[Movie] Heroes

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

Spoiler:

woke up in the mortuary with her chest open

I see her as a possible villian to the series at some point, but initially I think she will fight for good

Spoiler:

as she just rammed a car into a wall at over 80mph killing the rapist/murderer

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

Spoiler:

he is the one Hiro comes to with "The message from the future"

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.

Spoiler:

When he is staring out the window in the Casino talking to the mirror girl, he says he wished he could just soar over the desert, showing that deep down he knows what he has to eventually do.

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,

Spoiler:

until she kicks the crap outta the guy in the lift!

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.

Spoiler:

I think we will see the scene where his head is hollowed out again, and also that is closely related to Sylas I think

The downtrodden japanese cubicle worker who controls time and space - An absolutely AWESOME character made cooler still now

Spoiler:

because he pauses time around the main boy, and comes back from a more distant future to deliver a message to him, and he is wearing a leather long coat and a samurai sword

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

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 ^^

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

Wow, butthurt much? Is it impossible to think that someone enjoys this kind of stuff alot and that it hasnt been done in this way before? Seems you think that your opinion is law and that no one else matters. The show is predictable in places yes, but there is alot of things that leave you guessing. The special effects are great and not over done, and its an easy show to watch. It appeals to the comic book geek in all of us and personally i'm really happy that they finally made a show like this. Now go on, your next episode of Pokemon must be ready to download. I dont openly offer abuse on forums, but you sir/lady, are an ass from what you have said ^^b Hope the fact that people are enjoying this show alot wont upset you too much that you emo wrist slash and end it all to the Booneral music from Lost.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The way you worded your post was very condescending. I was tired when I wrote the response so didnt mean it to sound quite as animated as it did, but I still think you need to take a few steps down your ladder as you seem to think that you are above us, and I dont mean that offensively, just think that this is a discussion forum, not a place where we all are going to instantly agree to your posts. I admit I was a little over excited because I had just watched all 4 episodes back to back!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

DROOOOOOOOOOOL! Awesome trailer, thanks

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Or could it be Matt's power evolving? Matt did have a very odd expression when he was talking to the prisoner, and imprisoning someone with superpowers is very unlikely if you ask me.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I have never thought that Claires father was a bad guy (the guy in the horn rimmed glasses). He is too obvious to be a bad guy. He is merely trying to use them to bring Syler to justice I think. He must know that Syler cant be captured using regular means, so he needs these extra-ordinary people to start helping.

Also im downloading the new episode now (episode 5) so I will probably post a review once I have watched it. Im really REALLY excited about this one, as according to the preview, we see Nathan fly, we meet DL, and a whole host of new jumps ^^


Edit: Ok I just re-watched the trailer and the prisoner looks scared, while the officer is shouting, and im pretty positive its the officer making the water boil. Also im very excited about the fact that the "Heroes" are now meeting up. Looks like this episode five is gonna be badass!!!! 82.2% downloaded, says 40mins left on download, BUT I WANT IT NOW!!!!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

96.7%... grrrrrrrr

FELIPE NO

Ok well I watched episode 5 and had to pick my jaw up off the floor afterwards (wasnt gonna turn away for a second during). It was another solid episode and full of tantalising new insights into the heroes lives.

Spoilers abound so I'll put the whole thing under spoiler tags out of respect for those who aint seen it!

Spoiler:

Nathan flies! Yes, we finally see him take off, sonic boom and speed about like a mad seagull. Awesome flight sequence and it seems he is getting closer to embracing his power.

Isaac is beginning to doubt his power more, as I would think he is putting his abilities down to his Heroin addiction, some kind of hallucination, or something that makes him think he is doing something special when in actual fact he isnt, but he is, and he realises that, and meets Peter, which is a great scene.

Peter uses more of Isaac's power. Seems peter is now getting better at controlling his cool power. He finished the cheerleader painting for Isaac using his powers, and he even gets the white eyes thingy too. Very cool little sequence. I like it that Mohinder has now backed out for a bit too, no one likes people without powers (Just kidding, he is a great character, but its nice to see he isnt just getting everything falling into his lap). Oh and we got the message, and what a cool message. Save the Cheerleader, save the world.

That brings me onto Claire. She had a trauma in this episode and has now seen the results of her anger. She saw Brody lying there covered in bruises etc, and now he doesnt know who she is, and I bet she thinks its her fault he has amnesia. I like how the story is beginning to revolve around Claire though cause I just cant get enough of her gruesome regeneration ^^b.

Hiro. Hirrrrrrro. Hiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooo! Man I LOVE this character. He showed us 2 very distinct separations from his character today. One, when he is in the diner, he is cute and cuddly when he asks for a lift, and is truly in awe of Nathan, and two, on the train, we meet future Hiro and boy has he done himself up. A very interesting and complicated character, but very well done. (if any of you hadnt noticed, its Franklin out of Scrubs too )

Ando went to find Nikki, which he did and was promptly cuffed and held down because of the whole mix up. Nothing much else to talk about with Ando, still a good character though.

Which brings me to Nikki. She now is more sure that its DL following her, and causing this trouble, than she is about some kind of split personality, but she gets out of her troubles and is allowed to live happy with Mika. DL is in the house now too though, and no one knows that yet.

The guy in horn rimmed glasses (Claires dad, Mr Bennet) has now become even more confusing. His power seems to be summoning a black guy to wipe memories This episode he uses a curtain to summon him. Amazing power lol. Anyways in seriousness, I am still sure that Mr Bennet is a good guy, but isnt letting too much info out yet as its an NBC show, and they dont wanna let it all out too soon. He didnt shoot Nathan when he had a clear shot at him, but he knows that Nathan is a flyer, as he gets a full display of his awesome flight.

All in all a great episode, the best yet, I just hope for more of this, as its getting a little too good to be true lol.


Oh and Mr Linderman? Blatantly the chinese woman who owns the hotel.

How ya doing, buddy?

Can we just assume that from here onwards the thread is going to riddled with spoilers so we no longer need to use the spoiler tags? Its gettin on my nerves having to click em all the time lol

Jam it back in, in the dark.
