girl may or may not have powers. I think if the killer is just going after the brains of the heroes then her dad must have had powers. But also think of the stripper and her kid. That kid hasn't revealed any powers, unless you count the fact he is wicked smart. And it could very well be I guess...

[point5o]

I guess I'm the only one that doesn't think Claire's dad has powers, and I don't want him to have powers(but if the turns out that he's super-powered, I'll be fine with it). Being the ordinary government agent villain is a good angle for him.


and can someone please explain what the chick-from-final-destinations' power is?

She has mulitple versions of herself which is different from copies of herself sharing one mind and acting as one(that's what I thought before I saw the show and just reading about it). Her dark half(or third, or fourth, etc)/mirror universe version(goatee Ali Larter...ugh) seems to know how to take out 3(or4?) guys in mere seconds.

Anyway, it was a cool reveal seeing the symbol in the DNA sequence.

Think of her as a sort of Phoenix........right?

I don't but you can :) The more I think about it...if she really has multiple personalities then her power would be those personalities physically able to manifest themselves as another individual. Man, I love how a good show makes you overthink shit :D

[jonathanlondon]

I'm with you. Not a clue what they're talking about.

It was in the DNA sequence on the harddrive they found in the lizard cage and the next shot was an overhead of the pool at the murder scene in L.A. The stuff floating in the pool made the same symbol.

I know it was in a few more places too but I'd have to rewatch Episode 1.

[kevmann16]

Wouldn't it be cool if the symbol was the outline of the tool that killer is using to cut the head off with, it seems to be the right shape at least from what I can remember.

Any way I spotted on the front hiro's comic book as well.

[kevmann16]

Isn't cool that the hiros watch said October 2nd the date the show airred, its pretty corny but I love it when shows seem to be happening in real time, I hope it is because then November 8th episode will be epic with the city blowing up and stuff

That sort of thing never happened in Australia - because our rating period and the US ones were out of sync (basically summer is cricket and tennis on TV, and not the US fall/autumn lineup).

I get a kick out of seeing the dates line up as well. CSI do it fairly regularly too. I also like the fact the season seem to line up - you get xmas scenes at xmas, and not in the midle of July.

People on the Delphi Heroes forum have been calling it a "swoosh". It's like a division symbol turned on end, if memory serves, with an extra bit hanging off each end. When Hiro walked into the artist's loft, one of the larger paintings had it as the main focus, I'll try to see if I can grab a screenshot.

[drwar]

I have a feeling it will end up being the symbol for some organisation or pehaps some double helix component or something similar.

One thing I found funny about the jump into the future was the fact that fly boy's big brother had won the election and it was all over the front page of the paper.

On the original pilot that was available for bit torrent he cut off his hand and they made this obvious zooming in on the toolbox after he chained himself up and the hand later after it was cut off. On the Genisis pilot they played on tv though, they recut the episode so you never see him having cut it off or missing a hand. Instead of the cut of him staring at the toolbox, they replace it so it seems like he's staring at a painting of the fire they're showing on tv. I don't know why they switched it, whether it was an FCC thing showing dismembered hands on tv or if when they picked it up and started writing the show they thought he may need his hand later on.

Thank you! I had forgotten about downloading that pilot off bittorrents a couple of weeks before it aired. That's where I saw the hand cutting off bit. I doubt it was an FCC thing because they showed dead people with the top of their craniums cut off in the 2nd episode. It must have been that they decided not to have the guy lose his hand.

[diela]

Okay... two screenshots of the swoosh from "Don't Look Back" Interesting how Peter (the younger flying Wallenda brother) drew this picture *before* his Wil E. Coyote routine on the roof. Perhaps anyone who draws is a bit precognitive? Hmmmm....

And

Regarding the artist's hand, I'm thinking they must have decided he needed to keep it. They very clearly showed him using both hands during his scene with the chick whose father was dying.

damn its on the same time as prison break... ahh sweet torrent (not the actual .torrent file, so hopefully this is ok)

seems like a pretty good show. I liked the first two episodes so far, looking forward to see where it is going. I guess i just really like the concept of it, x-men, but its a tv series (obviously).

She was more or less horizontal. I don't think her body was curved.

