omg what a twist and awsome ending to episode 4 ><


damn i wish I had the time/space powers to see the next episode ^^;

Loving this series so far and tonight's episode was no disappointment.



I love this show. :)

Well, we don't exactly know the extent of Niki's abilities, now do we?

How do you know this?

I really liked tonight's episode. It gave us insight into almost everyone's power who hadn't already been clearly explained, and it managed to pack in a couple of surprises as well (yes, future Hiro ftw).

One thing I kinda didn't like about the episode though was how some of the heroes were using their powers for the wrong reasons. Niki was understandable, but Hiro and Claire didn't have to do it. Ultimately though, these people are still just humans, so it's not that surprising to see that they are using their abilities for personal gain.

Another thing I was disappointed in was the lack of focus on Matt's character. He was there for like the first two minutes or so, and then they never touched on him again for the rest of the episode. And just overall, the whole episode seemed kinda disjointed, like they would focus one person for about a minute and then spend five minutes on the next person. I know they have a lot of characters to focus on, but I think they could have handled things a little better than how they did (I doubt the show will be like this once they all come together).

D.L. is played by Leonard Roberts and Sylar/"Mysterious man" is played by Jimmy Jean-Louis.

What didn't really make sense was...

Regardless, one of my favourite shows this year. <3

Awesome episode, can't wait for the next one to show more awesome people and their abilities.

I'm really starting to believe in the idea that Niki has the whole Hulk thing going on. She can friggin tear people in half! Only difference is she doesn't turn green, doesn't grow 3 times her size, and doesn't lose complete control of herself.

Also, anyone have any idea what that marking was on her back..?

That's the same marking as found in Suresh's genetic code study (Mohinder said it's the way to find the supers in ep 2), Isaac's paintings (in future in ep 2), and on the mysterious guy's necklace.

Haha, how many entries does Hiro's blog have? I usually never bother looking at the character blogs and other extras shows put up on the web, but that entry gets an insane amount of props for all of the Chrono Trigger references.

I'm not sure that it's really an anger-triggered thing though. We've already seen her black out at least once without any sort of provocation when she was driving to pick up her son.

Major spoiler on Peter in future eps.

LOL

I know I am a little late. But I just finished watching the first episode, and I find it interesting. I will have to get a couple more episodes and watch them to see how much I like them.

ARGH! NBC.com is hosting Episode 4 on their site, but their archive is apparently missing part 5 (out of 6)! According to the spoiler tag conversation, I seem to have missed an actual display of Niki's power, as well as whatever leads up to that last subway scene. Part 4 leaves off with Peter pounding on the door to Isaac's apartment, and part 6 picks up with Isaac lying on the floor with several pieces of artwork about Claire completed.

Following certain revelations of tonight's episode, I believe I must update the Heroes/Powers List, which I've expanded to accomodate for villain characters and secondary characters as well.

Eh? I just looked (since a friend watched it on NBC.com a few hours ago and had no problem) and part 5 is up and working. You shouldn't have any problem with it.

Well, I'm there right now, and it is informing me "Video Not Found!" when I attempt to view part 5.

Oh, wait, it's working now. Cool. I was trying it as I was typing this, and it decided to work for me, so I'm off to watch that now!

EDIT: It's laggy as hell. I'll give it a bit of time to load/buffer, I guess.

I still have eps 2,3 ,4 up on sendspace... Links are in one of my previous posts here. And I think ep 2 and 3 are about to die if inactive for another day or two.

In episode 3, when Claire is taking her textbooks out of her locker, her Geometry book (I think it's geometry at least) has the symbol handwritten on the bottom of the book. If I'm not mistaken, it's also in that small creepy room in Sylar's apartment.

OH MY GOD!!! HOW HAS THIS SHOW SLIPPED PASSED ME?!?!?!?!?

I have to say I absolutley LOVE it! Its got everything a new age geek could want. I just got hold of the first 4 episodes from a friend and my god is this show amazing. Its like they took the best writers from Lost, C.S.I, Buffy, Charmed, Superman Returns, 24, Prison Break and some kind of wizard and made them write a show! The twists and turns are great, and it leaves you drooling for more.

The tragic cheerleader who is invincible - Absolutley amazing idea and very VERY well acted out. This role is amazing, and it came to its pinnacle when she I see her as a possible villian to the series at some point, but initially I think she will fight for good

The dreamed out boy who can use anyones powers - Great initial twist on this one as you originally think he can fly, but he evolves into a many layered character with alot about him. I see this guy as the lead hero when they finally band together (which they are SO gonna do) as

The successful senator who can fly - I really liked this one too (hell I love em all). We start off thinking its his brother who is the flyer, but in fact its him! He denys it at first then when he accepts it, he ignores it.

The single mother with issues and a Jekyll and Hyde ability - This character has so much depth its almost insane. She is confused and scared by her power but lets it guide her, even though she doesnt like the way it is going, but she will sacrifice herself at all costs for her son,

The herion addicted artist who paints the future - Another great character who I see as being the "Zordon" of the heroes (Zordon being that big floaty head in Power Rangers for all who dont know) as he accepted his power immediately and is embracing it.

The downtrodden japanese cubicle worker who controls time and space - An absolutely AWESOME character made cooler still now His power is excellent and he is very quickly evolving into it. I see alot of interesting twists for this guy.

The underworked policeman who can read minds - This is the weakest character of the set but still awesome. His story seems a little disjointed from the others but I am sure he will be integrated a lot more in later episodes. A character with true potential and from what I have seen thus far, they will not dissappoint.

Sylas - Wow, just wow.

Mohinder - Kinda cool, but no power yet so poo on him :D

Devere - See Mohinder.


Well thats my 0.02p on Heroes, im a huge fan now and cannot wait for episode 5. Could anyone tell me which night it is aired on in america, so I know when to get my download of the next one please ^^

Overreact much? o_O

Huh?

I'm sorry, what are you talking about? The show is predictable and filled to the brim with clichés. As someone on another forum said, the only cliché they haven't used yet is the glass of water falling down in tragic slow-motion - but we'll probably see that sooner or later.

Of course, the stupid new age crap they keep throwing does little to help my skeptical sensibilities ("10% of our brain"? "the cockroach is the pinnacle of evolution"? duurrrrr), but I'd forgive them if it wasn't such a trainwreck of a show. As it is, though... :|

...Yikes. I guess some people are really easily impressed... No offense.
