Heroes (NBC)

[TBaslim]

Good show so far - not the greatest writing, but probably will improve.

Sick stuff toward the end there - not sure I needed to see that on primetime tv...

 

[CardFan67]

Seems to be picking up, enjoying it as far as the entertainment value goes... Still has not totally won me over, but I am watching...

 

[D-Dogg]

I'm getting sucked into it. Hiro is a great character.

The writing is tighter as it goes forward, and I hope it continues to get there. The ending was fantastic and I didn't expect that to be coming, but I was feeling something big coming because

Spoiler

I didn't think they'd have the artist die so soon, but I didn't see the moving forward in time aspect though I totally love that twist.

I love the Greg Grunberg (jj abram's childhood friend and Weiss on Alias) storyline. I think it's pretty interesting and I think his character may have a very large role in this before all is said and done. I remember watching a special with him and this show where he said that when he read this script he was dying to do the show...from a guy who is JJ Abram's best friend, I'll take his word for the script being awesome and this last little twist is a bit of confirmation that he could be right.

I'm getting sucked into it.

Hooray!

Yeah, it's official. My TV watching card is full. This is the last new show I can add to my schedule.

My wife got me to watch this show last night. Seems to be graphic as hell just for the sake of being graphic. I can live with that. Only saw the 2nd episode, but I will be watching from now on.

It's got me now. Really like the Japanese character, and I thought it was cool when he jumped into the future. I'm surprised they can show so much gore at 8 p.m. on a major network. Makes the X-Files look pretty tame.

Oh, and I KNEW that dirt bag politician brother was a flier, not a faller. He's probably got some pretty bad IM conversations with some 13 year old boy in his closet. Oh yeah...he's gonna be a bad, bad, bad guy.

 

[Chaplin]

2nd episode was much better than the first. At least we know that November 8th seems to be a pivotal date.

Looks like Heroes has been extended for a full, 22-ep season.

Looks like your standard TK to me.

Nice ending with Claire being autopsied. I was pretty shocked to see that.

TK?

a true WTH?!?! moment (if you were the one being autopsied)

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Loving this show...gets better and better.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

TK?

Sorry that's nerd talk for telekinesis. The ability to move force with your mind ala Jean Grey.

Yeah, that was pretty awesome.

Okay so here are some of my guesses. I suppose I should revisit this later.

#1. Peter (the younger brother) does NOT have the power to fly. He can mimic the powers of those he is in close contact with, thus why he could fly once he touched his brother who can fly. He also had a brief glimpse of the future after touching the artist.

#2. The black guy in the bar was Ali Landry's (the stripper) husband. He was talked about too much in the show not to appear shortly. He works for the agency same as Claire's dad like his flunky (as seen in the preview of the upcoming episode)

#3. The neighbor of Mohinder is in fact a spy working for the agency. She is the reason that Sylar's apartment was cleared out after Mohinder went there.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

#4 Sylar is also a mimic like Peter, but he gets his powers by eating the brains of those who already have them. A sort of Power Ghoul.

 

[TBaslim]

Another good episode - I like how the pace and story thread keeps moving. Plenty of interesting characters and so far a good job of jumping between them. Love the Japanese guy...

With that said, they do have to watch out for being too cheesy...

Spoiler

The cheerleader - sheesh! I almost laughed while cringing at her death. That's twice over two shows were she had been 'killed' by football players in horrific ways. First the broken neck, then getting impaled. Dangerous to be a cheerleader at her school! Hopefully she can use her hero skill for more then surviving jacka** teenagers.

I did like the creep out ending with her coming back from death - on the autopsy table cut open, no less. Loved the 'oh sh*#' comment...

Oh, and the wanna-be rapist quarterback is toast next week. Serves him right, of course.

This show is definately going to try to keep up or outdo CSI for grossness. Not what makes the show good, so hopefully they don't overdo it.

Good theory on #1. Agreed on 2 and 3. Esp 3 - her walking in when she did was WAY too convienent.

Great theory on #4. I was wondering about the brain stealing thing.

Also - does the little girl who survived Sylar have a power? Assuming so, since he is trying to kidnap her.

This ep was good, but next week's looks fantastic.