I took this screenshot and brightened it, it seems close both hands pointing down and the slight curve to the body not sure if it is meant to be it still.

So far I'm enjoying this show. Can't wait to see how they start to use their powers more and more.

[cyrinix]

Definitely digging the show...can't wait until they start showing off their powers

[bcool]

i think maybe someone in hollywood read brian woods 'demo', but it looks like this is going to take things way further. It's cool that it got good ratings as well:

"Very good start for Heroes - 14.29M viewers, and a strong 6.0 in Adults 18-49, good enough for #1 in the demo for the evening."

so maybe it'll actually be around for a while.

[icedsoul]

for ****s sake... couldn't guys have told me before how cool this series is...

nice nice nice... I want mooooooore!!!


and see... there is no need to excommini... excommuni... ex... ah crap... to throw me out....

[darksydeavenger]

I'm going to give the show a few episodes, despite the pilot being absolute crap. The characters were completely unconvincing and they tried to introduce too many elements into the first episode, which in turn diluted the meaning of any of it. And the brothers flying was the goofiest shit I've ever seen.

Like I said, I'm going to give it a few episodes, but I'm not expecting much given what I've seen so far. :eek:

[point5o]

The Symbol--it's a helix, with specific amino sites marked, representing the mutations in human DNA.

My friend heard a rumor about Peter's power. His real power may be power absorbtion. He can fly but anyone remember a certain stick picture drawing?

dude, she totally did that b/c she knew that it wouldn't hurt and that it would grow back. that was the cool part. that part was actually the best part of the episode for me, when her hand is all growing back haha.

I thought that was way janky when she took her hand out of the pipe dripping with blood, held it behind he back for a few seconds and... Walah! a brand new clean hand. The writing/effects of the show have yet to convince me that I should take the cheerleader's powers seriously.

If I think about it, this show is just X-Lost.I know that, you know that - anyone with half a clue knows that ... but I was referring to the dumb ass lawsuit regarding the garbage disposal folk suing for unauthorised product placement, saying it makes their product look unsafe.

[superdeformed]

Negatives:
Dialog and plot is utterly forced and does not flow at all. I feel like the narrator is saying "HEY LOOK A CONNECTION, WE'RE DEEP!" I hope this show will chillout and stop trying to be Lost and be it's own show. SNL or MAD TV could make a hell of a parody.

Also, I could care less about these characters. The show keeps jumping around a little too fast to establish relationships between the viewer and the cast, something they should have stole from Lost. So far the only character that has been given any time to develop is the cheerleader. The broken neck thing was retarded.

Positives:
Hiro. He was the only part worth watching of episode one and was the rallying point of episode two. Picking up the gun was dumb, but people do stupid shit. The twist at the end was nice and hooked me in for at least a fewmore weeks.

The internet whore also got more interesting this week, but still not quite there, I wish she would be her other persona and I could care less about her normal self. At first I thought she was a berzerker, but it seems like it's more of a multiple personality thing, hopfully she has several each with their own powers maybe.


Hopefully in the next few episodes things will come more together. Episode two was much better than episode one, although it faltered some at the beginning. Overall thi show is hit or miss if it stops trying to be Lost, stops forcing itself, and the story and cast gel it will be an awesome show. To sum it up it's an OK show with an assload of potential, but can easily turn into sheer shit if it wanted to.

[buxomia]

So far this episode has been pretty awesome. Blows last week's out of the water. The dude who put the gun against the girly cop's head....insanity!

Hiro is my Hero!

I'm really digging this show, although the only characters I like are the Hiro, and the cheerleader. I reconize the dude who tried to rape the cheerleader from somewear, I went to imdb but I couldn't figure out who he was if anybody knows please let me know.

[atomusk]

yes, very very very very sexy

[guano]

They keep getting better. I totally called Cylis having telekinesis powers. Maybe he's that guy the cop saw in the bar, but couldn't hear his thoughts. Who was that girl at the bonfire that appeared right after Claire went to make out? Is she from the future?

Places the S symbol appeared:
--in the computer code again
--on the cover of the professor's book
--drawn on Claire's geometry book
...anybody see it other places?

