Heroes

[F-Stop Blues]

Its a new show on NBC about a bunch of ordinary people who discover that they haev Super powers. There's an article about over at Superherohype.com.

I liked this show when it was called the 4400. Talk about a rip off, and I bet it will do awesome in the ratings and people wont even think of the 4400.

I read an article about it at TV Guide.com, and it doesn't sound anything like 'Lost' or 'The 4400', both of which I've watched. In fact, it sounds quite a bit better than either of them to me.

Mike Ausiello went into deatail (without spoilers) about the pilot script (the series hasn't moved past filming the pilot yet, I don't think) and it sounds quite good. It's more about the lives of people who discover they have special powers than the powers themselves, and it all ultimately rushes toward these people, who are scattered all over the world, having to come together to protect the planet.

There is also a villain in the series, a villain that we're meant to know is the bad guy from early on, and that's something that's been missing in TV of later (especially in shows like Lost.)

I'm going to give it a chance, and with luck it'll wind up being pretty good.

That sounds an awful lot like the 4400 to me.

But the show has been touted at the next Lost, I'm not sure if it will live up to the hype or not.

[Summers]

Well, honestly 4400 sounds like a borrowed concept of the X-Men :\. Which is a concept used by SV(FoTWs), Mutant X, and 4400.

[k18]

I'm looking forward to this show. Hope it is as good as Lost!

[roxy0725]

I read the article at tvguide too. I think it sounds good, though I'm always tentative when show's get too hyped. I don't like it being compared to Lost, because if it doesn't deliver people are going to be disappointed.
But I'll check it out, premise sounds interesting, and it looks like some good casting.

[NewAgeJesus]

If anything... Comparing it to Lost only puts me off the idea... I watch Lost, hoping they'll answer the questions. If I hadn't invested so much time in the show already, I would have stopped watching.

It sounds good though, i'll check out the first episode.

I never really watched The 4400, so if it is like that, it'll be new to me.

[ProudPenny]

NAJ!!!! Infidel!!! ;)

I love the concept. I mean, I'm assuming it's more like The X-men than The 4400 - the folks on the latter show already know they've been kidnapped by mysterious forces and put back into the future with total memory loss, etc. So their powers aren't complete shocks to them or us.

I'm curious about this show, anyway. It might be a big truckfull of Velveeta, but if it's not, I'd probably watch it.

[NewAgeJesus]

Funny, I did think about you when confessing my sins, in regards to the 4400. :p

[RedQ]

Come or a Series version Sky High?

I AM SO PSYCHED!

I haven't seen 4400 but something tells me that I'm going to like it.

[Superboy2]

This show sounds good.

[CallMeClark]

I cannot wait! I am really excited. I hope it is like X-Men. And I hope that a "Villian" develops each year they stay on the air. It should be good.

[Mysticlies]

this doesn't sound to bad, i'll give it a chance. does anyone know what timeslot its on?

[<Adam Knight>]

this show sounds really good! Cant wait for it to come one :)

[F-Stop Blues]

There was a photo of the cast over at Superherohype.com. I still think this show is a carbon copy of the 4400.

[CallMeClark]

Time slot: Monday, 9-10, NBC.

[tigertim]

What Time Zone is that 9-10 for Hereos? Eastern or Central

[Superboy2]

And what is the day it starts?

The show looks cool, but the some of the powers seem lame. Paint the future? What's the glass power? Like in SV S5 that guy who could bend glass? Stopping time is cool. Teleportation and indestructible. Flight. Telepath. What's the 8th power? I was hoping one or two would have more than 1 power. Maybe these aren't the only people with powers. My guess is not. I was hoping for a Pyro or Iceman type guy, or a Superman esque strength or speed. Maybe even a Magneto or a Colossus. Maybe they should just make an X-men show as well.

[CallMeClark]

I know! So excited! And the male Kryptonian that came out of the Spaceship is in HEROS! :)

[Superboy2]

He is?

[CallMeClark]

Yeah, he is one of the stars. :) Check out the list of actors.

[KryptonianIdiot]

This is the show I'm most looking forward to in the new season.

[CallMeClark]

Me too. It reminds me of X-Men a lot. :)

[Another-One]

http://www.nbc.com/NBC_First_Look/Heroes/

I dont know what you guys think but this show looks pretty rad.

It has lots of potential.

P.S. Theres a trailer you can click on and see.

[cxianet]

This show looks incredible. I'm going to watch it when it comes on and pray that it doesn't change timeslots to something that I'm already a huge fan of.

[CallMeClark]

WOW! It looks really good! I also hope it stays on Monday because I do not watch any other shows that night!

[vyperman7]

This show does look pretty damn good. I was hoping to see someone that would have super strength though. It is always great to see that power used. The scenes with the guy who thought he could fly were awesome. Looking forward to this show.

[CallMeClark]

The only power I don't like is the guy who paints and it comes to life. But I assume that, him being forced to paint a nuclear explosion will set up the arc for the season.

I also don't like the split personality girl. All the others look cool.

No he paint's the future...

anyways the show looks good
but now i have to decide between Runaway and Heroes!

PS - I don't think it looks the the 4400 at all

His painitings don't bring the future to life. From what I saw in the preview the guy can tell the future and his paintings are an outlet for him to tell what happens.

[KryptonianIdiot]

That trailer was absoulutely incredible. I can't wait for this show.

[luthorsmentor]

it does look pretty good. hope that girl doesn't run around in that cheerleader outfit all the time though.

[CallMeClark]

Oh, well, same difference... I just found it a bit boring... I also hope some of the characters turn out to be the "bad" guys.

They'll probably get costumes eventually.

[<Adam Knight>]

The clip was really good!! thanks for posting it

[PATMAN]

looks great...i think the bad guy may be peters bro, nathan or something...the cab driver seemed intresting

[CallMeClark]

I like the cheerleader (kind of like Wolverine's ability) and the guy that can levitate.

[F-Stop Blues]

Is that guy able to fly though? Because wasnt he shown in the trailer jumping off the roof of a building?

[Yuui]

I am interested, but hopefully it doesn't lead to a bunch of superhero TV dramas.

And god, I hope it's better than Lost, as really don't like that show.

[CallMeClark]

Why would it lead to a whole bunch of superhero dramas? It is the only one this fall.

