Trailer

Anyone watching this show as well? I just finished the 3rd episode, and this little girl and the healing thing is really creeping me out! :ph34r:

It got slammed by a critic and that's why I'm watching it!
I love it!!
Are you talking about the cheerleader?

Im following the series too, i love claire's reaction when she found out where she was at the end of ep.3

I was wondering when someone was going to make a thread about Heroes. :D
This series rocks!
It's like X-men, but without the spandex lol
It looks like Sayler (evil dude)adopts the powers of the other mutants when he kills them, plus I think he is like that x-men (evil)chick that can tell where the mutants are and their powers.
I like the ending of ep 3 when clair saw the situation she was in lol it will be interesting how they explains that one in ep 4.

Spoiler: Show

Yeah Claire I think, when they remove that stick from her head and she wakes up on an autopsy table. There isn't alot that shocks me, but when I saw that my dropped like :yikes:.

^^ Trying to conceal spoilers... you know they're tempting though. :lol:

You have a link to that critic? I'm interested in reading what he said now. :lol: The show is really turning out to be good.

Judging from the first episode, it is going to be an interesting series. Lol @ the japanese dude.

Spoiler: Show

Yeah I was wondering what was going to happen with her, as she obviously couldn't resume her everyday life after a death as public as that... (Wow, what an oxymoron!)

Hiro is hilarious! I seriously laughed out loud when he freaked out and ran through the cubical isles after the second hand ticking backwards once.

Spoiler: Show

I think the cheerleader's dad would know that she is not dead. So, she'll probably end up being captured by him, I think.

omgwirjo use the spoiler tags if you give something away about the plot,some people get a bit narked if you spoil things for them :)

Well all the "heroes" are mutants really, it's just like X-men in that respect. They all have mutated genetics that give them the abilities.

Spoiler: Show

I think I read somewhere that Sylar learns to develop powers by doing something with the brains of the other mutants. Hence the reason why all the victims have their heads surgically cut open and the brains removed. Though it could only be a rumor, you know how it is...

Just seen the 4th episode,can't wait to see next weeks,this just keeps getting better.

This entire series has me sitting on the edge of my seat after every episode! Supernatural was the ONLY series I ever took time to watch once a week but now I'm happy to say that this one is the second. Let's hope they keep it fresh. The ending of ep4 leaves a lot of doors open now, they can take this baby anywhere!

It's great - espeicially the latest cliffhanger!

Best new show of this season - really enjoying it right now.

I haven't seen it yet, but i think i will everbody seems to like it!

I'ma have to wait until monday now. Ghey :dabs:

Liked the ending of this last one.

Spoiler: Show

Interesting how they haven't shown Syler's face yet ... teh missus and I decided that it's 'cos in a future episode, we'll find out that Syler is the blonde cheerleader's dad.

Well, I did think that but have since decided it's prolly too obvious and it's what the scriptwriters want us to think.

With Peter able to absorb the heroes' powers, and time travelling in the last episode, Syler might be a future version of him - a mad with power, evil version.

Spoiler: Show

Me thinks similar to manker,hadn't thought about Peter being a future version as Sylar,interesting.
Don't think the cheerleaders dad is Sylar,thinking he is a government type,like the baddy in Mutant x.

If any of you have read Rising Stars then you'd see this is another rip-off (like the 4400).

In Rising Stars, there was someone knocking off all the Specials. It turned out to be someone no one expected and they knew how to get to each one of them. (there was a so-called invincible man that could get shocked by electricity, even did commercials doing it.....however, he still needed oxygen. He was found dead sitting in his armchair with a simple plastic bag on over his head)

If you thought The Watchmen was a good read, check out Rising Stars.

There are very few completely original ideas in any form of media these days, the exposure levels are such, nowadays, that you can pick a hole in any 'new' series/film/song/book and say that some part of it derives from someone else's creativity.

Whether this show has a similar premis to X-men, or anything else, isn't much of an issue.

Whether it's good entertainment is the only thing that concerns me - and Heroes rocks.

Ain't that the troof :)
I'll check out rising stars..cheers

I haven't been reading it (or if it's still around) recently. It's by the guy who Babylon 5. (reminds self to get trade paperbacks, wifey will kill me)

In one instance when the Specials were children, they were in some sort of camp. They had something like counselors and whatnot. Well when it was bedtime there was one boy that was always roused from his sleep in the middle of the night by a particular counselor and taken somewhere. This happened over and over...until one day the boy looked at the counselor and said, "BuuUuRRrN!!"

Needless to say that counselor stopped abusing the boy (and stopped living) cos he was burnt to a char.

Btw, the last Heroes was great. I knew I was right about the younger Petrelli.:happy:

Gotta love the BOOM of the elder Pretrelli too.

Yeah, great show. Last night's ending was good :D

I'm watching it mainly because I love Milo, (Peter) and I like Superhero stories in general, but a lot of moments have been rather boring so far.

I hope the storyline speeds up a little faster, or they give more background into the characters so we can really start to love them. Right now I don't know enough to care much one way or another with any of them. (except maybe Peter) ;)

One could argue that it's a good thing to not get so close so early. You never know who will still be around in a couple weeks, given the whole Silar problem.

you don't have to worry ... Silar will not kill any of the heroes. Maybe at the end of season 1 and only if that pearson is not loved by the audience or stuff like that.

Or too powerful to keep a storyline going, as Peter seems to be. If he can learn to concentrate his ability, he'd be unstoppable, especially if there are more than one hero near him.

its agood film

loving it

Spoiler: Show

Was is just me, or did the 5th episode seem like filler to you all too? The only plot movement at all was the fact that Claire's "father" is in league with the girl pretending to be Mohinder's friend.

The whole thing with DL being able to materialize through walls and Claire's bio-family introduction being staged seems rather unimportant.

The staging and the DL revelation are pretty significant. It also explains the other bodies in the desert and that the alter-ego has been at this for some time.

What happened after the girl visited the painter? The program was off a little bit and my tivo stopped right after he answered the door.:dry:

hi

I think Hero is an alright show (7.5/10)