Hiro is so great. "It's our destiny."

[fushna]

no isn't that the nerdy guy who filmed her killing herself over and over again. I'm talking about the jock.

[superdeformed]

Yep, getting better every episode. Much less being amazed with itself and more plot.

The opening narrations with the NBC announcer are really getting on my nerves though.

The stuff the Indian guy narrates is cheesy but fits the show much better.

[mikeydub]

This might be the most frustrating show on television. I really really want to like it, but it's going nowhere fast.

Those godamned commercial breaks are really really annoying. Their is more commercial than ****ing show, not to mention how they worked a Nissan commercial in. But the most annoying thing is the frequency and length of commercial breaks compared to the show itself. Their may not be more advertisements than other shows, and maybe its just the way they are cut into the show, but it feels like it completely disrupts the flow of the show. From now on I'm going to wait 20 minutes in, and use the Tivo.

Also, the show has no real substance. All it has going is the hook so far. Yeah, I get it, Super Powers are cool, that's why I read comic books. I realize this is reaching a much larger audience than comics, but if that is all they have going for them, then they need to re-write the show. I don't care enough about the characters themselves enough yet to care about whatever problems they have, or are going to have in the future.

The ending to this weeks episode was frigin awesome. I said "Oh Shit" out loud at the same time she did. One of the best endings i've seen in awhile. I really like this show, but like everyone else I agree that the dialogue is not very good at all. But the concept of the show is what keeps me coming back. It will get better, and it already rocks!

[seumas]

__________

[psbp516]

I agree that the dialouge is horrible and at some points is so stupid that I want to stop watching it. But this episode actually kind of impressed me. The cop chasing after the evil mutant guy was awesome and was probably the best part of the show. I knew there was going to be an evil mutant team! The evil brother that can fly, the guy the cop was chasing after, the girls dad (not sure if its the same guy the cop was chasing after), and ummm.... other people.
All in all the show can be stupid but its still worth watching.

[seumas]

__________

[funnelfish]

the guy the cop was chasing after, the girls dad (not sure if its the same guy the cop was chasing after.

I thought it was the same guy too, but it's not. It's the guy in the bar who is bald black and has no glasses... plus he's wearing that damn symbol on his neck. By the way, thanks for pointing out the symbol... now I see it EVERYwhere. Did you notice it in the scrolling numbers on Saresh's computer program? It's in the negative space.

I am also wondering why football guy didn't go to jail after attempted rape and second-hand murder... stoopid jockos. Getting away with anything!

[diela]

A couple points:

1. How are people still getting the name Sylar wrong? We saw it, in print, in the older professer's notebook.

2. For those of you worried about the cheerleader's breasts, take heart... the skin is just peeled back from her chest, and boobs are a layer of fat and tissue beneath the skin but above the muscle layer we saw... as soon as she zips her birthday suit back up, she'll be fine.

3. I was actively looking for the symbol in the scrolling DNA code on the computer screen. I did not see it. However, I can see the images in those magic eye posters at the mall, so it's a tradeoff.

4. Any bets on Hiro's friend and Nicki the stripper becoming true love when they finally meet up? It's just corny enough to work.

5. WTF is up with the hopeful senator? If that were my brother he would have gotten more than a bloody nose. Nice way to burn bridges buddy. Those two will end up on opposing sides in a flying duel at the end of the season, mark my words.

6. I suspect the jock is either looking at some serious jail-time (which will not happen because she will now be up and walking around fine... no dead body, no crime) OR her father swooped in with his sneaky black-ops lab techs and covered up the whole thing, in which case I would say the jock would be killed to cover tracks, were it not for the previews for next week. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

[toastmstrgeneral]

Did anyone check out the Url (lasvegasniki.com) that was pasted over the video of ali larter the dude was watching on his Ipod? It's nothing but a redirect to a fan site, I was so disappointed when I didn't find a skeezy porn site with webcam videos of ali larter stripping down.

4. I don't think so. Maybe. But on another note: Who thinks that it was Nikki's doppleganger that killed D.L.'s gang and stole the money? *raises hand*

[icedsoul]

regardless of the criticism... I really enjoy this show... may not top 5 worthy yet :-)... but holy frack... that ending... thats just hillarious... and I like our little depressed flyboy... dunno.. I keep watching!