[Shadow116]

I think this show'll be great. :)

[CallMeClark]

I can't wait!!! :)

[SVDad]

Looks like Jeph Loeb and Greg Beeman from SV will be working on this show

[CallMeClark]

Yeah. The male Kryptonian is in the show.

[yellowqueen22]

It looks very interesting. I hope it isn't bogged down by the high concept of the show.

[CallMeClark]

I think at the very least it will start out with a lot of viewers due to all the movies with the superhero hype.

[yellowqueen22]

The trailer is great. I'm so happy that Milo is starring in a show that will get viewers... and it does look like he's the closest they've got to a main character (given that it is very ensemble based).

[Superboy2]

I only saw the guy(I'm noy sure if hes Japanese or Chinese) stopping time. It looks cool though.

[CallMeClark]

I think he can teleport. Although I could be wrong. I also saw the commercial where he stops time...

[Another-One]

He doesnt stop time, or have any powers that deal with time. If you watch carefully, the exact time it seems the clock stops in one place, is the same time he ends up in another.

He's a teleporter. Think Alicia. :)

[CallMeClark]

So I was right. Yay! :)

[erratikmind]

You can view the previews at http://www.heroes-forum.com

[Superboy2]

No, the teleporter is the guy thats in jail. The Chinese or Japanese guy stops time, the clock stopped. It also says on the official description that a guy in jail finds himself out of his cell. It also says either a Japanese or a Chinese guy stops time by willpower.

[erratikmind]

yup most likely DL who is the prison inmate will be a bad guy

[Superboy2]

Who says he will be bad? Maybe at first, but then he will realize that he has a nex chance to do some good.

[CallMeClark]

(Milo is from Smallville? I thought he was on Gilmore Girls...)

I don't think that is true though. I saw another preview of the Japenese guy teleporting from Japan to NYC Times Square.

Here is proof also:

Look here on NBC's site: http://www.nbc.com/NBC_First_Look/Heroes/

It states: In Japan, a lowly office worker can teleport at will

[MidgardDragon]

I'm confused. Has this had it's series premiere yet? All NBC.com says is Mondays 9/8 central, but I thought it hadn't premiered yet. If I tune in this Monday will I be watching episode 1, or will it be episode 2, 3, what?

[Superboy2]

It hasn't come yet, its this fall. Why would the Japanese guy stare at the clock as if he can stop time, yet hes a teleporter. It says on SHH that there is a comic book Japanese geek who can stop time at will.

[MidgardDragon]

Yeah, clearly the guy who was staring at the clock can stop time. The clock jumped back a second. Even if he can't stop time, he can clearly teleport back in time if his power's teleportation, because otherwise the clock hand wouldn't have skipped back a second. I think people are confusing two different people though. There must be a teleporter and a guy who can stop time.

[Superboy2]

Was that guy Korean maybe? I think theres only 1 Japanese guy, who stops time at sheer will. The guy in prison is the teleporter, and the comic book Japanese guy is the guy who stops time. It says on Superherohype.

[CallMeClark]

Did you not got to the link I supported? It is living proof.

I believe NBC is more reliable then SuperheroHype.

[Another-One]

:rotfl:

Yep, but some people are just ignorant.

[KSiteTV]

I've seen the pilot, and it seems that the Japanese guy can "bend time and space."

I really recommend anyone who is here and going to Comic Con, to go to the Heroes panel...

[CallMeClark]

So maybe what you are saying is that his powers are far more than just teleporting? I agree.

[KSiteTV]

Yeah, it it's a lot more than teleporting. It's like he bends time and space to reach his goals.

Also, I saw someone posted this earlier in the thread but I want to reiterate the good news - both Jeph Loeb and Greg Beeman, who used to work on Smallville, will be working on this show. Jeph wrote some of the show's best episodes (like Red and Insurgence) and Beeman, of course, did some of the show's best season finales and premieres.

[CallMeClark]

Wow. Then this show should not be half bad.

[Superboy2]

I think there is a guy that can teleport, and a guy that can stop time at will. Why would one character have 2 separate powers? I'm confused.

[CallMeClark]

Yes but teleporting and bending time can relate to how he controls time and space.

[Another-One]

Yes, teleporting would be the same as bending space and time.

Think of it this way; the shortest distance between two points is a strait line, right? Everyone pretty much knows that. Well, its not. :) A ------ B

If you were able to bend space and time so that A and B would occupy the same space and time, you would essentially be able to "teleport" from A to B in an instant. A B

[MidgardDragon]

I think the confusion comes from the power. Normally when you think teleportation, you simply think of someone poving from point A to point B but not having any control over time. When you think of someone controlling time you think of someone who can travel back and forth through time.

The ability to "bend space in time" would include both, and in my opinion, is a much better explanation for teleportation than your standard "I can appear then reappear!" non-explanation.

[CallMeClark]

Yes but then does this character actually "teleport?" Now this is getting more confusing. They should have stuck him with one power. :p

[MidgardDragon]

His power isn't teleportation, it's "bending space and time." Using the logic of Another-One, which is sound IMO, then yes, he can teleport. He just bends space and time to make point A and point B overlap.

So Beeman isnt working on Smallville anymore?

[Summers]

Yup, Beeman now works on Heroes. He no longer works on SV.

[CallMeClark]

No more Beeman? Hm... did he have any "classic" SV moments?

[Shadowlord367]

MM Im pumped for this

[kcox6751]

I cannot WAIT for this show.

[F-Stop Blues]

Oh... I wonder whose running the show now, i guess its Marshall. Anyway Im excited for this show to but i still think its a carbon copy of the 4400.

[MidgardDragon]

How so? There's no people from the future, afaik. No abductions. No "saving the future." It's just people who wake up one day with powers.

[CallMeClark]

But it could be said that The 4400 is a carbon copy of X-Men...

[MidgardDragon]

Yeah, if we're calling all groups of superheroes ripoffs, then they're all carbon copies of each other.

Justice League, Fantastic Four, X-Men, The 4400, Heroes. They're all very different, in one way or another.

[CallMeClark]

I agree with you, Dragon.

[erratikmind]

at http://www.heroes-forum.com

The first episode is on there and previews for the series, etc.

[kcox6751]

Nice forum, I joined. ;)

[vyperman7]

I just saw the Pilot on YouTube.

