Has anyone seen this or if you have, like it?
I've been watching this program since its debut and it's pretty good but if I had a gripe about it, I'd say that there are way too many characters to start out with.

I like the two Asian guys though; they're sort of like comic relief :) .

    Last night's episode was good but overall it's developing slowly.
    I see over the last couple of episodes that Christopher Eccleston(Dr. Who) has joined the cast as a wanderer with invisibility powers...

    Can't say I care much for this show Rogue. Maybe its because I'm so much older than most of the "heroes" on the show, but I just can't take them or the premise seriously. I also have a strong prejudice against comics inspired shows that subscribe to the "no tights" policy. Damn you Smallville, damn you to Hell!!

    These are prejudices of mine as well, Tony. However, I'm willing to hold judgement until I see how this actually forms out - if it ever gets to the point that is. :))

    I prefer tights as well and yes...I am also dated in this concept so waiting to see if they'll form an Avengers/JLA pact is at least worth the wait...


    I too HATE Smallville and it's 90210/Melrose Place preface... X-( :))

    That line is a microcosm for my problems with so many of these shows (and some movies while we're at it) and why I lose interest in them so quickly. If it were really possible to possess extraordinary powers, somehow I think the everyday issues I have to deal with like relationships and my job would quickly become irrelevant. If you had the proportionate strength and abilities of a spider, would you really settle for delivering pizza? That's why I tuned out a lot of Marvel comics like Spiderman and X-Men and why I can't get into Heroes, Smallville and their ilk.

    I like view these stories as epic confrontations involving giants, not ansgt ridden cheerleaders.

    AH-HAH! :)) :)) :))


    Now I know your angst for Spider-Man 2! :))


    I think, in a nutshell, that everyone is trying to come to terms with what's going on with them but their margin of acceptance is closing in on the impending doom of a cataclysmic bomb set to wipe out New York City. That's the problem I have; the writers are keeping everything vague right up until the last show and I'll bet my last dollar that we won't know what's going to happen until the next season...if the studios haven't had enough.


    This is the same problem I had with INVASION and I think that is what sealed its fate and it didn't have as much character introduction as Heroes does...

    Yup. When Peter and Aunt May were at the bank getting rejected for that loan, it took all my willpower to keep from standing up, pointing at the screen and shouting out "You pathetic squirming impotent worm!! Get off your sorry ass and get the old bag a toaster!!! And make mine a pepperoni and mushroom, light on the sauce!!!!"

    Batman would have hauled the loan officer to the roof and hung him upside down from the flagpole ... and then bought the bank! :p

    I didn't see that one. As I said before, the thought seeing my beloved superheros running around in jeans and t-shirts that vaguely match the colors of their costumes is just a big turn-off to me.

    I'm sure I'll come across it eventually but I'm honestly in no hurry. What did you think of it?

    I'm probably worse than Tony on this, Agent M but I don't even watch the show.


    I came close when Green Arrow was to make an appearance...then I saw that it was the DAWSON'S CREEK version...I took a pass. :s

    It wasn't too bad, at least green arrow and aquaman had pretty much the right uniforms on

    cyborg and impulse were o.k. but not great

    clark did nothing but run into a room full of kryptonite.

    I'm ten episodes into this and borderline hooked. The Japanese bloke who can teleport is definitely the most fun part of the show.
  • RogueAgentRogueAgent Speeding in the Tumbler...Posts: 3,676MI6 Agent
    I agree, A.P. The show would drag on alot slower without him. Peter's too emo for my tastes but adding Eccleston to the mix helps the flow tremendously.

    My sons and I love Smallville. It's a hell of a lot of fun {[] They just re-ran the fledgling 'Justice League' episode last night...but I hadn't seen it before, so it was new to me. Pretty cool.

    Still, I didn't get into it until it was in its third season, and I saw a couple of episodes. Now I own all five previous seasons on DVD...it's 'Dad and the boys' time B-)

    I've never given 'Heroes' as much as a glance...but perhaps I will at some point...

    I really like the show and have watched every episode since the beginnging
  • JamesbondjrJamesbondjr Posts: 462MI6 Agent
    I have watched the first 16 episodes. Personally, I think it's the best thing i've seen on TV in a very long time.

    I love the fact that it is largely character based and doesn't try to impress with stupidly OTT set pieces.

    Also I think the pacing of the developing story is fantstic

    I'm up to episode 14 now. I like Lost but that show does tread water with filler episodes at times. Heroes is doing a great job in making each episode eventful and fast-moving. There are some funny jokes too, although most come from Hiro. The only character I struggle with sometimes is the woman with the evil twin who is always trying to shoot her husband or something.

    Just began in the UK. Bit of a slow start, but it's beginning to pick up. Notice Bryan Fuller has an executive-producer credit. He created one of my favourite ever shows, 'Dead Like Me,' so I'm hoping this is going to be good. looking forward to Christopher Eccleston turning up. Nice to Adrian Pasdar again as well. The guy hardly seems to have aged since 'Near Dark' 18 years ago.

    Last Monday's episode was great IMO. Don't want to spoil it for you but I believe most of you will be pleased.

    The latest episode is the best yet. That 'save the cheerleader' stuff makes a lot more sense now.
  • RogueAgentRogueAgent Speeding in the Tumbler...Posts: 3,676MI6 Agent
    I've read somewhere that the creators were signed on to another season. So if that's the case, will there be some sort of costumes by the season debut?

    I have a feeling that they won't take it that far.

    Did Hiro have a costume on when he froze time on that subway train and appeared to Peter?

    He was dressed all in black I think. Don't think it was a costume. He had that ninja/samurai vibe to him though. Beginning to love this show.

    He had a bit of a goatee too I think and had ditched the glasses. I think it's a nice touch that Hiro now has to find the sword that his future self carries.

    'Heroes'just gets better and better. Never thought I'd see Christopher Eccleston and Eric Roberts working together. :))
  • arthur pringlearthur pringle SpacePosts: 366MI6 Agent
    That was quite a cliffhanger in the latest episode. There is a break now isn't there? I'm sure I saw somewhere the final episodes will be in may or something.

    Correction to your jab, J.D. More like:

    Never thought I'd see Eric Roberts "working". :))

    What an awful actor...