[abacusand13south]

Another good episode. I really like this show and I dont see the dialogue problems some of you are having, but maybe thats because I look for the good in things and not just nitpick the shit out of stuff and look for things to complain about.

Whoever said the bit about the jocks getting away with everything, how do you know he didnt or wont get in trouble for the attempted rape? We barely saw anything after she fell.

Is it just me or does anyone else not beleive that Peter can fly? Because so far it has only happened when he was around his brother. So I think he may have some sort of Rogue type thing going on where he can use other peoples powers for himself but im not sure.

I still think the cop is a bad guy for some reason, I also think the chick from Brick is evil as well.

It was me that made the jock comment. But I was refering to the preview which showed him in the car with the cheerleader... though he is obviously going to get his in that sitch!

As for Peter, I think it has already been said in an interview that his power isn't flight, but empathy, like Rouge as you said.

And thank you for placing where I had seen the Mac and Cheese girl before. It was bugging the crap out of me!

[icedsoul]

interesting point about the rogue thing... but then again... wouldnt it be toooooo close to the whole xmen thing... it is already quite close.

[diela]

like Rouge as you said.

ROGUE.... ****ING ROGUE goddammit.

I hate it when the WoW spelling retards spell it wrong, and I hold my fellow Dromies to an even higher standard.

That being said, I have no idea how he did the Wiley Coyote thing then, unless it works in mere proximity and physical contact is not required.

I just finished watching this weeks episode and I did the exact same thing although despite being 23 I still say crap instead of shit. I love the hiro stuff and I'm glad I get to see it without the ads,

I can't remember whos comment it was sorry but it must be really annoying to get ads all the time. I was watching death of a president on More4 last night and the adverts during that were annoying.

I have to say though that its adverts that pay for this type stuff so they have their good points, but then again worry over ad reveunes have caused some really good show to be cancelled because ratings weren't high enough so overall I dont know were I stand on the whole advert thing.

The bbc make us pay a TV Lience whether we watch it or not but we dont get adverts on BBC owned channels or radio stations.

i think that he grabbed that premonition while helping the junkie psychic and the memory of it just kind stuck with him. he could retain a memory but not a power.

[abacusand13south]

There was another point I wanted to make earlier but forgot, there is 16 minutes of commercials on this show, the same as every other hour long show on television. Heroes just breaks the commercials up more I guess. The Pilot only had about 8 minutes so maybe thats why everyone feels thier are more commercials?

[satori]

ok, so I decided that I am going to get into Heroes. I hit the NBC site, but you can only download the latest episode, and only if you live in the U.S. (sadly I live in Canada so can't watch it).
I decided to take the plunge and download it through torrents. Strange thing is that the NBC web site shows 5 episodes, while I can only find 3 episodes on the torrent sites. Can anyone enlighten me on where they are in the show?

haha. put a buck in the race bucket!

[ben0081]

The show is straight up retarded. Nothing makes sense, it's cheesy, and the actors aren't that convincing. But for some reason, I still watch it, and enjoy it thoroughly.

[cypher000]

I liked it they didn't have the horrible expositional dialogue and the show actually felt like it was driving toward something it kind of lagged in the middle but the show does seem to be getting better.

[psbp516]

The last scene of heroes made the show officialy awesome. OMG that was so ****ing awesome
Hiro is a badass :)

[nvert]

ugh... the concept has SO MUCH effing potential.

but shit, it just gets stupider and stupider. the writing is the worst, the acting is just as bad.



and yes, i do still watch it.

[nvert]

" you look different without your scar "


......................... so someone wrote that... and they put it IN the show......




ugh.

[cypher000]

The last scene of heroes made the show officialy awesome. OMG that was so ****ing awesome
Hiro is a badass :)

Haha I know right apparently Hiro is like the fastest japanese person ever to lose his accent when speaking english though. But that episode really got me hyped for the next couple weeks on the show. They also explained Peter's powers better because I been watching the show and I didn't even notice the part where he drew the future must be because of the lack of HDTV or something.