I have to say that it did not really blow me away. The show has a great premise, and a lot of potential. But overall I was kind of dissapointed.

Some of the abilities in this show are kind of lame. A guy who can paint the future, but only when he is high? A woman whose ability involves mirrors and her reflection? Where did they come up with crappy abilities like that? Also, I really like the Hiro character, but his ability of teleportation/bending time/space seems pretty useless to me. Unless they go the route of having him teleporting people out of dangerous situations.

The few characters I did really like were the cheerleader who is invulnerable, and the story with the two brothers Peter/Nathan that involved flying.

The rest of the Pilot was pretty slow moving, and as I said some of the abilities on this show are pretty lame. I will keep watching because as I said the show has a great premise and a lot of potential.

I am just hoping that it gets better than the Pilot was. Overall I would probably give it like a 6 or 7/10. I guess I was mainly letdown because of how hyped up it was, and how so many people said it was amazing. It just wasn't in my opinion.

[CallMeClark]

I also saw the Pilot but have to say as a Pilot it was good. It is hard to rush right into all this action. We need time. They say eventually the characters will meet and become a team/friends. I am excited.

Although I do agree the painting and double personality ability is boring. And who will be the villian?

[kcox6751]

The villain? SPOILER ALERT!!!The producers have said it's Claire's (the indestructible cheerleader) adoptive father, who they showed once in the pilot. They call him HornRimmedGlasses, or HRG.

[CallMeClark]

Does he also have special powers?

This is part of what made the pilot so interesting to me. The powers were not fully explained and did not entirely made sense... not even to the characters themselves. I think a big part of this show's story will be how their powers develop and how they learn more about their power & how to use their power. From the pilot episode, this show seems to be character driven... and what better way to explore these characters then to force them to come to terms with these rather odd powers???

I really loved the pilot!!!

Still though. I can't imagine powers involving mirrors/reflection and painting the future being anymore interesting even with more depth and explanation. They are just lame, boring, powers. The thing that bugged me the most was that the guy could only paint the future when he was high. They should have just had the power be accessible at anytime. Having to watch the guy shoot up everytime he wants to see the future is kind of annoying, and even if they don't show it each time, he has a good chance of winding up dead from an overdose.

There are still some characters that have not yet been introduced like a guy in prison who can teleport through walls, and Greg Gunberg's character who can hear people's thoughts. I have heard they will introduce these in the second episode and both of those powers are far more interesting.

Like I said, the show does have a lot of potential and a great premise. I just didn't find the Pilot to be all that great. Hopefully things pick up when all the characters gravitate towards one another.

[kcox6751]

I agree with you Ryan, those are totally lame powers. The mirror power kind of got me thinking...

maybe the producers WANT us to think these are weird. Maybe they're actually planning something bigger. I bet there powers will evolve to something greater. I'm thinking Niki's power will become something really cool.

Just a thought. :)

I hope so Kyle.

But, they do have a few more characters they can introduce. I am a huge Alias fan so it will be cool to see Greg Grunberg as a character in the show, and I am also looking forward to learning about the guy in prison who can teleport through walls.

What I am hoping is that the central villain plays a Magneto type of character trying to gather various people with powers that won't use them for good. The show would definately get better if it had a modern day X-Men type of feel.

[CallMeClark]

The male Kryptonian from Smallville will also appear.

My point was more that we really don't know the extent of his powers because he doesn't know the extent. He may only be able to access his powers now when he is high because he is just discovering them.

But this is more of a difference of opinions. I'd rather have character development and interesting treatment of super powers, then really fancy super powers.

[kcox6751]

Character development and interesting treatment is good. For me, it just goes hand in hand with the powers themselves being somewhat interesting. :D

The powers don't have to be fancy, but they should at least be interesting enough to catch the interest of the fans. A power involving mirrors and painting the future while getting high does not strike high on the interesting list for me.

The best scenario is when they can take a good power, and still give it serious development and thought so you get the best of both worlds.

He also played Forrest(Riley's friend) on Buffy too.

I'm waiting until it premieres on television. There is reason why I have a HD tv set :lol:.

[MidgardDragon]

Am I confused? I was under the assumption the "pilot" that you can download is Episode 1.0, and the "pilot" that will come on TV is going to be episode 1.1, a brand new episode. So I think you'll be safe watching them both, Summers.

[vyperman7]

The Pilot that will be airing on NBC September 25th is the one you can see on youtube now. It was simply leaked early.

[MidgardDragon]

Oh, alright. I thought they had released a "prelude" episode. I think I'll wait for it to come to TV too, then. Nothing like watching a Pilot for a good show, commercials and all. :P

[Summers]

The only time I use You Tube for episodes is if I previously watched them, and I don't have them on dvd :lol:. I rather the first experience of any episode be on tv *shrugs*.

[CallMeClark]

Youtube has a lot of interviews, which I enjoy! I just watched the SMG Fanatic one where she cried. Aww. ;)

I bet D.L. Hawkins will be a villian as well. He is good as baddies.

[Summers]

You Tube is great, but I'm just talking about episode viewing solely lol. I use You Tube on a daily basis.

[MidgardDragon]

Just to offer an exact opposite opinion: YouTube is awful, there are much better sources for video, including Google Video, MetaCafe, and MySpace. YouTube is notorious (Google Video is almost as bad, though) for taking down "copyright violations" even when no one has complained. Their version of "copyright violations" includes fan music videos, some trailers, and some "montages" that fans have put together of their favorite scenes from some shows. I've never had anything taken down from Myspace or MetaCafe, so I highly recommend them over YouTube any day.

[Summers]

I kinda like that they have a stricter rule on copyright violations. MySpace is notorious for having credibility issues :\. The fanmade things I watch for my shows I haven't seen any trouble except when comes to SV. Which doesn't bug me since I don't look for SV on You Tube :lol:. But whatever floats your boat ;).

I just rather watch an episode for the first time on a tv set then a PC.

[CallMeClark]

I have to agree with Summers. I think it is a good thing.

[MidgardDragon]

I have to disagree once again, it is hardly a good thing unless they learn to stick to actual copyright violations and not just go willy-nilly on any little thing they see. Their main problem is that they aren't consistant. You can find whole episodes that remain on the site for a year or more, then you see fan vids removed? It's been enough to drive me to never use YouTube unless I can't find what I'm looking for elsewhere (which is almost never.)

