Hero's

Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
in Zocalo v2.0
Anybody watching this new series? When I heard about it I thought it sounded too much like the 4400 but just watched the first episode and it looks very promising. Kinda like X-Men meets X-Files but seems like it could be a bit darker.

    I've been meaning to post a thread on this.

    Heroes is awesome. Awesome, writing, awesome, premise, awesome, acting, in short, awesome.

    If you haven't seen it yet, go to NBC.com, read the graphic novels to get the back story on the characters, watch the last full episode online, then watch this week. All the threads from the different characters appear to be coming together.

    The writing team hasn't let me down yet.

    I've been wanting to watch also, unfortunately school has limited my opportunity.

    Funny thing is the corporation I work for, Emerson, sued NBC for trademark infringment on that show. One of our divisions in In-Sink-Erator which makes garbage disposal. Apparently, there is a scene in which a woman gets her hand mauled by a disposer and the logo is readily visiable. The interesting thing is, NBC is of course owned by GE, which besides being a major competitor of Emerson's is also a major customer and supplier...

    That would be the Cheerleader.

    I’ll throw my endorsement to Hero’s too. This is one of the few shows left on my ‘must watch’ list given I’ve tired to cut back my TV time by about 75% to get some of my life back.
  • Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
    Yup its certianly got my attention! Good stuff so far.
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    I watched the first episode around Christmas and was instantly hooked. I'm still very impressed by the series so far.

    Also, did anyone notice George Takei at the end of yesterday's episode?

    Love that show. :)
  • Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
    This show rocks!!! The first epsiode back after the christmas break was superb.

    Really makes Lost look like a right pile of crap imo.

    Yup was cool to Captain Sulu :) Be good to see how his role develops.

    This is just my nitpicking, but it's [i]Heroes[/i], not [i]Hero's[/i]. :)

    I know that too.. Just didnt want to pour salt in the wounds. :P

    It's quite distracting tho.. Like calling villains villians or Magneto as MAgento or something like that.. I get grey hairs from the messageboards at superherohype.com..

    heh nice! didnt notice that, but its a nice touch :)

    i thought that was a great episode, especially the ending
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    I didn't notice that before but I went back to have a look...very amusing :D

    Heroes reminds me of JMS own superhero story/cartoon (Rising Star)
  • Lord RefaLord Refa Creepy, but in a good way
    Just watched the episode Company Man.. have to say I like this show even more..

    I think its hard to see who the villains are.. other than that one guy ofcourse.. I mean, Horn Rimmed Glasses guy aka Bennet (let some steam out) works for the seemingly bad guys but he's bound to be even more of a hero some day eventually..

    Anyways... Hope they dont turn this into Lost, but keep some sort of consistency on the show instead.
  • Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
    It certainly is a top show. The plots getting even more interesting now. As you said its not quite as clear cut now, i.e. good guys v bad guys. The end of that episode was really sad imo, really did feel for Mr Bennet.

    I dunno I am confident they can keep the quality levels up. As long as Tim Kring doesn't get grabbed to do X-Men 4 or something... He needs to stay focused on the show and not get disctracted. Otherwise it will be like Lost.