[bigyanks]

i agree the acting was bad but its getting better. Hiro kicks ass i dont like the soul patch though. but heros has great potential hopefully the second half will get better.

[point5o]

Each week's episode is better than the last...did anyone feel like they were watching Spider Man during that opening scene with the sweeping camera through NYC(1st person POV)?

[superdeformed]

The show should be called "Hiro" plain and simple.

The dialog is still forced, but it seems like the actors are getting into their characters more. Also, it's nice that the story is not jumping around as much.

So Cheerpool or Cheerverine? I hope they make her just a mean *****.

[invartact]

No matter what any of you say, I LOVE this show although this weeks episode didnt seem as suspencefull 'til the very end..... I cant wait to see next weeks episode. If you dont overthink the show (worrying about how Claire's cheerleading outfit should be ripped and whatnot) its f*cking amazing! I read on the NBC website that they will play 3 episodes back to back on sunday the 22nd... Do you think those will be repeats or like a 3 part episode thing? Also, does anyone keep up with the comic?

[bravestarr]

Ninja Hiro!!!!! i'm now offically feelin this thing. but why are they puttin up against R.A.W., i missed the debut of Cryme Tyme.

[guano]

That guy who's teamed up with the cheerleader's father is totally... The Mind Taker!!!

That shot in the preview for next week when the Senator soars into the sky was epic.

[toastmstrgeneral]

I do believe my favorite part of the show this week was hiro's friend convincing him it was ok to cheat because peter parker sells photos of spiderman.

[briangilmore]

yeah, that was seriously ****ing AWESOME.


HIRO IS THE BEST. CHARACTER. EVER. (on this show).

soul patch = badass

[atomusk]

very awesome episode, heres my thoughts:

i think the cheerleader chick is gonna get attacked by a giant Goro-like person

Future Hiro = Future Trunks

they both come from the future and they both have a sword

......do u think Hiro is a super saiyan???????

[guano]

soul patch = badass

Soul patch + Samurai sword = ep-tothemother****in-ic

Future Hiro = Future Trunks

they both come from the future and they both have a sword

......do u think Hiro is a super saiyan???????

Haha, DBZ FTW!

[vegasgeek]

Futuristic Hiro looks figgin bad-ass. has the kitana kickin and such. i want next monday to be here...and i want it right now.

[diela]

Why has no one mentioned that future-Hiro now speaks FLAWLESS and awesome English?

Also, interesting comment he made about almost not recognizing Peter without his scar.

[psbp516]

I was thinking cable, but I guess that works too.
I really hope the police guy isn't dead, because of the black mind-taker guy. That would blow :(. I really want to see some badass fight scene next episode. God I hope we get one.

[bigyanks]

hiro speaking perfect english cmon he from the future and can stop time obviosly hes had all the time in the world to perfect his english. Im thinkin peter's powers is being able to use other people powers, remember he told mohinder it seems he can only use his power around other people. could explain he flew only near his brother and could explain his eyes for next week. issac damn he needs to get his act together something about gettin high on herion to see the future aint right to me.

[tokenuser]

Why has no one mentioned that future-Hiro now speaks FLAWLESS and awesome English?

Also, interesting comment he made about almost not recognizing Peter without his scar.Hiro looked older. Depending how far into the future he came from his English could be pretty good. Hell, people can hardly tell that American isn't my native language when I speak - even if it is heavily accented with Australian.

[tokenuser]

I do believe my favorite part of the show this week was hiro's friend convincing him it was ok to cheat because peter parker sells photos of spiderman.Did anyone else pick up on the fact that they were gambling at the Montecito?? I was expecting Ed Deline, or Danny McCoy to invite Hiro into a back room ....

[burntfire]

Yeah I saw that too. Guess NBC is too cheap to cover the freakin sign on the Las Vegas set. I just hope to god that they aren't thinking of doing a cross-over episode.

[tokenuser]

Yeah I saw that too. Guess NBC is too cheap to cover the freakin sign on the Las Vegas set. I just hope to god that they aren't thinking of doing a cross-over episode.I first picked up on it when I noticed they were using Montecito casino chips. I actually thougt it was a cool touch.