[Summers]

I rather have something be inconsistent than something that has credibility issues :\. The only fanvids I see removed are SV ones. All the others shows I watch that have fanvids aren't removed. Like I said whatever floats your both besides this is going off-topic :\.

[MidgardDragon]

Err, MetaCafe and Google Video have no credibility issues. As for MySpace, the thing that it is best used for is uploading your videos then distributing them elsewhere, there's really no way to not be credible in those circumstances.

I'd rather something be consisten, honestly. One can work around credibility issues (but I'd really love to hear what issues you're talking about, because I dunno what you mean) but inconsistency is ominpresent.

[Summers]

Um, I'm not going to since this is going off-topic :lol:. I don't need to back-up my opinion on this unnecessary, unrelated manner in a thread that deals with a tv show.

[MidgardDragon]

I don't need to back-up my opinion.

:/ No comment, carry on. *withdraws far far away from this topic*

[Summers]

I don't need to back up my opinion since all it will do is further the off-topic discussion. I'm just following the forum guidelines :\.

[CallMeClark]

When is the premiere date again for HEROES?

[Summers]

Ryan, said Sept. 25th.

[k18]

I heard this show is pretty good (from the critics who saw it already). I can't wait to see it myself. Monday nights on NBC are going to be good with Heroes and Studio 60.

[CallMeClark]

Well I will skip out of S60 but I am going to give HEROES a try since the whole X-Men hype led into it.

[Superboy2]

Is is at the same time as Prison Break?

[k18]

Heroes will come on at 9pm Mondays.

[F-Stop Blues]

there's an interview with one of the heroes over at Superherohype.com. Its one of the girls. I cant remember which one.

[MidgardDragon]

Well if it's one of the girls that pretty much leaves the Unbreakable one and the one with the weird double-personality thing.

[Shadowlord367]

i know you finished with the youtube discussion, but has anyone else ever found youtube to have poor picture quality?

The pilot will be free to download from iTunes on September First, claims a commenter on a promotional clip on YOuTube

The Pilot being on Itunes is for real. I'm gradually getting more and more excited about this show. I still like the 4400 better but I'll give this show a shot.

[Luthorities]

This looks like it could actually be a decent show...

[Randy G.]

I'm really gonna' have to try to watch this. It might be pretty good.
I got a free download card for it, when I went to see Hollywoodland. I tried to redeem it online, & they were asking me to register,
wanted my full address & phone number, and even a credit card number and a bunch of crap.
How stupid. :rolleyes:
Needless to say, I just threw it away. I'll wait till it comes on tv. Lol! :lol:

Love the site Craig!!! I will be visiting often. :)

I have seen the first part of the pilot, and thought i was slow moving but overall it was good. The ending made up for it. Hopefully the second half will be even better. So far my favorite characters are Pete, Hiro, and Claire. As was previously stated, it was a ton of potential and i will be watching every week.

Feel free to keep chatting here too if you want... I'd have set up a Heroes section/topic here on K-Site if it wasn't "competing with myself."

[yellowqueen22]

Don't forget that Heroes premieres tonight!!!

[MidgardDragon]

I know I haven't. I've already set aside everything else, so all my friends know to leave me alone between 9 and 10 PM tonight. :O

[Lexgirl33]

Wow i just watched the pilot! AMAZING!!! :D I loved how they are all connected somehow! I can't wait to find out.

Does anyone know if they have promo images?

[wheresthefig]

That was an amazing pilot episode. Deffinately worth watching.

[F-Stop Blues]

I liked the pilot. The next couple of weeks look cool. The Japanese guy and the guy that may be able to fly are my favorite.

[Teller]

So next Monday is when episode 2 is on?

That's the plan.:)

[Teller]

Ok, Cheers.

[biym6969]

if the guys japanese then why did the clock had chinese symbols on it???

[Lexgirl33]

Ha I know, my mom was pointing that out aswell

[Skywalker]

Awesome pilot.

Peter's definitley my favorite character. They handled the flying effects pretty well on a TV budget. And I liked how they showed all the characters are connected like Lost. The Japanese guy was pretty funny too.

Most hillarious moment was the two Japanese kids singing karaoke to that Backstreet Boys song. Not sure if its the same guys but if it is I cant belive they got famous off of this, LoL:

[Lexgirl33]

:rotfl: that was definatly hilarious! You can tell they can't really speak english well by the way their mouths move :lol: :lol:

[MidgardDragon]

Speculation: Do you all think that the teacher/now cabby is going to be like a Professor X sort of figure to these people? That's the vibe I got off of him, like he is going to be the most knowledgeable about their powers and will (maybe) bring them together and mentor them.

[Shadowlord367]

I got this show free on itunes. great pilot!!

[superhippie2000]

i like that japanese guy he was funny. and teleporting himself to the girls bathroom lol.

and that stripper lady that was weird her mirror like killed her pimps or something. that would have been cool to see. and the kid who played her son was on my wife and kids playing a brainiac too. poor kid only 12 years old or so and is being type casted.

ya i think something will come around to him trying to help the super powered people and help them figure out the reasons and stuff. maybe he will do something like make a new version of comics like dc has the justice league and marvel has the avengers maybe this will be a new brand of comics and will be a new group. im kind of wondering about the comic books tho. in the trailer for the season it showed the japanese guy looking at a book with him on it. is the indian guy the writer of these comics or is there someone out there writing comics and he has the power to make what he writes comes tru.

They were actually from the mob, she owed the mob 25 grand that she borrowed to get her kid into that private school, and I don't think stripper's have pimps. :P

As for the kids, yeah, I remember him playing a brainy kind on My Wife and Kids too, but I'm sure if he's still acting when he grows up he'll find some different roles.

Nah the vibe I got was that hes just trying to prove his father wasn't a crackpot. He wants to track these "Heroes" down and see for himself.

[MidgardDragon]

I'm pretty sure he already knew his Dad wasn't a crackpot, after all he was teaching lessons that made him "sound like his Father". He'll definitely have a larger role than just the estranged son.

[warriorrenegade]

I meant to other people that his father wasn't a crack pot.

o maybe i missed the mob thing thought they were pimps lol. i knew she got money from them but i probably should have known cause pimps dont loan out money. some strippers have pimps to get them gigs at parties and stuff and since its online maybe he set her up on the site. maybe they are called something different. but your probably right lol.

