Does Heroes live up to the hype?

THe only storyline I find interesting is the Japanese guy. It's cool and funny.

I find THe Congressman story line rediculous. He found out he can fly but doesn't have time to discuss it with his brother who can also fly??? And I really can't stand the guy who plays the younger brother.

The painter & his hot black girlfreind? she doesn't buy that he sees the future and he can't seem to form a coherent sentence to even try to explain or prove himself. & she likes the congressmans brother who looks like a scrawny 16 year old reject.

The Cheerleader.... fine, cool power. but do we really need a nerd + popular cheerleader highschool clique story???? There's enough of that crap in movies & TV as it is. Do I really care about that the girl who cannot be killed just wants to go to prom?

The Indian guy and the next dorr neighbor chick. I just don't care.

The Cop that can read minds... can't seem to find any interest.

I hope they can pull this show together. So far I find the character development kind of .... eh.

When they all get together at the hall of justice maybe it will get better.

Yeah, but the cheerleader's "dad" is the source of all evil; and it did have a pretty good ending. She came back to life, after having been cut open. I am still giving it time to see how it develops. I have seen much worse on network tv.

I'll agree to that.

And she is pretty cute. not accounting for the whole dead and split open part.

It's still got a few weeks to get me all in.

Jericho on the other hand is starting to get kinda stupid. Good parts too, but man some of those storylines...
 
OK. Thats more like it. A very good episode last might IMO. Starting to come together. I'm intrigued and the show has gotten me to the point where I am "Awww crap" when it's over and I'm already looking forward to next week.lets hope they keep up the good work.

Yeah, last night was pretty good. A great opening with the cheerleader. Cool special effects.

How is Hiro all of a sudden speaking perfect English?
 
I liked that when they were thrown out of the Casino they were thrown out of the Montecito, which is of course the casino from NBC's hit show Las Vegas.

It would have been funnier if Danny and Mike would have thrown them out though. :D

Great episode last night. Hiro is coming back from the future... Thus the theory that he probably spent time in the US and learned English (my 2 cents). I love this show....:up

I was thinking the same thing! LOL. I was watching the episode like I watch most TV...I was surfing the net... when I caught the logo on the back door. I had to rewind the episode to see the Montecito sign again.

As to Hiro knowing perfect English, it is very simple..he (Hiro) said it himself, "I'm from the future." He didn't say how far in the future, but by the length of his hair it has to be *at least* MONTHS.

I have been loving this show since week 2!

See ya

Heroes did pretty good this week:

"Two and a Half Men," 10.4/15, and "Old Christine," 8.7/13, moved CBS into the lead at 9 p.m. NBC dropped back to second with "Heroes," 7.8/11, which was the night's top show among adults 18-49. "The Bachelor" posted a 6.5/9 for ABC. A second "House" on FOX earned a 3.4/5, while The CW held steady with "Girlfriends" and "The Game."

I was not really interested at first, but the last episode + the preview for the next one really got my interest. It seems like the congressman's brother's ability is like Rogue's. He takes on the ability of the special people around him. The characters started to come together and there is going to be a purpose other than just everyone having special power.

I actually thought the stripper chick's ability is the least interesting. I am not even sure if you could call it an ability at this point. It is more like she has split personalities.

I agree about the stripper character now. Once it came out that she is not somehow splitting in two, but is instead blacking out and getting violent, well I have a cousin who has that superpower.
 
Stupid DENVER NBC affiliate... broadcasting Heroes in 4:3 widescreen. Never done it before. Ughh... The partial stretch is filling out the screen, but I am annoyed. :rolleyes:
 
In spite of the stupid Denver affiliate, I watched the show (for once there was actually better PQ on the Grand Junction OTA, but I was too late to record it) --- I have to say that I am just struggling to figure out the crazy stripper chick. The whole episode revolved around her, and it is still not clear to me what her purpose is.

And what happened there at the end? Did her husband put his hand through her stomach? I replayed that three times and still could not figure it out -- and was it HER or was it the nasty version of her?

I did like Hiro's "I can do a do-over!" His power would really be the ultimate mulligan on a golf course; except we ALL know what happens when you start messing with time (or maybe the writers aren't seasoned Star Trek fans) :D
 
It looks like the husband has powers too, he can actually go through walls and such. Some sort of night-crawler, that's what happened with his wife he was actually in her. his arm was embedded with her chest/stomach... Next week we will probably see more of him.

Good. That confirms what I thought I was seeing. :)
 
It is becoming very predictable... the side stories are painfully boring to seat through them.... I am two episodes away from dropping it.

I might be three episodes away :D Watching now.


And the DD2.0 with heavy LFE channel is really getting annoying. That might just be the Denver affiliate, but still annoying..

I don't watch it. I've tried but It jumps around to much to keep me focused

It is hard to stay focused. That is for sure.

I thought tonight's was better than last week's, but not by much. And for some reason my DVR ended before the show did. It ended with the kid hanging up the phone. Not sure how it ended.