I just hope they dont recycle the Friends set, and have them meeting for coffee at "Central Perk", or using "Monk's Diner" (actually "Tom's Restaurant" in Manhatten) from Seinfeld.

[diela]

I wasn't saying he shouldn't know good English... just that it was noteworthy. Like you said, it could indicate how far back he has travelled... or how fast he picked it up.

And it makes me wonder if he *had* to learn it, because his buddy wouldn't be around to interpret for him.

[tokenuser]

Sidebar:

When I was in Japan, I was told that if I got lost, or needed help, to ask a Japanese schoolgirl (no, this is not a perverted hentai cross reference). I got lost coming out of a subway station - there were 17 exits that would pop me up under buildings and on streets all over the Roppongi area, and found a likely candidate. She was a bit wary of me approaching her (a slightly drunk gaijin late at night) in an area that borders the red light district, but really opened up and was helpful when I asked her how to get out, rather than than up to my room.

The thing that got me though was her New York inflection. That surprised me a little.

I guess a lot of Americans teach English in Tokyo :)

I wonder if Claire's dad will recruit and give the quarterback rapist powers so he can get revenge on Claire...

did you watch last night's episode?

[point5o]

Yes...did you read the online comic?

[divadawg9234]

oh... no, do you have to to get the show?

[abacusand13south]

And it makes me wonder if he *had* to learn it, because his buddy wouldn't be around to interpret for him.

I thought the same thing. He also looked very much like a Highlander.

I half expected to come in here and see crap about how this officially seals it that this show is just an X Men ripoff and all that crap so im happy no one around here is that stupid.

What happened to the episode title also? It was caled Hiro the past few weeks but the actual title was Collision.

[slowmtnsilhouette]

i thought last nights ep was awesome... i tend to try not to have any expectations for things, that way it doesnt ruin it for me. i thought the montecito tie-in was interesting. hiro from the future was cool... but did anyone else notice that isaac also had paintings of the other heroes being chased by the big shadow??? im also glad we got to see nikki's alter ego in action.

[bravestarr]

I half expected to come in here and see crap about how this officially seals it that this show is just an X Men ripoff and all that crap so im happy no one around here is that stupid.

good thing i didn't make my Days of Future Hiro comment.

seriously though, i really think Niki's gangsta ex is living inside her now. i'm not sure but i thought i heard her/him tell that dude "if you ever threaten our son again ..."

it would've been funny is she said "you wouldn't like me when i'm angry!"

and Clair's pop's comment "i don't work for any organization that has initials" seemed like a good jab at S.H.I.E.L.D./Weapon X/Dept. H.

startin to pick up now, no more character intro crap.

[soundwave2-0]

i love the twist on how the one dude's power is that he can have the power of ppl around him.

i loved the ending. this show does endings very well.

[bravestarr]

i think that's how Hiro was able to stop time and still keep pete animated, which means that must at some point work together (that and the scar comment).

[soundwave2-0]

and how hiro had a costume type get up...

cheerleader and hiro r easily the best

[funnelfish]

Now for the perv question... what happened to the cheerleaders boobies? When she closed herself up... she looked like a flat Barbie doll. Or was I just too drugged to notice? And what is up with the symbol??? It's on schizos back too?

[soundwave2-0]

her boobs were on the scale. didn't u see her take em and put em on...sucking on her nipple first?

[point5o]

I do believe my favorite part of the show this week was hiro's friend convincing him it was ok to cheat because peter parker sells photos of spiderman.

Spidey logic wins ever time...oh and the Rainman shot...brilliant!

[tokenuser]

Yeah - you heard that right. I didn't think about it being anything to do with her ex though. Many schitzoid personalities have awareness of the others actions. Niki might see the end results, but it looks like her alter has a greater awareness of Niki's life.

startin to pick up now, no more character intro crap.The problem with so many character starting out at so many different locations was character intro/development. Its not like they are the new crew of a ship with a limited set that are in the same scenes.

Now that the characters are starting to interact, the storyline will flow a lot faster.

I think this is definately a keeper ... and will play really well back to back on DVD when they are released.

[slowmtnsilhouette]

Spidey logic wins ever time...oh and the Rainman shot...brilliant!

definitely... definitely the rainman shot...

i totally started laughing and then one by one, the rest of my family slowly got it and laughed too.

hey are the webcomics all only 7 pages long?