[MidgardDragon]

Yeah, they're definitely from the mob. When she takes her kid to that other girls house they talk about her taking money from the mob and that she better either get them the money or run. Of course they didn't know she had a super evil twin hidden in the mirror or whatever. :O

[Khyla]

I watched the premiere last night and thought it seems like it could be a really good show. Actually. i missed the beginning. someone called me up and told me i'd probably like this new show that's on. I can't say how it compares to other shows, because the only other TV i watch is SV .

But something that was said in it likened it to some interesting stuff i'd been reading on the internet under the name of "the Indigo Children" and "Chidlren of the Sun". Has anyone else gotten that idea?

[RedPhoenix23]

Ack. I thought the pilot was boring and I didn't find any of the discussions realistic enough for my taste. And who the hell has dreams about flying and actually takes them seriously? Maybe if they displayed him in Smallvillish moment and showed the guy wake up "floating" over his bed then crash back down once he realised what was happening or something like that.

[KSiteTV]

Just telling you guys, without going into spoilers, episodes 2 and 3 are great. Look for some big surprises!

[rae19780625]

I actually really liked this show, Athena :mad: I thought it was very cool :D I look forward to watching the next episode... :)

" Kanji are the Chinese characters that are used in the modern Japanese logographic writing system along with hiragana, katakana, and the Hindu-Arabic numerals. "

^^^^ that would explain it then. Thanx for clarifying that up for me.

[Khyla]

no, no... there are lots of websites and articles about it. here's one i just pulled up in a google search:
http://www.psyr.com/utility/showArticle/?objectID=598

[yellowqueen22]

I'm enjoying watching again on the actual TV, instead of the pre-released online version of the pilot. A few things have changed such as the font for the titles and the majority of the music.

I love that the 9th Wonders rock man is on Hiro's computer screen at his office and on Micah's comic book.

[Exodus2000]

I just watched it, and I thought it was very good......except for that 1 part Athena described. Yes, I have dreams about flying frequently....Iam NOT going to jump of a building tho.

Look forward to episode 2 tho

[yellowqueen22]

LOL... apparently his dreams were very vivid. Seriously though... something got the cheerleader to start testing herself.... just because you think you are invincible would you really stab yourself, jump off buildings, run through fire, etc. And if you think you can fly, would you jump off a building. If you think you can change space and time, would you really stare at a clock all day trying. Obviously there is something calling all these people to believe they are extra-ordinary... call it fate or destiny... something seems to be at work.

[superhippie2000]

well i think the cheerleader was suicidal so when she tried to kill herself it didnt work so she tried another way and realised that nothing can kill her so i guess she just started to do it for the same reason people cut themselves or something.

the guy jumping off the building i dont think i would do that. maybe his dreams were so claer and had a feel that made him want to try but for me even if i knew it would be ok i would still be worried and not do it. id probably start low.


maybe the japanese guy was bored and thats why he was staring at the clock. plus he enjoys comics and when most people want strength or speed or to fly he wanted to control time.

but ya i think there is something that is making them feel the need to keep doing it over and over to see what they can do.

[<Adam Knight>]

i liked the pilot alot!! all the powers are sooo cool and i cant wait to see what happens on monday!

[yellowqueen22]

The preview for upcomming weeks looks amazing... actually taking the show in a direction I wasn't entirely anticipating. I'm really excited!!!

[warriorrenegade]

For those who missed the episode Its airing again on the Sci-Fi channel , 8pm I think.

[<Adam Knight>]

and i think at nbc.com they show it

[MidgardDragon]

Yep, you can watch the episode in it's entirety for free at NBC.com

[boywithbluehanger]

I enjoyed the first episode. Although I'm pretty sure it won't completely fill the Live Action-Sci Fi/Superhero show void I'll have once Smallville ends.

Why cant superpowered people make non-cheesy uniforms and fight crime on Live-Action prime time TV?? There must be some unspoken law against it in this century. (Well maybe Fox's "The Tick" is reason enough for me to not ask questions like that but then again, that was more of a comedy sitcom.)

Writers and TV station executives are pansies, they need to learn that superheroes need some sort of cool uniforms. I'm done ranting...err umm...for now :D

Heroes definitely has potential either way. I'm already thinking that the one brother that thought he could fly actually can fly but is going to be convinced that his dreams were only regarding to his brother's new found ability.

[F-Stop Blues]

I wanted to point out the the episodes may re air on Bravo. I've noticed that they've done that with both Heroes and Studio 60, since NBC owns Bravo.

[biym6969]

TONITE IS AN ALL-NEW EPPY OF HEROES, DON'T FORGET PEOPLE!!!

just one question though>>>did heroes replace medium?

[warriorrenegade]

Heroes airs also on the USA network. So its NBC, SciFi and USA. I hope they don't oversaturate the market with this show or it'll end up being the "Who wants 2 b a millionaire" of the scifi world.

[Novak Fan]

I saw the pilot episode and I love it :D definitively I want more from this show. Even I gonna make some icons! :lol: I thought that all the characters are cool, but the one that really have me to know more about her ability is NikKi. That "power" is a scary one

[F-Stop Blues]

So new ep tonight and it's also the debut of Greg Grunberg's character.

[<Adam Knight>]

cant wait for tonighT!!!!

[Novak Fan]

About that , too bad that it's only in U.S.A., I tried to saw the pilot in the NBC site and I couldn't because where I live :(
I saw it in other place though

[vyperman7]

I am still not sure about this show.

I was hoping that the second episode would be better. But it still wasn't that great. They spent so much time recapping the Pilot, that the episode didn't really provide that much development. So far the show moves at such a snail's pace in terms of development and telling the story. I get that they want to stretch it out for the whole season, but this is ridiculous. I am hoping that this show gets better because I really do want to like it.

I really dislike the storyline with Nikki. Her character doesn't really add anything to the show and her ability consists of having a killer reflection. Just really lame.

The only two storylines of interest they have are Claire being the foster daughter of the show's main villain and the storyline with Peter/Nathan and the flying. Hiro seems like a cool character but they still really haven't had time to truly develop his character.

