Heroes (Spoilers)

[mamadeb]

I liked it. I liked it a lot. I liked the explorations of superpowers in a world where they're still comic-book fare. I liked the complex threads - but I also liked that they intersect in odd place - that all of them are connected in some way. There's a...style choice there I think will work well - the alley where the brothers flew is the alley where the cabdriver/professor escaped from the evil guy. Nice choice. Nice choice in having the other brother fly, not the nurse. And that race doesn't seem to be a factor - major plus there. Very well done.

And, of course, I *LOVE* Super-Hiro. Who wouldn't?

Me too. I loved every single moment of it. And I adore Super-Hiro. He is possibly my favorite TV character ever. This is definitly my new hsow this season.

Darn, I don't think we're recording that. I must go fix that at once.

How does it compare to... oh bother, neurons not firing... the show with the Huntress in it? Despite the fact that she was not the Huntress (who used to be my alltime favorite comic book character), we loved it and watched every episode.

There really is no comparison. Birds of Prey was a classic comic book come to life - that what it was meant to be and that's what it was.

Heroes is a drama with a large cast and multiple continuing storylines (like many current dramas) centering about what happens to the world and to individuals when superpowers happen. And they don't pull punches.

It's replaying tonight if you want to see the Pilot. This show is so awesome - Im glad to see so many other people excited about it.

Yeah, it's nice to see a fan-boy get his wish! Cause it's all of ours! I was wrung out at the end of the episode!

And there is till more to come. I can't wait to see the others!

And does anyone else think the Indian professor/cab driver's power will be that he can recognize the ones with the powers? And how cruel is that that the cheerleader's adopted father is the one who is trying to stop his and his father's research?

And for those who missed it, it's on again tonight on NBC at 8 PM Eastern.

My favourite thing about Super-Hiro was how much of him I understood without subtitles, though it's been five years since I spoke Japanese regularly and I was never fluent; but he's so awesome! :)

I enjoyed it and look forward to seeing it again on SciFi as my NBC reception sucks. The only thing I groaned about was when the cheerleader's step-dad was revealed (and hands up to everyone who *didn't* see that coming).