[point5o]

hey are the webcomics all only 7 pages long?

unfortunately yes...they could be a bit longer.

[slowmtnsilhouette]

yeah, that blows... here i am all excited and there's no more pages...

[bravestarr]

that, combined with her kid's comment "they'll never find dad", the fact that she knew where his old gang was buried, and her gangsta ways are what lead me to believe she has no power and the dad is living in her with his power. unless she's herm and is both the dad and the mom.

could be wrong though.

this sounds very interesting. its totally possible i think. but nikki could have also said "our son" because her alter ego is part of her - meaning that it has maternal responsibility for micah.

[divadawg9234]

whoa there... I'm all about internet stripper mom.

[bigyanks]

one part that had me cracking up was when Micah admited to her that he knew about the internet thing.lol

[slowmtnsilhouette]

hes a smart kid. im sure he knew all along.

[icedsoul]

haha... yeah just had that tom cruise, dustin hoffman flashback.

[madripper1]

the rainman scene had me on the floor. My favorite thing is when Hiro stops time and how he clenches up its very funny how he looks like he is taking a dump.

[cyrinix]

i thought we were gonna start a new thread for each episdoe of Heroes?

[bcool]

I liked how the one thug-type guy just walked up to hiro and punched him. That cracked me up for some reason.

[slowmtnsilhouette]

that was hilarious... every time hiro stops time, im afraid he's going to have and aneurysm...

[diela]

Well duh... especially since he probably had to a) set up her PC b) do the HTML and scripts for her webpage and c) hook up the video camera.

I'm not saying girls can't be geeks, obviously, but if she had all those kinds of website skills on her own, she could just earn her living doing webpages.

"There u go mom, im done setting up ur strip webpage, i'll be in the living room if u got any more questions, have fun!"

[kevmann16]

Once I heard nikki say ours I thought it meant it was the dad as well, I said it after last episode when the kid seemed to know where his dad is. May be the kid has powers as well.

But after reading these forums I guess it could of been her split personality saying it and why would the ex sleep with the flying guy, plus the fact she had the symbol tattoed on the back could mean something.

[bigyanks]

i have no idea what the symbol means i think i must have missed that. can someone explain?

[slowmtnsilhouette]

i have no idea what the symbol means i think i must have missed that. can someone explain?

the symbol doesnt quite have a meaning, but its all over the place... its like a big linking factor in the stories.

[guano]

I still don't buy it that Niki's ex is her other half. How the hell does that work? She said "our son" because she has two personalities and they both are Micah's mom. And she went back to the Senator's room while she was still her "bad" self, didn't she? I'm thinking that her husband was blamed for her actions as her other self.

[bravestarr]

it looks like a RNA/DNA strand (the whole genetic evolution thing). it doesn't have anymore meaning, yet .....

i don't know, i just got a gut feeling about it. i went and looked up the cast and there's still a character who a. is a fugitive and b. can phase. phase like Kitty or phase like phase into a person's consciousness, who knows?

and just cuz he's a dude doesn't mean he's beyond sleeping with radio flier in niki's form. gangsta's do some crazy ish when pushed.

[psbp516]

I really want to know what peters powers are. Can he fly or does he take other people's powers? The flying thing would make more sense because he said he could levitate a little bit in the first episode. And the painter draws him flying in one of the paintings.

Also, does anyone else find the powers sort of unbalanced? I mean one guy can read minds... ok cool somewhat useful. The cheerleader is invincible, cool but pointless because she's still weak and obviously very unlucky (she should have died TWICE). The guy can draw the future, ties the story together. The stripper turns into a killing machine, ok badass. Peter, fly or steal powers? Nathan can fly. And then there is hiro. Hiro can stop time slice everyone in half with his katana, and its over. If he makes a mistake, he can go back in time. If he needs to travel somewhere fast he just teleports. Does anyone else find this kind of unfair. Everyone else kind of sucks compared to hiro. Oh well, he's still the best character, and super-badass.

There is Sylar too, we haven't seen is face but he has really powerful telekinesis powers.