What a letdown in terms of Greg Grunberg's character. I was hoping to see some development with the character but all they offered was him locating the girl and being arrested. So far I am really not liking the set up of the show (trying to cover so many characters at once) because it makes the show feel jumbled. What would be great is if it followed the format of Lost by focusing on one character primarily while covering the story as a whole. It is frustrating as a viewer because it feels like just as they are about to tap the surface with one character they have to move onto another one.

Please let this show get better! I am hoping that once they finally gravitate towards each other that the show will get better.

I loved the 2nd episode better then the 1st one i think, and the last scene totaly left me wondering.

I understand the complaints, but I don't think it is a flaw of the show, rather I think it is a deliberate choice, which some will like and some will hate. I personally love the slow serialized form they are taking. Rather than throwing us into the middle of a huge battle or into waves of character development, they are slowly introducing us to each character.

The only problem with this format is that some characters, at least at this point, are more interesting than others. Certainly Nikki is by far one of the more frustrating characters, perhaps because she seems to have no control over anything, but from all the interviews this seems to be intentional. We are supposed to be confused and frustrated by her and her powers.

As for the other characters, I find them all fascinating and for the most part likeable. For me, I love TV & movies primarily for character development, everything else comes secondary. And this show is taking its time to develop incredibly rich and three dimensional characters. So far I'm still loving this show!!!

[superhippie2000]

ya i like the show to but i do agree they took like 15 minutes shwoing us stuff we already saw. the ending was a shock cause the whole time you think that guy is just a teleporter but he is not he is like a time traveler. i wonder if eventually they will have you go back to that indian guys dad before he dies and save him or something. i think those parts with the dead people with there brains removed was pretty cool. kind of graphic for a tv show tho. and the stripper lady is confusing cause she blacks out and her mirror image sets things up for her to finish or something but it seems like she does nothing cause the mirror image does it for her when she thinks she has to do it. i like learning abouyt the characters like they do on LOST but on LOST you get one story at a time with interactions from the other people when in this you get everyones stories at once and have them interact. right now we are just learning about the characters finding out about there powers im sure when we get them all meeting each other and them controlling there powers we will see more action and more combat rather then dead people and not seeing them attacked.

[k18]

This show is awesome. The second episode was better than the pilot, IMO. My favorite characters so far are Mohinder, those flying brothers (Pete and his brother), and Claire. Hiro is pretty funny and his power is awesome (whether it be teleportation or time traveling). That Nikki character has me intrigued because I don't know what is going on when she's on screen. They didn't show much of Greg Grunberg's Matt but from what I saw, I like. The slow progress of the show doesn't have me worried. It has me wanting more.

[superhippie2000]

o ya i also like it how they are making the show kind of like a comic book. like showing at the begining like the new chapter of the comic and stuff like that. i like how they make it comic book like.

That space time continu-um thing is gonna be handy for being discovered without a green card. Lets just hope he can use it to go back and get innoculations after he catches something.

[ginnyfan]

I'm so excited about this show... I'm hoping to see it for the first time next Monday. Sounds really good!

[A Magician]

I'm beginning to wonder and this can be just me thinking too much. Anyway, i'm wondering if the one brother can steal other people's powers.. maybe he's like Rogue except he doesnt hurt the other person. He did mention that he had some sort of connection with his brother. Perhaps he can do that with other people..

ya but i guess the explosion was just show what the hereos need to stop in the future but it never showed how or why and all of that plus it was kind of like damn thats early in the show to have all this happen then its like damn that dude can time travel so that threw a lot of people off. i wonder if that druggy made the comic book of that guy for more drugs.

i think they just have the same power. i mean the scientist guy said the powers are like in the dna and stuff and evolve and the brothers have the same dna so they probably can both get the same power. would be intresting if he can mimic other peoples powers guess we need to wait and see how he is around the other heroes when they meet.

Seriously? I'm shocked and a little disappointed. I was hoping that he could fly for real, but I guess absorbing other people's powers isn't that bad of a power. He's like Rogue from X-Men. Basically, he can get any power he wants with a single touch. Pretty cool.

[sirconical]

When that guy teleported to New York in the future and read that comic, was it really a prediction? It had already happened, sort of. It was the future after all.

You know the villian? When he comes on the screen does anybody else sort of expect to hear "Hi. My name is Troy MaClure, you might remember me from such films as..."???

[MidgardDragon]

I just keep wondering why the heck Tom Arnold is in the show. I swear in the right light they are twins, so someone please keep him in the wrong light!

[Randy G.]

Woo-hoo! I just watched episodes 1 & 2, and I'm hooked. :)
I must say, 2 hours went by much too quickly for me. I was thoroughly entertained. :p

I'm not sure if it's a blessing or curse, but when I'm seeing a tv show or a movie for the first time,
I tend to watch it from a fresh perspective, and not over-analyze it.
I think you have to disconnect, and just watch something for what it is. Fantasy entertainment.
I don't try to compare it to other things I've seen, I don't try to pick out the flaws, I don't do "mental rewrites", as if I could do it better.
I just take a break from reality, and immerse myself in the storyline. That's just how I do it though.
Of course everyone is entitled to their own way of looking at things.

I'm just thankful that this really works for me. I'm rarely disappointed, & always entertained. Lol! :lol: ;)

I found the shows' characters to be very interesting, and their connections with each other, to be intriguing.

I'm anxiously counting the days to episode 3.

Is it Monday yet? :cool:

wow i guess that person above was semi right lol. that is a big shock.

[Tempus]

In what can only be called one of the more idiotic bit of news regarding “Heroes”, appliance maker Emerson has sued the producers of “Heroes” and NBC for a scene in the show’s pilot where Claire sticks her hand in Emerson’s In-Sink-Erator garbage disposal in yet another attempt to test her near-invulnerability. What does Emerson want? Apparently to keep NBC from rebroadcasting the pilot, along with that scene.

From Zap2It:

Emerson’s suit claims the scene “casts the disposer in an unsavory light, irreparably tarnishing the product” by suggesting that serious injuries will result “in the event consumers were to accidentally insert their hand into one.”

The suit, however, is more about NBC’s use of the In-Sink-Erator name than the content of the scene, the company says. “It’s a trademark thing,” spokesman Dan Callahan tells the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

NBC hasn’t commented on the suit.


Can You believe this? This is the most idiotic thing ive ever heard!!

[superhippie2000]

ya i know sheesh i hate when people sue for no reason. i mean come on its a show and they arent implying that it was only that garbage disposal that will chop off you hand or anything. i mean lots of people in real life probably had that happen and i know on supernatural and iother movies peoples hands got chopped up in them so i dont get it. its like sueing cause your coffee is too hot.

plus shouldnt this topic just be in the main hereos thread cause they said one per show. guess it dont matter tho if they need to they will just stick this in the other one

[CallMeClark]

The source came from the latest TVGuide magazine. I think it is awesome! He has the best power.

When he was around Isaac he saw premonitions of himself flying, which I guess would be him using Isaac's power to see himself using his brothers power. Jesus, Milo! Self, self, self!

[<Adam Knight>]

i liked the eppisode alot!! I cant wait to find out what Ali Larter's (dont know characters name is) characters power is...looks very interesting

can someone help me with character names? thanks

[k18]

Ali Larter's character is named Nikki, I think.

[Novak Fan]

hey guys ! I just have seen the last episode and wow I love it. I love this show!!. It looks very cool at least this first episodes. You're right k18, Ali is Nikki. Also agree with you Adam Knight :D Nikki's power looks also kind of scary.
About the names, I still can't remember all. I remember Claire, Hiro, Nikki, Mica and Nathan. But the rest still can remember their names when I see them.

BTW if anyone know a cool forum exclusively for this show, please PM the link!! thanks :)

[Spoon AZ]

I hope they improve certain effects. The flights look pretty crappy and everything is pretty underwhelming visually except for Hiro's vision of the bomb.

[Novak Fan]

well...yeah. But still there wasn't a flight,flight. They where only floating. Peter asked that to his brother in the roof, he said "float" and not "fly" ;)

[Spoon AZ]

I like the show though. I'm intrigued by the characters and will stick around to see where they go with it.

As long as they don't delve into filler episodes and continue to move the plot every week I'll stay with it.

There's so many characters that I don't think they'll need to do fillers. And least not Smallville-esque fillers.

[terk]

jeez this show is awesome. I can definately see this becoming one of my favourite shows. Plus, it is so beautifully shot. THis show is going to be a real head turner.

[Radioflyer]

I'm interested enough to watch to see what happens next but I don't care about the characters. If any one of these Hero's were killed off it wouldn't bug me a bit. It's trailer trash rejects with super powers. The flying guy seems like a weenie who always looks like he's doing drugs or about to start. The only characters that's remotely likable is the Japanese guy and maybe the cheerleader.

[Novak Fan]

Well... there is only 2 episode that aired so far....so I guess no one is really attached to any of the characters yet. I don't know about likable but those two ^^^were the first ones that I memorized their names :lol: along with Ali Larte's...Nikki.

[sari_chem]

Hiro is really cool. I think he will be one of my favorites...and I'm glad his name rhymes withe "hero"...well, it's not really a rhyme, it's a homonym, but anyway, he's great.

This show really has me intrigued. I'd really like to find out what Nikki's power is. It's kind of freaky.

Hopefully, it will be a really good series.

I suppose you're better looking than all of them, courageous and wealthy?

I dont really like Nikki. I dont know why but I'm just that interested in her story. Hiro is my favorite by far.

sounds feasible.

either that, or she was part of some kind of experiment that her adopted dad knew about...then he adopted her to turn her to the dark side.

I'm really liking this show, and I appreciated that they gave a shot out to X-Men in the pilot because this show's premise is basically a rip off of Marvel's favorite mutants. I think they are handling the ensamble cast pretty well, and are creating a lot of mystery.

Hiro is my favorite, and I liked his interactions with his friend. :lol: The only thing about Hiro is he looks like he is about to crap his pants whenever he is using his powers... :rotfl:

My other favorite character is Mr. Muggles. ISN'T THAT RIGHT MR. MUGGLES!!!

[Randy G.]

Mr. Muggles was licking the blood up off the floor. :eek: :rotfl:
Bad Mr. Muggles! :lol:

yeah...It could be that Claire's father is Sylar, still we don't know if it's a "she" or a "he" thought this Sylar. But yeah.. maybe. Still i think that he work for the government ;) Claire's father I mean

:lol: that's true, but yep Hiro is the most popular one up to now. Ah Mr. Muggles !!! For a moment there I thought that Claire's mom will notice something hehehe :) yeah Randy...bad Mr. Muggles!

[vyperman7]

I personally think that Sylar hasn't been introduced yet. The message on the machine that Mohinder was listening to was from a person who is supposed to be patient zero who was the first person that was discovered with super abilities. Claire's father is taking too much of an interest in people with abilties to seem like he has them himself.

[Novak Fan]

I think that Sylar was the murderer of the family, when where they introduced us the police man that can read minds. And I think Sylar was the one that "murders" Isaac.

BTW anyone thought that Mohinder neighbor hides something? I do

[STFanatic]

I am loving this series.
JEPH LOEB is doing an awesome job on this, it gets better each week.

Mod Note: this thread will be merged with he main heros thread. Please keep one thread per one show.

[superhippie2000]

this new episode was cool and clair getting killed by that rapeist jerk and she was like cut open at the end. cant wait to see her get even with him. that japanese guy is still funny and now his friend believes him. i bet they are going to help that stripper girl. sylar seems like a mega super powered guy. he seems deadly.

is anyone good with editing videos cause you can probably find out who he is if you can zoom in real good and change the lighting.

[Insight]

I'm liking the suspense in the show. It really reminds me of Rising Stars (like that's not been said before). I don't think it will have a long run though. Maybe two seasons. Just doesn't seem to have that much story to tell.

[LuthorKent90]

What was up with Peter's brother
Nathan in the end. I didn't catch what he said to Peter and why he punched him.

[STFanatic]

He punched him because he told everyone at the press confrence that he tried to commit suicide.

[Randy G.]

He told everyone at the press fundraiser, that Pete tried to commit suicide. He wants to look like the big man that's holding the family together.
If I was Pete, I'd punch him too.

This show is so cool to follow. I can't wait until next week.
Some of them start to meet up. :)


*Ahhhh .... Steve beat me to it. Lol! :lol:

FINALLY a good episode of Heroes.

Tonight's episode was excellent. It wasn't bogged down by too much review of the previous episode like last week's and the development of each character this week was very well done. However, I HATE Nikki. I find her story to be boring, and she is the main thing hurting the show right now. The story always feels like it takes a step back when it goes to her, because it interrupts the development of the other characters. The ending to this week's episode with Claire on the autopsy table was awesome. Hiro is becoming more and more likeable with each episode. I also really like the fact that Hiro's friend is becoming involved in the story too. The friendship those two have cracks me up. I do wish they would give more development with Nathan and Peter though. There hasn't been nearly enough on the flying aspect of the show.

But this was the first episode that was actually good, and I hope the show continues on this path.

Awesome episode!

[CallMeClark]

This show is getting better and better! Last night's episode was great. A lot of action too!

Claire and Hiro's storylines interest me the most. When Hiro stopped timed to save the little girl it looked so awesome. I love that he isthe only one really loving and embracing his powers. I loved the ending with Claire on the autopsy table as well. "Holy Sh..." TO BE CONTINUED.

But the best thing about this episode had to be Syler. He scared the crap out of me. So he's basically a mutant hunter of sorts. And it seems he can both fly and control the movement of objects with his mind. Also, he and Claire's father have some connection?

I really don't think Nikki is hurting the show. I think they are building up to find her son's father, who IMO, will probable also have a special power.

The Nathan/Peter storylines is good too.

[RCD]

Has anyone thought about this concerning Nikki's powers:

In the pilot we saw her son reading a comic with a green monster on it. It was the same comic that Hiro read that involved him. Maybe Nikki'a alterego is the green monster.

I am thinking he has all the powers combined.
He took the bullets and got back up as well.

I rewatched last nights episode at NBC.com

I am just curious what makes you think Syler can fly? There was the guy who made the FBI agent put the gun to her head, and then he dissapeared, but it wasn't flight. Also, the guy that took the bullets and got up wasn't Syler in my opinion, if that is what you were basing the flight theory on.

According to TV.com, there is a FOTW in the show named D.L. Hawkins, who is an inmate that can transport himself through walls. He used these abilities to escaped from prison. Since the person dissapeared after being shot, my guess is that we were introduced to the DL character.

Coincedentally, DL is the name of Nikki's ex-husband. Now if Nikki has a so called ability, and her ex husband has powers, it makes you wonder if Mikah will have abilities too. They have already pointed out that he is extremely smart for his age.

I had been saying that Syler and Claire's father were two different people before this episode aired so it is cool to be right. :D A lot of people on the net were saying that Syler and Claire's father were one and the same.

Now I may be wrong in regards to DL being the guy who was shot. But that is the way that I took it. They also showed that black guy sitting in the bar staring at Matt when he passed out. Since DL is black, that could have been DL as well.

[<Adam Knight>]

OMG i loved this eppys soo much...

I wanna see what happens to Claire and where she is

[Shadow116]

I loved ep.3 as well can't wait for next weeke where they all start coming together :).

Oh Mohinder's neighbor is SOOO not who she claims to be. She is WAY TOO NICE. She is probably spying on him for someone. But yeah, I totally think she's not who she claims to be.

[Randy G.]

I thought the same thing about Eden (the neighbor girl).
She might have even had something to do with Mohinder's fathers death.
I don't think I trust her at all. :\

[biym6969]

this show is like Mutant X and X-Men.... i think the bad guy is probably going to be like the first ever person to have powers or something along those lines.

[F-Stop Blues]

ep 3 was far better than the first two. I'm glad that they've introduced the sylar character. That was pretty badass when he almost made the FBI shoot herself in the head. I got the impression that he has prof X type abilities but perhaps even more advanced since it looked like he was able to fly. As Ryan pointed out Nikki is by far the worst character on this show. Her storyline his just boring imo.

One thing I didn't quite get was the comic book that hiro is using as a guide. I thought last week the last panel of it was hiro sreaming I did it in Times Square? But in this week's ep it went up to them driving in the car, so when did those panels appear?

[Another-One]

I have a theory.

Sylar is Peter. How is that possible you ask?

Well, first off I believe Peter does NOT have the ability to fly, rather, he has the ability to mimic the powers of the Heroes around him.

That still doesn't explain how he's Sylar. Well, since he has the ability to mimic a person's powers, then it's possible that at some point he will run into Niki. Here's where it gets interesting. When he comes into contact with Niki, Peter too developes a dark side, Sylar. Once this dark side is established at some point he comes into contact with Hiro, and through his dark side, Sylar, eats his brains or what have you, Peter/Sylar now has the ability to manipulate time and has the Dark Side Niki has.

Since Peter/Sylar has the ability to bend time and space, he is able to get to all the people with abilities and essentially eats their brains or what have you to permanently absorb their powers. That is why when he encounters the FBI agent, he can take a bullet(Cheerleader), he can fly(Big Brother), and seemingly control a persons mind(The Cop who isn't completely developed yet).

This is all theory based on what we have seen so far. Tell me what you think. :)

[Randy G.]

Oh man, that's an interesting theory Aaron. :eek:
At this point, I'm not sure WHAT I think is going on yet. I think the next episode will start to clear a few things up (hopefully).
What I DO know, is that this may turn out to be one of this years best shows. :D

[<Adam Knight>]

yeah that is a very interwesting theory....wow

i agree randy...iw ill turn out the be the best show this year lol

yeah...interesting theory, in fact Sylar is Patient Zero. I don't know about Peter being Sylar but one thing we know like a fact, Sylar have telekinesis ability. ;)

BTW I LOVE this show, it's getting more interesting every episode. Hopes that they make more than the 7 episodes that are confirmed already.

No, last week's page was the same as this week, with the car pic and the Las Vegas board.

But someone that I'm starting to realize, the powers come from the brains. Mohinder talked about the 10% of brain that human use in the first episode. Last week, we saw that Syler steals brains and this week Claire "died" because of the piece of wood she had craved on her brain.

[Novak Fan]

Agree...the key is the brain ;)

Like I said, it's probably from the Cop who has yet to fully develop and control his powers.

[sstray72]

I'm loving this show so far. I missed what happened at the very end because my DVR stopped working though. :\

My theory on Sylar is that it is DL, the black guy who is Nikki's ex husband. He was in that bar when the cop got poisoned. But the theory that Peter is Sylar is awesome, I'm not sure if TV writers are smart enough to writh such a thing though. :lol:

I'm also wondering how they'll be able to continue this show past one season...
